Has Nancy Pelosi grown horns on her head?

Maybe just a forked tongue and a large knife ready to stab the nation in the back. I actually turned off the radio, refused to watch the national news, and checking the web for a couple of weeks in order to get my spirits up. Then to have them dashed by my neighbors asking me about what I thought of what's going on. So, like the ostrich pulling his head out of the sand as a lion charges, I decided to look up some news sent to me recently.
Has our world gone mad? Okay, I realize that insurance companies are selfish pigs looking out for themselves...but at the same time, with only 2-6% profit margins? Is that really selfish? Yes something needs to be done to help the system out, but COME ON! Making lawyers more powerful in suits by mandating states who take fed money not able to pass TORT reforms? Seriously, insanity has struck! Making this nation greater does not occur by crippling it first.
No offense to my lawyer friends out there, but how much more moisture can be sucked out of beef jerky? Who wants to go through 8 years of post high school learning and 3-5 more years of residency training to get their underwear pulled over their head? Get it? No docs, no care. Simple aint it? Look to the stories coming down from our neighbors from the north who did a trial run for us already. It's a BROKEN SYSTEM! I could go on and on here...but I have a presentation to prepare for tomorrow... maybe more rantings to come.
The Wall Street Journal is calling Nancy Pelosi's 1,990-page government takeover of healthcare the "worst piece of post-New Deal legislation ever introduced." The Journal says it will create an "unrepealable middle class entitlement" that will cause taxes to "rise precipitously" and will result in "all medicine" being "rationed via politics." The CBO cost estimate is coming in at $1.055 trillion and that's just scratching the surface. The Journal says "ObamaCare will be lucky to cost under $2 trillion over 10 years; it will grow more after that."
