Confused. can someone explain this healthcare mess?

[mgcgulfcoast]

is it just me or does anyone else think pelosi and reid are making a mess of this? all i want is a simple bill with a public option. too much to ask?

[Mrs. Overall]

1. What should Pelosi and Reid do, in your opinion?

2. Seems to me Pelosi and Reid are doing a pretty good job right now.

Herding cats is not easy.

3. Yes, it looks like a mess

because the cats are resisting herding.

But both Reid and Pelosi have enough experience to get the cats in the cage, eventually.

4. It's not simple to both reform a failing system and to simultanously bail out same failing system.

Single Payer would be far easier, and would save lots of money and provide far more people with far more health care.

But you have to remember, the point of this is to prop up the insurance companies and to also reform the insurance companies. The point isn't more health care at lower cost.

That's easy,

What the Dems are attempting is almost impossible.
