The Evolution of a Health Care Bill

[Stingo]

Single Payer -> Public Option -> Private Health Co-ops. What Obama campaigned on isn't represented at the end of that equation, is it?

1. No, and to tell you the truth...

...I never really expected it. When Obama talks of bipartisanship and allows the health insurance giants to the table while excluding the proponents of a single-payer system, you know which way the wind is blowing. It makes me ill, but I have the feeling we'll have to wait another 25 years before this theme comes up if nothing substantial happens now. The ignorant masses simply haven't suffered enough as to make a difference.
