The part where it is administered by a huge bureaucracy. That always means
efficiency didn't you know?

I'd bet they will. They are idealogues. They really do believe that
once they pass it, the electorate will come around to their point of
view. They will also push cap and trade. I doubt it has any chance,
but they will push it.

They disapprove so much that they elected another obstructionist eh? You
guys are laughably predictable.
The lose of Ted's seat to a Republican in the middle of healthcare reform is
nothing short of remarkable. Watch and see what the markets do today.

The best thing about Democrats is that when the American people reject their
policies they always insist that the American people want more of their
policies. Kinda like if you shot yourself in the foot, your analysis of the
problem would be - the reason my left foot hurts so much is that my right
foot has not been shot. Therefore, I will shoot myself twice in the right
foot.

You will never be happy even if what you say comes to pass.

Health care is a right, you have a right to as much healthcare as you can
afford. The problem is that the current system is structured so that costs
spiral out of control and people cannot afford it. Reforms are needed to
bring the cost of healthcare down. The correct reforms do not put this into
the hands of bumbling bureaucracies, they put this into the hands of the
consumers. We face similar problems where other institutions are government
run and consumers have virtually no input, like public education. It works
poorly and costs a fortune. How about social security? How about medicare
and medicaid? Expensive, poorly functioning enterprises.

It takes a special kind of political hack not to be able to see the
similarities.
