That we can have a city as progressive as San Francisco. Hat's off to the City by the Bay for unveiling a universal health plan. May the rest of the country follow suit.

5. Yes - Ass backward AAMOF
We are heading toward third world status at the speed of light. There is but a very thin and very fragile veil of civilization over us at this very moment. The only thing that can save us is many more bold moves like this one on the part of San Francisco.

3. I'm sure Federal Law will have to step in on this.
Just like On Medical Marijuana or Gay Marriage. We have already learned that the will of the citizens counts for little in this Country lately.

6. For some reason, they don't want us to solve our own problems
Oh, yeah... Halliburton... Tamiflu... right, they can't make a bazillion bucks of us if we solve our own problems.
