The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Because I WANT a government insurance plan

    Teabaggers insist they have a right to keep their private insurance plan. They don't have to explain why. They don't justify it. They say it's their right. Their choice. They want private insurance, and that's that.

    So let me get this straight. It sounds like they think it's their right to choose a private health insurance policy, but for 40 million other Americans, health insurance itself is not a right. Uh-huh. And their "right" to private insurance trumps my desire for a government-administered insurance policy. Hmmm.

    As church lady used to say: Well, isn't that special!
