Reply #88: if you asked many senators [View All]

[CTLawGuy]

i.e. Tom Harkin, Bernie Sanders, etc. they would say they want to improve the bill. There is a lot of room to improve the bill--if you ask almost ANY dem senator, they would agree with that. over 50 wanted the PO, for example.

And so what if SS hasn't been amended in 27 years? What relevance does that have? It was amended many times since enactment to improve it. You can't deny that, no matter how much it torpedoes your argument that nothing ever gets improved. And it doesn't follow that, because the last amendment to SS was 27 years ago, HCR won't be amended for 27 years. That makes no sense.

Reconciliation has been taken off the table for THIS particular bill. All bets are off for future changes to health care.

If you really want to do nothing about health care for another 27 years, kill this bill...
