With a vote apparently scheduled for this Sunday, the vote counters are out in full force, trying to figure out if American Congressmen and –women and Senators will finally drag the US by the scruff of its sorry neck into the advanced land of universal health care, something that the rest of the industrialized West has had for a long long time.
And one of the most interesting analyses of who is going to vote for Obama's limping, muddled-middle-of-the-road health care hill is that of the Washington Post, which has a table showing politicians' votes last time, plus the percentage of voters in each constituency who do not have health care.
And plus the amount of contributions made to each one by the health industry.
Very interesting table, especially if you have your head stuck in the sand and still believe the American political system has not been privatized, and throw open to the highest bidders.
