Why Walter Reed --HAD TO HAPPEN--
Not
"destined to happen"

or
"allowed to happen"

but systematically "MADE TO HAPPEN ON PURPOSE"

For the first time in this country we are having serious discussions about national healthcare, A long-shot, but a serious shot.

And it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would come up with real dollar numbers and real-world experiences based on the militarys healthcare program (minus war-related injuries, of course).

Walter Reed WAS FORCED TO HAPPEN.

1. Could be - then the neo-cons can just say "You want government health care?
Remember what happened at Walter Reed!"

And then the country will go "Oh, yeah - never mind". Because the country is made up mostly of fucking idiot morons who shouldn't be allowed to handle anything more technical than a shoelace, let alone vote.

This will also be a good start to privitizing the military health system.
