If you're looking for a double-dip recession, Edward Harrison points at what to look for. Warning: A second dip could be worse than the first.

And for every story in which healthcare isn't as bad as people think you can come up with one where it is even worse. My Mother-in-law, whose husband was self employed until he died a few years ago, now has to pay through the nose to get any coverage at all (and can pretty much only choose from 1 plan - nobody else is willing to take her on).

It's easy for people who never had any issues to rally against reform, because the issues of other people are just not real to them. But that doesn't make it less real for people who are affected.
