I pray the progressives wake up soon and come out of their collective slumber before we help the Democrats pass a health insurance bail out.
The reforms championed two years ago, that rested largely on providing Americans with a Medicare-like plan, open to all takers, has morphed into Romney Care. While the centerpiece progressives envisioned on health care reform rested largely on federal intervention via program, the Democrats have cleary gone the less contentious route of a federal roll via regulation. The idea seems to be create a federal role, and hopefully tighten regulations later down the road, which is laughable. If you read just this short piece about the so-called "public option" from the CBO you can see this is not what progressives rallied around. Not. Even. Close. But you don't have to take my word for it, just listen to the investors.
