Re A message passed on here

This is the kind of response one might expect with such a legislative volte face; see my recent comments re Nevins Volume 2:

'Dear Friend,

Over the past two years, especially during the election, Republicans and a select few Democrats did everything they could to derail health care reform.

Now they've fulfilled their campaign promise and voted for a full repeal. But what most haven't done is given up the affordable, subsidized federal care that they voted today to deny so many of us.

Call out this health care hypocrisy. Send a Rep. who voted for repeal the actual form to cancel their own federal insurance benefits:

Not that the passed healthcare reform bill was necessarily good legislation; we can't really do good legislation, here in this political structural framework anyway..............


further, it is not really just a 'recent problem', as references to Nevins' works, on the run up to the Civil War, or Pauline Maier on Ratification, are intended to indicate.
