It's fine, not perfect.

My definition of "fine" probably excludes a deterioration in things like
unemployment numbers, foreclosures, foreign debt, trade imbalances, rising
prices, bank failures and so on. Generally when that many economic
indicators are negative all the same time "fine" is not the word that comes
to mind.

6M is not a very credible figure. Cite, please. And
no kidding - health insurance is a disaster. Like, duh.
Medicare is very expensive, so we're not doing nothing.

Don't have a link handy but that figure has been used repeatedly this week
in mainstream media so it must be based on some recent report or statistical
release by some govt. agency. Apparently there are a million more people
without health insurance too.
