Have you ever been in a negotiating process?
Typically one side will ask for their wish list and usually the final offer is much different from the original proposal.
I beleive there will be something that comes out labeled as Health care reform. But it will be much scaled down and much smaller than what you are talking about……………….Time will tell. In a few months you can tell me if I am wrong.
Sure have, but when both sides want the same thing it goes right on through. You assume adversarial negotiations, and that is not the case here. I think it will get derailed because Congress fears the upcoming elections, and their indirect adversaries, the electorate.
The intention to pass this legislation is what bothers me. If these guys can push so hard for something that would actively harm the country, what are they pushing for and passing that doesn’t get press coverage because it isn’t a hot-button issue (yet)?
Just because you catch a stupid person doing something stupid, doesn’t mean 1) they haven’t already completed numerous stupid acts or 2) will continue to when you are not watching. Just because you watch a stupid person failing at a difficult stupid act doesn’t mean they will not find numerous easy stupid things to succeed at.
