...and another thing - all of this "let's take it slow, let's do it right, let's slow down" talk -

PEOPLE ARE DYING. AMERICANS ARE DYING. Reminds me of the great George Bailey line - "Wait? Wait for What"? When he is defending his dad's empathy and approach to Mr. Republican...er, Mr. Potter.

My two daughters, 24 and 28, are without health care. One is in Madagascar working on a non-profit for her MS. The other has a preexisting condition and is at poverty level. What should they wait for?

1. They should wait

until Congress can figure out how to make them contribute to insurance companies' profits. :sarcasm:

[treestar]

2. This is a political process

this involves the entirety of society.

Nothing happened at all for the last 8 years.

This argument is not helpful. It doesn't help people agree on the contours of the plan.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Hmmm.

[dionysus]

4. you think reform this big can be implemented that quickly?

the legistative process doesn't happen overnight.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. Of course not, but let's get on with it! All of this "wait" stuff is maddening.

It just shows the disconnect between the inside the beltway/I've got what I need mentality, and lack of realization of what's actually happening on the ground.

[treestar]

6. People have been waiting for the past 8 years

Or for the past 50. The British had a health care plan in the late 40s. Gee, let's be furious with Truman and the Congresses and Presidents since then, too, at least, will ya?

this is part of history. It's not a mere service, like waiting too long in a restaurant.

[dionysus]

8. i'll certainly agree with you there.

[Oregone]

7. "lets do it right"

As long as its not Medicare for All

[TheKentuckian]

9. Total "four corners" bullcrap (nt)

[denem]

10. IRAQ? "let's do it right, let's slow down" - Yeah Right.
