Thank you Avatard. Finally you have convinced me just how inept our government truly is. I completely agree that they should stay out of managing our health care.

Fuck they just make it so easy to hate us. Even from the inside.

Right. Because these concepts are related.

Oh wait, they aren't.

That makes about as much sense as saying: "because US security policy sucks, perhaps we shouldn't trust the government with the Interstate system".

Yur an ass.

can you still see light from that hole?

WTF are you even talking about? I'd say [as would a number of experts] that the Interstate system is pretty clearly one the the US Government's great success stories, and responsible for a lot of what sets us apart from other countries.

By Udman's reasoning, this story would have been reason to doubt the Government's ability to do just about anything [including that], and that, frankly is fucking stupid.

This reminds me of something local: residents on a fairly well traveled road complained to the local powers-that-be that their road was in a sad state and badly in need of repair and that since said road was a main corridor of travel to their town, their economy was suffering from lack of pass-through traffic (at gas stations and such). After many years, said local powers-that-be finally agreed to do something about said road.

Their solution?

They put up signs that say, "Rough Road"

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
