insurance? If she's an older lady she might be able to get state assisted living it seems like there should be some fema-ish organization to atleast set her up with a temporary housing unit until she can get back on her feet.

how long does it normally take to get a train ticket? i've heard anywhere from a week to a day.

I've read very little about economics, can you recommend me a good book to get started? I'm particularly interested in something that will help me understand the type of transactions that carry a systemic risk, and that can explain why there was such an absurdly large housing market bubble and why nobody appeared to have noticed it (I guess some people did, and maybe the rest of the market decided to just brace for the deluge?)

I torn about it honestly. The fact that the insurance companies are fighting it makes me think it'll be good. But from what I hear I'm not sure how it'll be enforceable. (You exist, thus must have health insurance, oh? can't afford it? uhhh... hmmm...)  Also, I don't generally consider myself a constitutionalist, so this doesn't bother me that much, but I am a little confused at how it was ruled constitutional.

But really, I also don't quite understand why the insurance companies are fighting it. Wouldn't this drastically increase their profits? Or am I missing something?

like from the movie? did they get their own cartoon?
