Quote of the Day:

President Bush: I believe government cannot provide affordable health care. I believe it would cause -- it would cause the quality of care to diminish. I believe there would be lines and rationing over time. If Congress continues to insist upon expanding health care … which, by the way, would entail a huge tax increase for the American people -- I'll veto the bill.

Dose Ping!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

~Romans 8:28-30

Regarding national health care:

"Aneurin Bevan, the SOCIALIST [emphasis mine] who created the National Health Service after World War II, was once asked to explain how he'd talked the country's doctors into agreeing to become state employees: "I stuffed their mouths with gold," he crowed."
