Digby. When is it going to be enough? Will it take 100 million Americans watching 50 million needlessly suffering mothers living in their children’s basements, eating cat food and drinking themselves through the pain because they can’t afford drugs? Sure seems like it. I’ve made a lot of lists in my time, of what progressive should do, of what should be a priority for Democrats, etc. But seriously: fixing the health care mess in this country feels more and more like a “revolutionary” situation to me every day. Everyone gets sick, eventually. Everyone ages. Everyone dies. Even in a culture of massive desensitization, one which worships bloodshed and violence, people still don’t like watching loved ones suffer needlessly. I don’t know Jane personally, but I know many like her. Again I can only ask: who will be the smart, completely safe for two terms Democratic presidential candidate who wants to ride this wave? Runway models and cheerleaders aren’t as popular as that person would be.
