>> Yeah, in the real world, there is a lot of doubt. Most people think it's been broken for many years, and most people don't think it is destroyed, at least at the moment.

Sorry, I was talking about amongst those of us who understand what has happened here.

Most people do not and did not think the health care system was broken. They thought it was too expensive, which it was -- primarily because of government meddling in the first place.

>> Why did you leave Pelosi out?

It is not my view that Pelosi was a major factor. By the time it returned to the House, it was all but assured to be a party-line vote.

A strong argument, in fact, an irrefutable one, can be made that SS, Medicare and now Obamacare are the three worst pieces of still-standing legislation in the nation's history.

except their enemies weren't so dumb to call them Roosevelt Security and Johnsoncare.

Darn it, it worked when they called Clinton's attempt 'Hillarycare'...

Yet another example of magical thinking on the part of the Right.
