Healthy

A few new tidbits as we prepare for September's return to health care reform.

For one, President Obama is about to lay down dealbreakers, so anyone who's called it "Obamacare" in the past may actually be right in the future.

For another, it seems that health insurance reform opponents are so often underinformed morons, even those given a seat on national television. Hello, Maria, do you even know what Medicare is?

And it turns out that in the first real test case that might match what's coming on the federal level, San Francisco's public health insurance option rates a record-breaking 94% approval. (I assume the other 6% will be the loudmouths at the next town hall.)

Lastly, for tonight, there are Republicans who want a public option. And their sticking it to Benedict Grassley of the near-defunct Senate "band of six":



Yep. My favorite political ad thus far this year.
