Reforming the health care system was always going to be a monumental task.
Look around at the conflicting outrage. A lot of people claimed we'd never get to this point.

Obama and the Democrats deserve enormous credit for preventing the right, left, center, arm chair quarterbacks and those off their rocker from derailing the process, this time.

2. The process was derailed over ten years ago. Nothing's changed.

5. Amen.
And I just want to let you know how much your many informative, coherent, sensible posts have been appreciated throughout this very messy and unpleasant process. I've emailed a number of them to confused, disturbed friends and family.

Your name is truly well chosen, ProSense.

You're a shining light and I salute you.

7. Why should Obama get any credit? He should've threatened to veto the bill
Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 11:14 PM by jenmito
if it didn't have a public option and then when Lieberman, Nelson, Landrieu, etc., didn't vote for a public option, he would've had the satisfaction of being a "purist" with no bill. :shrug: :sarcasm:

11. Yeah...they're to be congratulated for getting us...
from one shithole to another...granted, I realize some shitholes don't stink as much as others, but it's still a shithole.
