But we are at the, "start to pay for your own healthcare so we no longer have to" stage with the PPACA, and that's a good thing.
Yes, the attacks on Michelle Obama for trying to get kids to eat right and exercise are beyond absurd and silly. It would be like attacking Lady Bird Johnson for environmental issues, or Nancy Reagan for trying to eliminate drug abuse.
