I hope you're wrong. That will probably kill it--the Republican plan.

The majority of Americans, pick your poll, want something done (and want a public option).

I hope they pull together the strands, pass it without Republicans if that's how they want it, and get it signed, soon.

We just can't afford, economically, to allow this to continue year after year, decade after decade, costs ever rising.

Perhaps now that both the AARP and AMA are on board, things will start to move.
