also agree our system is flawed. I do not trust that this plan under this Congress is the proper “fix” for those flaws. I also think there are problems than can be alleviated now, without having to wait four years. And I am amazed at being told that this plan will not be in place for another 4 years, after being told that it is so critically important to “fix” our system we should have just sat back an allowed the proposed bill to go through without anyone even reading it.

He has proposed emergency measures soonest - like McCain’s idea for those with pre-existing conditions, and a panel of actual health experts to do it right. I am all for the idea of having non-partisan experts (who actually know what they are talking abu0t) do the thinking on this. Call that elitist.
