HEALTH CARE: Law not an abomination

Sen. Goedde was quoted as saying the health care law is an "abomination." (Definition: something vile, loathsome; that excites disgust or hatred.) Really Senator, is that what you think? Closing the doughnut hole that allows seniors a little better chance to pay for their medical drug needs is vile? Allowing parents to keep their college age children on their insurance giving a little better opportunity to finish college and pursue the American dream is loathsome? Halting some of the predatory practices of insurance companies such as canceling insurance on people who have the temerity to get ill excites your disgust?
