      Yes, that’s one of the major symptoms of no-heart disease.

      I can deal with people who say we just can’t afford universal health care, although I disagree. That’s the sort of issue that can be discussed reasonably by people who come at it from different directions.

      People who say that there’s no problem, or that any problem is caused by “health nuts” (as RL has done) or that the real danger is socialist death panels who will come to take away our Medicare … those guys there’s no dealing with.
