And that’s exactly what our health care bill will do.”
A blogger instantly retorted that it was actually the feast of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. “The Feast of St. Joseph the Worker is May 1,” Scott Richert wrote on About.com.
“The way she sees it is — this is the same St. Joseph,” said a spokesman for the speaker of the House.
The moral here is that nothing about health care reform is easy. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
