onMore than 83,000 adults have entered a state-sponsored lottery that will provide health insurance to 3,000 randomly selected people, a fraction of Oregon’s 600,000 uninsured. The lottery, the Oregonian notes, though “cruel,” will also “serve the greater good as a jarring reminder of just how broken the U.S. health care system really is.” Um, I’m sure the 597,000 people who won’t be getting health insurance this week will be glad to hear that.

Isn't it 80,000 that won't be getting health care? You can't win if you don't play! Come on, sick people.
Finally, you start to focus your attention away from the election to something more worthwhile :)
Wait, what?
Snot heads, Erica is trying to tell you to get off your asses and go to work for national health care
And it is part of the election, stupid, if you think John Mc Cain cares about the uninsured you are a fool
Sure he cares about the uninsured. Who else can he get to fight his 100 Year War?
How is giving 3,000 people healthcare cruel? Sorry, 'cruel'. What a bunch of 'fuckers'.
Instead of paying the full cost of coverage for a random small fraction of those elligible, why not offer a small subsidy to the whole lot? More people would be insured, and they would be paying more of the cost themselves.
