Reply #47: It's a bad bill because by the time the senate is done with it [View All]

it will benefit insurance companies more than citizens. It's a bad bill because Democrats compromised their original position before they even drafted up the bill. THey took what everyone wanted off the table.

How to get what you want in a bill:

You put in everything you want and MORE to start with, then you compromise and come to a consensus somewhere in the middle. You don't pull single payer and a "robust" public option before you even start drafting the fucking bill. You don't compromise your position till you HAVE to.
