a limit before you say, "No, I can no longer support this bill?"


Here' a couple of realistic scenarios:

Let's say that LIEberman changes his tune and says that, because of his "constituencies" (i.e., Insurance Companies HQ'ed in Connecticut),
he will only support the bill if the portion about Pre-Existing Condition for Children is DELETED from the legislation.

or, let's say that after further budget analysis in Conference, Congress and the CBO determines that the Medicare reforms cost too much money
and the govt can ONLY pick up 10 percent of nation's uninsured. Now, I suppose that's better than the status quo, as you say.
But it also leaves a whopping 90 percent uninsured until this topic is debated again in Congress - sometime perhaps many years from now.


Would you STILL support this bill - or would you support stopping it, re-engaging, and trying to fix
it back in the full Senate before it's signed into law by the President?
