Mar. 2nd, 2008 12:52 pmThe Republicans are trying to rebrand illness as an irresponsible choice. All illnesses, it appears, are the result of obesity - or poor choices, such as smoking. Hospitals are failing, they say, because of the bad choices of the great unwashed. Becoming ill is now rebranded as a bad choice. I wonder when the American public will stop falling for Republican rebranding. One only need look at our current economy to understand the impact of Republican policies. One only need look at our involvement in a war that can't be won - and McCain's vision of letting it go on 100 more years - to understand the Republican failure or lack of willingness to understand problems and devise solutions.
