And while we’re having birthdays…

Medicare celebrated its 47th birthday earlier this week.

And thanks, Leftover, for the link.

  1. I believe that is our Mike Mansfield…a principle player in getting Medicare through Congress…directly behind LBJ.

    Mike was one of the good guys. Even if he was a capitalist.

    An original Blue Dog, they don’t make ‘em like Mike anymore. Not in Congress anyway.

  2. Yeah, single payer…. Everybody in, nobody out. What a great idea!

    And, you know what? It seems vaguely, well, Christian, too. So I’m surprised the conservative Hyper-Christians are not all for it. Oh, silly me. I forgot. They actually worship Gordon Gekko while publicly proclaiming something quite different (like Rick Perry’s football stadium prayer-fest).

    Physicians for a National Health Plan has a neat FAQ with a LOT of answers (well, theirs, anyway) about a single-payer system, right here.

  3. Oh yeah…speaking of Happy Happy…
    Happy Free Birth Control Day!
    Maybe.
