You Know...

...this is really not making me happy:

A new government health insurance plan sought by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats could coexist with private insurers without driving them out of business, an analysis by nonpartisan budget experts suggests.

The estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — seen as good news by Democrats — comes as leaders pushed Monday to make progress on health care overhaul before lawmakers go home for their August recess.

First of all, any government health plan that isn't good enough to drive private insurers out of business, when their business model doesn't centralize healthcare but profits, isn't good enough period.

Secondly, I'm getting really fucking tired of this August recess bullshit. You know what, Congress? Most working Americans who are fortunate enough to have jobs don't get a three-day workweek and an extended summer holiday. Maybe you could skip the break, or at least delay it, this year while trying to solve an enormous crisis. Christ.
