8. at the rate the opponents are spending against HC reform, in a year it'll be OVER
450 Million bucks in lobbying/advertising/astroturfing, etc.

do the math....in an industry that generates TRILLIONS, what's half a billion?

not very hard to figure out

just lookit who in the house/senate is getting their largesse, then ask yourself how much the Obama campaign took in during the election from healthcare-related operations. I heard the other day it was $16-18 million, an even tinier drop

we'll see what happens, but I look for something along the lines of 93-94, with a better brand of lipstick painted on the pig that we'll be stuck with, but I've always been an optimist

cheerio
