Weekend Round-up

By Evan Falchuk

What I read (or wrote) this weekend:

1. CONSPIRACY! Can’t figure out why health care reform isn’t as popular as you think it should be?  Look for the mysterious forces aligning against it.  Or something like that.

2. NEUROSURGERY. Top Red Sox prospect, Ryan Westmoreland, needs serious brain surgery.  He is afflicted with the same kind of problem that struck my brother, Brad Falchuk, co-creator of Glee. I hope Westmoreland’s doctors are as skilled as those who treated my brother.

3. HEALTH CARE FOR ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS AND WRITERS. Nancy Pelosi says,

Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.

She’s running out of time, but give her credit, she’s doing her best to come up with brand new rationales for whatever reform plan she’s talking about.

4.  ONLY ONE MORE WEEK? The White House says the (some) health care reform plan will be “the law of the land” by this time next week.  Whatever you think of whatever it will be, there is good news for health care bloggers:

“[O]nce it passes, we’re happy to have the 2010 elections be about the achievement of health care reform.  That’s a debate I think we’re obviously comfortable having.”

5.  DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. Not awesome.
