Slow Thinking on Health Care Reform

Ever since I suffered vegetable poisoning as a child at the hands of my cruel parents, I’ve been a little slow to understand. What is “compassionate conservatism” again?

clue:

“Compassionate conservatism is the theory that the government should encourage the effective provision of social services without providing the service itself.” — Michael Gerson, aka “Mr. Compassionate Conservatism”

Since that describes the recent health care reform law... what has changed since Dubya?

give me a clue so sweet and true
