Not only can’t we get the H1N1 vaccine, we can’t get the regular vaccine either. I hope if this government insurance goes through, the government does a lot better job, but if this is any indication on how things are going to go, I’d say no to government health coverage.

This mass hysteria has created a demand for shots so vast that shortages of the vaccine have become the norm.

I'm upset or complaining about something. Frankly, people seem to like it that way. I mean, who wants to read a column about how awesome everything is?
