Running healthcare along a healthy business model seems great.
What is a healthy business model? Sustainability. Fiscal sobriety. Responsibility. When it comes to healthcare however, and I guess a few other things, I like the model of being a brother's keeper. In a fiscally sound manner.
Not everyone agrees with this I understand.
I do not think the Tea Party is made up of individuals who are like Pilgrims. Pilgrims no longer exist. Besides, historically, they were a heterogenous lot. They were deeply divided about their dealings with the locals for starters. They ran heretics out of town or worse.
For me, the sentence about the Tea Party was inflammatory because it is reductive. That given, I find the allusion with in the name Tea Party vexing.
My post, once again, is more suited to the politics board :-/.
