Daschle talks about health care and insurance. This is much on my mind these days. I just signed up for Harvard's health plan yesterday.

I guess most people didn't know how vicious the bashing had gotten. It's pretty bad and it's been going on for years. Yesterday the bad stuff was exposed in a way that lots of good people could see.
