Seems sensible to me.
I'd add--though I think the obstacle here is at the state, rather than the federal, level--reforms that would allow much greater availability of very high deductible, insurance-against-disaster plans.

It doesn't look like a big deal to me. Yet.
John Fund, Wall Street Journal, yesterday:
Blue Dogs who are dragged into Speaker Pelosi’s office should be aware of just how she is selling the health care bill. Yesterday, she told supporters it represented “real change,” because it meant “a cap on your [health care] costs, but no cap on your benefit.” Assuming Speaker Pelosi was quoted accurately, and assuming she wasn't "misspeaking", she is utterly bereft of economics. She is asserting the equivalent of a perpetual motion machine in physics.
Assuming the pictures are accurate, it looks like U.S. kids are getting a bad deal on both nutrition and taste.

Excellent commentary from Robert Fulford, National Post:
Most episodic shows tell two stories simultaneously. One deals with fictional characters. The other is the narrative's slow evolution under the pressure of desperate producers and harried writers.
The second story demonstrates that the history of a TV series, like the history of a nation or an art movement, falls into four periods -- primitive, classic, baroque and decadent.
The time it takes to get to "baroque" and "decadent" seems to be getting shorter.
This blog has drawn all the types listed, but I recognize the types. A fine and funny classification.

. . . the making of the much, much delayed video version of Atlas Shrugged.
But the mini-series is a bad idea.
