 Yes, you read the title correctly:  Finger bitten off during California health protest.  My first response, as I am sure was your response, "would this be covered under the current plan before Congress?  Or would I need to speak with a committee before having my finger re-attached?"

I have written several pieces on the "death of dialogue" in American political rhetoric.  But... really?  Biting?  Have the town hall meetings been reduced to playground biting?  I believe that even Ozzy Osbourne would be taken back by this story.  Of course, with this current plan before Congress, amputation by biting may be the only cost and time efficient form of surgery in the near future.

The linked article states that gentlemen who lost his finger in the unfortunate debacle - is 65 years of age - and he does have Medicare.  By the way, he does not support socialized health care.  While the attacker, who supports socialized health care, was able to flee on foot, they have a clear description of who he was.
 
Sad.  American political dialogue has been downgraded to - a bite and run.  :)
