That reason is our out-of-control, highest-in-the-world, wiggety-wiggety-wack health-care costs. They're gobbling one-sixth of our economy, and without reform they'll devour one-third of our economy by 2040; the average family's annual premiums are on track to exceed $45,000 in 2008 dollars. They're already destroying businesses small and gigantic; unaffordable health-care liabilities are one of the main reasons GM and Chrysler went bust. And since half of all health care is paid for with tax dollars, these exploding costs are a fiscal, as well...

...Wack!," a hugely enjoyable show, immerses you in the plucky, unfettered atmosphere of '70s feminism. After centuries in which men had the last word on how women's bodies were seen in art, it was finally the turn of women to see what to make of themselves.
