    Looks like the bottom and 2nd see a gain, while the biggest hits are third through seventh. That, of course, would be me....

    Yep. Interesting that the people sacrificing most to lift the poorest quintile in health care is the next poorest quintile. Followed by, the middle quintile. Doing the least: the top quintile. So much for income distribution evening things out.

    Heh. Max, unfortunately the government is much better at the first than the second.
