I recall getting my school vaccinations and being happy for them. When you see what Polio does to those you love, or measles encephalopathy, you’re glad someone found an effective preventative!!

True. There is, however, lots of good research on apologies issues by institutions who fail to act after disclosure. I got a public apology from a prosecutor for an undercharged/tanked case. It was healing.

I worked in the hill. I know how this works. If the House modifies what was sent, it goes back to the Senate. I’m not fooled.

I know Tim fairly well. He’s a really thoughtful man. I believe he’s doing triage for VA. Getting SNAP funded, veterans, and work/pay guarantees for Feds is a big deal to his constituents. I heard his remarks — he feels there is at least a 50/50 chance re: ACA. I can’t fault him.

I was on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court when oral arguments were decided 36 days later. Will never forget it.
