2. That insurance bill.

I wonder how many bills like that are currently flying under the radar in various states. The privatization of schools and prisons, and attempts to limit women's rights make the news (as well they should!) and we all fight and petition against them (as well we should!) but things like that insurance bill get buried in all the hoopla.

I have to wonder how many things like that are being passed, and I have to wonder if some of the other controversial, high visibility issues are being raised partly to draw attention away from things like it.
