No, I'm not talking about panic attacks from seeing so much money spent by the government with so little discussion, although I'll grant you that is a concern. Rather, I reference the sneaky health care measures that were tucked into this bill while we were all distracted with how much we hate Wall Street and President Bush.
My favorite part is the apportionment of funding based on age. Old people (who by the way will have paid a larger share of taxes by the time they reached old age) are apparently less deserving of health care than the young. Unbelievable.
As a health-care professional myself, I can tell you that while a portable and accessible electronic medical record is a great idea, adding another layer of bureaucracy to health care will only serve to drive a wedge between doctors and their patients. And the slowing of new technologies and medicines is crazy talk, why have the best health care in the world if you can't benefit from it?
As we take the first step down the long-anticipated path to socialized medicine, one wonders how much longer having the best in health care will even be an issue.

ALERT: Nolan, Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina http://demint.senate.gov/public/ has asked that conservative Bloggers read and pull apart the 1588 page "Stimulus" and help them expose the pork, bacon and other craziness contained therein. Here is your link to jump right in to the bill: http://readthestimulus.org/. Sounds like fun :-)
