So, in the Olympic men's hockey final, the country with single-payer health insurance defeated the county with the world's biggest health insurance mess.
I'm not saying this is a harbinger of things to come. But, if it had been the other way around, you can bet that the conservative chattering classes would have been comparing it to 1980's "Miracle on Ice," in a year that ended with the dawn of all things Reagan, and prophesying a similar result in the 2010 elections.
So maybe this is a sign of a different future for us. If so, go U.S.A.! And either way, in the meantime, congratulations to our neighbors from the North.
