Almost all that neurotic energy has gone into his work. The child of divorced parents on Long Island, New York, he lived in a different home than his two siblings did and spent a lot of time - as in from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day - watching television. As a kid, he'd push his tape recorder against the TV so he could transcribe every episode of Saturday Night Live. At his high school radio station, he wangled interviews with comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno and Steve Allen; at 15 he started doing stand-up at clubs...

And relatives who reside in different cities or states can go without seeing other family members for months at a time, until holidays once or twice a year—if even that...
...replaced, right, all the horror stories you hear from the British model or the Canadian system that people who are opposed to reform always trot out. Or, alternatively, you just have this bloated system in which we don't even try to make it rational, we just sort of live with what we have. And what I'm trying to suggest is, is that there's this huge space in between where we could make the system much more efficient, much more cost-effective, make people much healthier, and still not have to resort to some of the rationing that...
