would assume since the majority of americans were happy with their health insurance, why mess it up? the dems don't want to make it better, they just want another huge government program which does not equal "now healthcare is excellent", it equals another broke, inefficient government program which the country cannot afford. need to do what is best for americans and solving a problem for a few will mess it up for the rest. if the dems wanted to do something, take care of the few, thought medicaid was designed for that and leave the rest alone, don't force everyone to do what they think is best. almost everything in washington is about controlling the money and increasing voting bases by giving stuff away to them about huge government vs controlled smaller government. the prob is most legislators in washington want, need, big government so they have power, money, etc. and the only way, it seems, that our out of control spending will stop is if we go down the tubes which nobody wants but may happen.
in addition, "heads planted in the sand"?? the truth is the people did not want this, never have, the democrat party has wanted it and if you think it is because they wanted improved healthcare, you have your head in the sand. this is all about bigger government, period.
