God forbid people would want to act, via their duly elected government, to improve their condition, or extend the terms of the social contract to the most vulnerable among us! We all know that true, virtuous hearty frontiersmen (um, what frontier exactly?) never get sick! And if anyone else does it's because they're weak, degenerate wards of the state.

Kent Conrad & of late my home state Sen. Maria Cantwell) and that something good will get done by the end of the year.
