You Can Take the Clue Train

Someone else can filk the rest of the song, but it appears that even the Blue dogs are starting to get a clue:

At this moment, all Democratic politicians, even the most conservative, are realizing that their voters will blame them, not the insurance companies, if the policies the voters are required to buy are so expensive that premiums consume over 20 percent of those voters’ annual incomes. Suddenly, more generous tax subsidies to cover middle-class premiums seem like a good idea. And if the public option can bring down the cost of premiums those subsidies have to pay for, then the overall size of the reform price tag can be kept under control – a long time demand of moderate Democrats.

(emphasis mine)

Yeah. It took a while, but the Blue Dogs now realize that most people hate their insurance companies.

Hoocoodanode?
