If anyone has the time for some light reading, this the best piece I've ever read on healthcare reform.

There was a guy in the 70's who did advertisements for Grape Nuts and was an early fitness guru. Believe it or not America used to be even fatter than it is now. And when guys worked out they had short gym shorts and white tube socks and looked like faggots.
But I digress, Grape Nut boy dropped dead at a young age. -
