So, we are going to have to revisit healthcare. What should we learn first? Legislation designed totally by committee with buy-in from only part of the political world isn't the best of ideas. I hold Republicans primarily responsible, since they took their ball and went home even when the suggested legislation was very similar to their proposals, but there is, as usual, blame enough to go around. The answer, as the civilized world knows, is national healthcare. Lower cost, bigger bang for the buck, a healthier populace than we have, lower infant mortality, lower drug costs, and so on. But one scream of socialism is more powerful in this country that can't quite define any of the isms than a ton of evidence. So we are in for another 10 years or so of suffering before we arrive at the point we could have reached under Nixon, Clinton, Obama. Did I leave anyone out? They all tried but ran into the lunatic fringe.
