Early this morning the Senate passed a version of its health care overhall. Democrats say the changes are seismic and  the reform package will most likely be delivered by Christmas.

We have to say we are utterly confused as to what exactly this health care reform bill means. All we know is that there is no public option and that the lack of resistance from some quarters of the health care industry made us believe the bill would probably  not be in our common interest. When Big Pharma’s stocks go up when the Senate signs a health care reform bill we know that is a bad sign.
