We cats are still engaging in New Year's festivities, but we want to take a moment this January 1, 2014 to say congratulations to all the Americans who have just gotten health coverage through the Affordable Care Act — and who maybe are about to see a doctor for their first time in ages, if not in their entire lives.
We also don't understand why the Koch brothers think that this is the most evil thing ever. Why is it bad that people get preventive care that's paid for, instead of waiting until their conditions become critical, and when we all have to foot the bill? Why is it better that society pays through the nose for uncompensated emergency room visits?
We're waiting for an explanation. Just like we're waiting to hear from Ken Mehlman why it was better to ram through all those gay-hating laws 10 years ago — so the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived could get re-elected and kill a whole bunch more US soldiers in Iraq.
Sorry, have we cats digressed? Whatever. We HISS.
