A comedy of errors
Play
Concern in the US about implementation of the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare", national healthcare) deserves comment.
First, it is hard to tell whether such programmes are meant for the good of the people or designed to make a political party look good. Any observations on that from Thais?
Second, the seemingly fly-by-the-seats-of-their-pants approach to the implementation is very American: in most, if not all, such US programmes, it has been so. Just do it!
Remember the great loosening of US lending that led to the subprime-loan and mortgage crisis – shoot first and ask questions later?
Shakespeare wrote, “All the world’s a stage,” and this is simply another act in the US tragicomedy called politics. Now, what about Thai theatre?
