re: #982 opnion

Avanti, how can you have confidenc in thi Bill, when Obama does not even know key components.
Why the rush? let the thing get totally vetted & debated, let the American public understand this thing.
It looks like a wolf in sheeps clothing. Private plans will no be able to comete with the subsidized public option & will go away through attrition & then we will have a single payer system & that works poorly everywhere.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, I’m covered by Medicare. I do think we could go slower, but I see the left’s problem with that. They need to get some kind of bill passed quickly, or the right will chip away at support by scaring the crap out of the public that wants health insurance.
I’d hope the Dems make some dramatic gesture to stall the attacks, i.e. tort reform, no government option for now or the like.
