If we could look at what is accomplished in this legislation with the understanding that nothing more can be wheedled out of the system, then set that as the objective for a redo. If both sides could agree to do exactly that much, no more or no less. If we could then come up with the most constructive, or least destructive, way of accomplishing those slim objectives, we would be so much better off. We could get a bill under a hundred pages that hits directly on the target and wouldn't burn us going forward in myriad ways.

If. There is much debate about how our legislative process got in such a sorry state but general agreement that it is dysfunctional. Health care is a perfect example of an issue where you cold have picked and chosen ideas from the left and right and put together a really good bill... but it's not in the cards. Both sides are responsible.

I sure remember better days when the interests of the country came before the interests of the political parties.
