In any case, he's simply wrong. Article V can easily be interpreted to include health care, if one isn't prejudiced to preclude it in the first place. Eric Lucas

Yes, it is one of the sad outcomes of Bush's attempt at a totalitarian regime that he legitimized this sort of "you disagree with me, so I will assume you're a(n) idiot/traitor/lemming/(insert insult of choice here)" argument. It's sad, because it's quite clear that the only way anything useful is ever going to get done in Washington is by agreement between the various differing parties. The polarization of the US population, whereby the far-right feels justified in calling centrists "leftist loons", is probably going to take years to die down. Eric Lucas

I would have been happy if such long discussion had taken place on topic like 'what was before big bang'. Jihad don't need scientists. This thread is closed. -neo.

So by this rationale, Aetna controls what doctors do? Sometimes shallow platitudes don't actually meaningfully reflect what happens in the real world...all they really do is attempt to substitute for and shortcut a reasoned discussion of the facts.
