re: #200 iceweasel

Very true.
Also, I will add that the Brown win doesn’t mean much in that area. The Dems always and only had a ‘super majority’ in name only, which is one reason why we didn’t see HCR passed in the previous 4 months. Blue Dogs, etc.
The Repubs will oppose all efforts at it. Many Dems will collude in those efforts.
So it goes.

I’m not sure if you noticed, but the vast majority of independents hate this bill in its entirety -that is from top to bottom. In their eyes, the best thing to do is start over from scratch. The Dems did have a super-majority, but this majority could not make the impossible possible (offering Universal Coverage without increasing the debt, and without rationing). There were a whole host of other problems that individual lawmakers were bribed to ignore. This bill is so bad that not even the residents of Hyanisport Mass. supported it.
