There are a few magats coming out publicly and grieving their choice, although our subject above does seem a little dense on the face of it. I think they have to do their regrets publicly as a form of catharsis. They may suspect they'll get jumped on, and we should, but applaud the switch being ๐

I apologise if my initial response was blasรฉ. It's just that I still fail to understand how the wealthiest country in the West does not wish for some kind of universal health care. "Socialism" is the usual response, yet the Govt gives handouts to farmers and now takes a stake in Intel. Hypocrites!
