I don't even want to look at the Massachusetts story

The health care package that was shaping up was missing the public option that I wanted, and was a sell-out to the pharmaceutical industry in a lot of other ways. But there were things there that could have made our lives better. Specifically, the lives of my own family.

And now the whole thing is jeopordized, maybe will even be gleefully deep-sixed by the Party of No.

I need some hope this morning. Somebody. Anybody. Tell me something that gives me hope. It can be on health care or anything else.
