Virginia's lawsuit on health care can proceed ...

Did anybody really read the federal health care "reform" legislation before it was passed? Except the small clique who wrote it, that is.

I don't think so.

Politics has become all about winning, forget substance, as in "win" a victory on something, anything that can be labeled "health care reform" ... and just keep mangling it until it can pass (aka win).

Is it a Potemkin village? (Which might not have existed either!)

The huge windfall for insurance companies and the slashing of benefits to senior citizens plus the increase in Medicaid costs at the State level ... coming down the pike ... after the 2012 election ... so it isn't noticed for now ... all so Obama could take credit for passing health care "reform"?

Are they kidding us?

There may be a huge windfall for we the people in the Virginia lawsuit whether it succeeds or not. We may get the in-depth review of the federal health care reform legislation that we should have had in the first place.

What the Obama clique lost sight of in the rush to have the federal health care reform legislation passed in the first year of his presidency, was that peaking too soon often leads to failure to reach the real goal. I believe the passage of his package—with the objective of having something, anything pass—dissipated the political force still growing behind health care reform ... and with the growing realization of how bad the reform that passed really is ... we may not be able to overcome the backlash against a federal solution for a long time.

Plus if deflation takes hold and structural unemployment and under-employment become the accepted norm, health care reform may recede into the fog of distorted history. (See "Defining Prosperity Down", by Paul Krugman in The New York Times, August 1, 2010)
