It seems to me that many liberal groups did not get very much of what they wanted in this bill. Single payer was taken off the plate in the very beginning and the public option was discarded shortly thereafter. In my opinion this bill demonstrates the power of the insurance industry, drug companies and other special interests which finance many of our politicians.
