re: #85 Charles

Wasn’t Lieberman part of the group that drafted these provisions in the first place, that he’s now objecting to?

Yes.
He told Reid he would support the medicare for 55 and up and then turned around this weekend and said he would not.
He also said Dems need to give MORE to Republicans even though none of them (except maybe Snowe) will evereverever vote for any form of health care reform.
And while they are in love with Medicare and want to protect it at all costs we all know that once this fight is over with the Rs will go back to looking for ways to dismantle Medicare.
