The Best Article I've Read on What to Do Regarding US Healthcare / Stewart on Sebelius

The best article I've seen regarding the US health system and what to do about it. Read it in full--Mike Smith makes a lot of sense.

Meanwhile, Jon Stewart ripped HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius last night. He got non-answers and at the end wondered if he was lied to.

I do expect the shutdown to end in a week or so; eventually both sides will

Noted leftie moonbat Jennifer Rubin blasts the GOP

I don't really see how you can say it's not hurting. One, it's too early to tell. Two, even if the GOP's best case that both parties will be blamed is true, Obama will absorb the hit for the Democrats. Guess what? He's not running for anything. Every Republican in the house is, and most of the GOP presidential candidates are on the shutdown/default bandwagon.

i am not trying to be flip, but I dont think it is incumbent on me to prove why its not hurting the GOP. Rubin, and I assume you, are saying it is. Show me some proof other than talking heads.

Country has changed a lot since Gingrich/Clinton. By this time back then the GOP was 2-1 blamed over Dems. This time its like 60-54 with obviously many blaming both
