Okay, an hour into Eddington.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage

The important thing about having a political class is that it should be really bad at doing politics. What you want are people who love graft, insider trading, abject cowardice, and so on.
