"Wow, you call 9 months of hearings, wrangling, markup, kowtowing to the Gang of 6 (half Republicans) and tossing aside anything that had any slight smell of appealing to health care reform advocates (even the watered down public option) as 'ramming through'?"
Yes. Yes I do. There are the payoffs like the Cornhusker kickback and the Louisiana Purchase to get the ball rolling (and probably others that we don't know about yet). The complete lack of bipartisanship (see the vote totals and locked door summits). The dissaproval of the a significant majority of the American electorate. The use of reconciliation to amend the bill. And so. "You obviously were not paying attention." Yes. Yes I was. Closely. It's obvious that you were not paying attention.
