I am not sure you understood me. Whose to day they didn't start negotiating with the single payer option and worked their way down to the public option? Did you hear single payer mentioned by any major Democrat during the whole course of this debate? Yes, some Dems talked about it in the beginning. Internal negotiations among the Dems suggested it was a hard sell. Obama started off by talking about why we can't have it in America. Yes, Obama, put the kabosh on it.......about the time Dems didn't think they had enough votes for the single payer option. I assume the negotiations we are talking about are those that went on internally with the Dems. Negotations with the Rs consisted of the Rs wanting tort reform and nothing else. In my book that's not negotiating but rather game playing. Again the problem with the Dems is that they spent most of last year trying to talk the Rs into participating in some sort of negotiations. I am not sure why. Orders from Obama? Weak tits? Too much division within the Dems themselves? Whatever the case they wasted a year and boxed themselves into a corner, "snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory". And the more time they waste the more likely they will not get HCR done and they will be history in November.
