That may be true. But the Dems are truly f'ing themselves. "We changed the system, by making it worse and raising taxes on what you eat and do" DOES NOT NOR WILL EVER equal "we studied the systems overseas, looked at what works here and developed a plan that we believe will work for EVERYONE, and the best part is it will not cost anymore than you already pay, and give you the same treatment you'd get with private insurance. We maximized out of pocket to below 15% of your income, we implemented ways to make sure if you get sick, your family won't lose everything because of bills."
It's just sad that even Dems ramming it through know it is a horrendous bill, but believe they can change it once it's passed. THAT WON'T HAPPEN. They should take their time and make sure the bill they pass is THE BEST BILL POSSIBLE. They are refusing to do that for sake of "we changed it", and the vast majority of them and the president, don't even know what all is in the bill. And as for public knowledge.... that's laughable. If it were the best they could do and it was something they were truly proud of then why not allow debate, why not let the people read it, why not stand up proudly and say "WE DID THIS"?
Instead, they slink and ram rod and make excuses.... to me that's pathetic and tells me they KNOW they can do better for the people but REFUSE TO.
