Pear has a history, like you, of twisting words. I'll believe this when I'm given a name of a Democrat. Actually, names of enough Democrats to pass it.
ekg's right, as usual...You do have a reading comprehension problem. Most likely the result of gold and/or kool aid poisoning, or a tight fitting tin cap and/or tri-cornered hat.
I'm all for things working right. If this works, I'll support it. Of course, if it does work, your comrades will take credit.
Well I think it will take a while for Dems to climb on board in enough numbers to pass it. I sure don't think it will happen during this administration, but ultimately even Democrats will have to climb onto some sort of variation of premium support. There just won't be any choice. I'm sure you've seen the graphs for Medicare growth for the next couple of decades. It basically absorbs the entire potential federal budget and then some. So I think at eventually there will be a tipping point when it's acceptable for politicians (as oppose to liberals in general - some of them are already supporting it) to climb aboard. Then at that point you can claim "If this works, I'll support it" and say you've always supported it and blame the Republicans for delaying it.
