Several of the inquiries make good sense to me.

Also, I would like to see them (congress) whittle away at the problem - take one facet of the issue at a time instead of trying to “fix” the multiple systems involved with one huge, complex, confusing, and unreasonable bill. I’m sure there are some parts of this discussion that both sides can agree on at least to some point. That would be a great starting place.

(and, yes, I think they need to hit the reset button and start over)

I don’t agree that it is in the Dems best interests to start over. When you get right down to it, I think the GOP plan is not to start over so they can have a bill they can vote for, but to use whatever means to kill any bill whatsoever.

As long as Obama’s name is attached to it, they won’t vote for it, even if it is something they would easily support if it came from a Republican president. I will keep thinking that until they prove otherwise.
