Over the past two days, Bob has done yeoman's work bringing us up to speed on some of the scarier provisions of Obamacare�. You know, the ones we had to pass the bill to see? As Bob mentions, this involves the death spiral of employer-based health insurance, the potential death or exit from the marketplace of some (if not many) insurers, and the potentially earlier-than-anticipated demise of at least some of our seasoned citizenry.
As Bobby McFerrin so blissfully advised, though, "don't worry, be happy:"
�We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,� Pelosi said, �a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.�
Get that? Go ahead and quit that low-paying (or high-paying, for that matter) job, because the rest of us will carry your load. One wonders what happens when we reach that tipping point, though: who pays the piper when no one's working? As Margaret Thatcher once thoughtfully observed: "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

UPDATE: The Happy Hospitalist "gets it."
