Semi-Republicans Show Semi-Support for Healthcare

Several semi-employed Republicans have recently said they support Barack Obama’s healthcare reform plan, but today brings news that a couple of employed semi-Republicans do too: Arnold Schwarzenegger (technically an R but pretty much disowned by most of his party) and Michael Bloomberg (currently pretending to be an independent).  There’s still not much in the way of support from anyone who’s both employed and a red-blooded Republican, but it’s a start.
