Everybody's angry ... about health care

Everybody, it seems, is angry about health care. And if I have learned one thing in following this incendiary topic, it’s this: you can’t escape the outrage.

Believe me, I’ve tried. I was late to the party of anger and only swept up in the fervor by virtue of my being collateral damage–angry due to others’ anger.

This time of year I like to frequent college football message boards to keep up with the latest scoop on which players are developing during spring practice and who’s climbing up the depth chart.

Have I been able to find that out lately? No! Instead of discovering if the quarterbacks can make “all the throws,” or if the middle linebacker can run sideline to sideline, I’m reduced to reading wild rants about health care reform–on a college football message board!

I thought I would be the last angry man in America, but now I’m mad, too.

Maybe, hopefully, by the time you read this in April, everyone will have joined arms at the elbows and will be swaying and singing happy songs about health care. But something tells me whether a bill has pushed through by then, somebody, somewhere, is going to be angry–very, very angry.
