Once they went down this path, they’re going all in here, and you can’t take that bet back.”

Couldn’t agree more. The public option made it into too many versions in the House to snuff out without a backlash from the fanatical left. But the realization that we could be heading towards the disaster which is the UK’s and Canada’s crumbling ‘public options’ has woken up the electorate and they will have nothing of it.

And it always comes back to how to pay for it, and that sets the target clearly on seniors and their rising ranks of health care consumers.

Our naive President let this whole mess get out of control. He did not lead and establish a baseline, he let the wing nuts in Congress run amok, and he got the result he deserves.

If anyone is serious about health care reform they will junk the current abominations from the left wing and produce something palatable to the nation. It may not save the Democrats from the voter backlash, but it sure will lessen the backlash

somewhat if they do one thing right. Otherwise, they will feel the wrath of a nation fed up with their lame excuses about their historic screw ups.
