  While you're waiting ambivalently, Ron, would it be safe to say that you have some sort of health care plan of your own?

    There is no "Obamacare" bill, only one emerging from the stew of conflicting
    agendas in congress.  I respect the opinion of some of those who oppose it,
    but am not wholly convinced by their rhetoric -- which in some cases consists
    merely of sneers, insults, accusations & prophecies of doom.

    I grant that the bill seems radically flawed & unsatisfactory as it stands, but I
    support its passage in the (possibly unrealistic) hope that it can be changed to
    something more like single-payer in the near future -- perhaps a year or two.
    Either way, one's judgment rests on speculation about what will happen in the
    future.  Those closest to the immediate situation -- CCHCC, CBHC, the nuns,
    etc. -- seem overwhelmingly to support it.  Those who predict that it will
    result in ultimate disaster are faking & bluffing -- standard fare on this list, to
    be sure.

    What disappoints me is the confluence of the glib & the gullible in opposing it,
    & the notable lack of substance in their arguments.

    Ambivalently,

    -- Ron
