...stand-up comedy, television and movies, Apatow's plugging away suddenly paid off: he broke out as the creator of a genre of foulmouthed straight-man-love movies - the bromance. The first movie he directed, 2005's The 40 Year-Old Virgin, earned more than four times its cost at the U.S. box office. This enabled Apatow to produce all the scripts he'd been studiously stockpiling, making seven movies in 2007 and '08 - Knocked Up (which he also directed), Superbad, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Drillbit Taylor, Step Brothers and Pineapple Express - and inspiring...

...then gives traction to this notion that we are interested in expanding government; which then feeds into suspicions that somehow health care is another big government project that we can't afford. And it's very hard, particularly when the figures get thrown out there - "This is going to cost $1 trillion" - even though it's $1 trillion over 10 years, even though we've identified $600 billion of the trillion dollars so that we're really talking about raising somewhere between $300 and $400 billion over 10 years, or $30 or $40 billion a year, which with very modest...
