The death of a politician should have absolutely no bearing on any form of massive, sweeping change legislation that will massively expand the federal government

Cause that's never happened before. Oh, wait, there's a reason I freaking love Lyndon B. Johnson. It's practically tradition for people to use death or a great tragedy to their own political advantage. If you don't think the Senators aren't going to realize that's what's happening, well, let's just say they will.

I'd rather have crappy insurance than no insurance. Because right now? I can't afford to go to the doctor let alone fill any prescriptions I might have to get filled. Instead I will hope that this chest thing doesn't turn into bronchitis.

And what is your issue with the DMV? I've never had any problems with it and the people are always really nice.
