<snipped> I complained about plenty during the year of health care insurance reform discussion. Like handing the process over to the Gang of 6. Ignoring established, bipartisan proposals like Ron Wyden's. The bill, in both the House and the Senate, did suffer from kowtowing to the extreme of the party, but it was the conservative extreme of the Democratic party that made the demands. Ben Nelson, Max Baucus, Bart Stupak...those guys got what they wanted. Progressive priorities like Single Payer/Public Option/Medicare-for-All? Not so much. ********************************\ As did many on the left. The progressive priorities were also what a majority of the people wanted. Instead the blue dogs shifted everything to kiss the insurance company's ass...as well as their republican tools. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:331112 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
