Both will result in the rationing of health care, and what angers me
most is that the egregious item that you raised was part of a
REPUBLICAN-sponsored bill.  But they tell me we're winning the
battle of ideology....
At least (Republican) Rep. Kyl of Arizona has sponsored legislation
to repeal this horrible law.  Let's just hope that Newt and the
