A Medicare Rant -- not mine, but brilliantly ranty!

PortlyDyke over at Shakespeare's Sister has given a priceless rant on the topic of the US Medicare system.

It opens with the best defense ever of having a rant:

This is a rant. This is only a rant. For the next few minutes, you will be experiencing a rant. If this were an actual political-action item, the rant you are about to read would be followed by official information, news, or instructions.

Pure Awesome.
