2. Actually, now that he's gotten his way, a successful filibuster is perhaps the best we can hope for |

We're better off with no bill than this scam. The current system can't last that much longer without massive infusions of tax money and our forced premiums so I say leave it alone and let the whole thing collapse. Then maybe Congress will have to step in and extend Medicare to all.

9. Quite possible. They ought to eject him and negotiate with Snowe for the sixtieth vote. |

He is not to be trusted, his terms are not likely to be more favorable than hers, and they can always call it "bipartisan" then...
Edit: Presuming they can't/won't just get rid of the filibuster.
