I am willing to wait and see... |
|
what comes out of the Senate and House reconciliation of the healthcare bill. Simply because it serves no purpose - that I can tell - to keep criticizing it. It's hard to polish a turd but I will withhold judgement until I see what they can work out.
I have no desire to help the Republicans tear down this President and the Democrats any further. They are doing quite well on their own.
If I thought it would help to get a public option or a Medicare buy-in, I would continue to criticize. However, we are going to come up with much less, it appears? But I am willing to give them the time to work something out, in hopes that they can get something besides a gift to the insurance companies.

6. I'd love to see some calls to action here on DU. Some semblance of organization. |

Some interest in finding pro-active things to do together.

3. Since there's little else we can do, that seems a sensible |
|
approach. Clearly we aren't able to influence the morons in the Senate who are obstructing anything decent.

4. At least a few of us have looked behind the curtain. |

Now I don't feel quite so alone.

5. When it's passed it will be far more difficult to change |
|
Better we should all be paying close attention NOW, and bombarding Congress with calls and letters to try to sway them at this stage.

8. I'm taking a wait-and-see attitude toward waiting and seeing. |
|
But unless they go to reconciliation, nothing worthwhile CAN emerge -- LIEberman and Ben Noisome have made that abundantly clear.
