But I don’t think Democrats and Obama can afford an “all or nothing” mentality.  They’ll have to accept the tweaking of the system, which should include the elimination of insurance companies screening out people with pre-existing conditions.  And this will be a good thing.

So more people will get insurance, but will premiums be lower? Probably not.  The government will subsidize people who can’t afford the premiums and insurance companies will end up with lots of taxpayer dollars.

There is the off chance that Obama and them Dems will wake up and start fighting fire with fire, but they can’t seem to do that.
