16. Passing a bill with the funfamentally flawed FOUNDATION of mandated CORPORATE 3rd party insurance is


.....not something that can be fixed by being "amended" down the line.

It would have to be essentially repealed, and a diametrically opposite approach adopted, which would then be much more difficult because of this bill.

Giving Liebermann & Nelson a veto, and forcing the House to abandon the will of the majority of Americans is a prescription for electoral defeat, disregarding the morality of it.

A mandatory private insurance bill is worse for Americans, and a disaster for the Democratic Party.

We can survive not passing a bill.

But passing a BAD bill, as this one is, will provide the transient euphoria of a "W", but will destroy us.
