Health-care bill

She drops her backpack and slides into her seat. The professor enters the classroom and writes the day's agenda on the whiteboard. She watches without interest. Another Monday, another senior-level communication class to sit through. Not even a lively discussion about the health-care bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives the evening before captures her attention. Why would it? She is Canadian after all. She can't remember a time without universal health-care. What is the big deal about the whole thing anyway? She doesn't know and she doesn't care to find out. She looks at the clock. 10:09. Still another 41 minutes to go. She unzipps her backpack and pulls out today's newspaper. Centerpiece is a monotone picture of the bill being passed. She flips to the Lifestyle's section and opens to the Puzzles page. Doing the word search and sudoku will help pass the time.
