“Health Care Reform Bill Signed! (need to fix an old cartoon)” reposted from WendMag’s Greenery page.
“When Climate Change and Health Care Reform Collide” from 9/15/09 (see revision below this cartoon)

The Health Care bill was signed today so the preexisting conditions part of the joke is null–but the fact that Mother Nature still needs immediate care is an issue.
