I'm quietly rejoicing about the health care bill too. I was working at the Rural Clinic this morning (a few mornings a month I answer the phones there) and one of the lab techs asked what I thought it meant, and I explained the basics of it as I understood it, and said it was imperfect but I thought it would turn out to be good.
And she said, you know, it would be a wonderful thing if it put us out of business because nobody needed our help anymore.
I think so too.
(The Rural Clinic is staffed by doctors and dentists who take a day off their regular practices, and come in and see patients for free--the nurses, lab techs and receptionists are all doing likewise. We do help a lot of people, but we have to turn people away all the time--sometimes people who really need the help--because we don't have enough appointments.)
