Reflections of a stormy petrel

If universal health care is used as a Trojan horse to force even more direct abortion with less or no safeguards for opposition to it, as the Democrats are certainly using it, then it makes it objectively impossible even for someone like me, who believes in the principle, to support it as it is presented. Remember that, even disregarding abortion, Obama's main intellectual sin on this one has been to present a bill so complicated and enormous, on a schedule so tight, that discussion and alteration are made more or less impossible.
