Attention is drawn to the opening line of the post:

"we are officially in fantasyland" Alas,.

NB:You need no longer be a government employee to buy insurance from GEICO.

Non Slovenes bank at the Slovenian Credit Union.

For those unable to dredge up the name of a veteran, I believe John Kerry served. Or, you might like Ike (precious blood of the Sweet Baby Jesus, how I miss those old marginal tax rates...)

For those with a taste for irony, George Armstrong Custer is a qualifying veteran, but you might not want to cite him as a friend.

For that matter, Benedict Arnold is a qualifying veteran. The list is endless. Myself, I think I'll call upon Bill Sherman to get me my benees; he knew how to tour the south.

Anyway, you get the idea.

The odd thing is, this is a completely revenue neutral idea--in fact, it actually makes money, imposes no mandate, no penalties. It''s just the good old free market.

I bet the parasites, er, health insurers, and their Repugnant running dogs (Mitch M, this means you) would find some bizarre objection, nonetheless.

It's a great idea. But if this becomes reality we have to hammer the question home: why not the rest of us, too?

Oh, pooh! ArtA, I was sold as well. What a beautiful idea! No wonder it can't be true. You could have let us go on believing until after Christmas...

Donal & wws:

Appears to me that this is a proposal for the president to execute his executiveness. It's written in jolly-speak, so you have to read carefully:

you will perhaps be amused by a single provider plan which could, I think, result from executive vigor (if only we had a vigorous executive...) with no tiresome legislative hoorah-ing.

My sister-in-law works for VA. I'll have to ask if she's heard about this. I suppose I'm eligible due to my Dad.

Can this be true? If so,

Can this be true? If so, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, perhaps, for those of us three or more years too young for Medicare, but unemployed and now off Cobra's list. Is this real? Or just an idea?
