Sometimes you think you’ve lived before
All that you live today
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play!“Where or When,” Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart
“It seems we’ve stood and talked like this before,” goes the Rodgers and Hart lyric above, finally ending with a question: “But who knows where or when?”
When it comes to health care reform, it does seem we’ve “stood and talked like this before,” because we have — many times. And there’s no question as to where or when.
