The topic is ostensibly the feminist triumph of Pelosi ramming through a healthcare bill (which personally I don’t get– I’ve never had any doubts that she’s ambitious, overreaching and the scariest tyrant in heels since Kim Jong-il), but the column’s mostly about the god-awful bill itself:

The plight of the uninsured (whose number is far less than claimed) should be directly addressed without co-opting and destroying the entire U.S. medical infrastructure. Limited, targeted reforms can ban gouging and unfair practices and can streamline communications now wastefully encumbered by red tape. But insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry are not the sole cause of mounting healthcare costs, and constantly demonizing them is a demagogic evasion.
