>>Start with single-payer and go from there. >Z, that's great but how do you ignore the reality? They can't get a less than robust public option passed...what makes you think they will do any better with the 'socialistic' single payer option? I didn't say that they're going to end up with single-payer. That's not realistic. But if you're planning to negotiate, you don't start with the most you think you can get... You just end up with less than that! That I understand but whose to say they didn't negotiate in that fashion? It looks like the Rs were not negotiating at all and the Dems were afraid to pass a bill without GOP support. To me the Dems act like slaves who finally go their freedom but still look to their former masters for permission.
