Can it truly be possible that despite the most popular Democrat in the White House in 45 years and commanding Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate (the latter nearly filibuster-proof), that the quest for the Holy Grail of politics -- a national health-care insurance program -- is likely to fail yet again?

Nationalized health care isn't dead yet.

I say kill it, drive a stake through its heart, burn the corpse, and scatter the ashes at sea.

Don't forget to watch every wave that washes ashore for a speck of those ashes trying to come back to haunt us. Socialism is worse than the Blob or Freddy Krueger - it can't be killed. You just have to stay alert through all the sequels if you want to survive.
