Ed Rendel is on the tube explaining the Brown victory in Mass by saying that the Dems didn't do a good enough job explaining the healthcare bill to the American people and why it was a good thing and that they would fix a system that everybody says is broken.
Sorry, Fast Eddy - the American people aren't stupid like you folks seem to think. They read the bill(s) (unlike most of the lawmakers) and saw that it was not a good thing - premiums would go up, taxes would go up (unless you're a Union member in Nebraska), quality of care would go down (you can't cut $500 billion from Medicare at the same time you have a massive infusion of participants from the baby boomers). 55% of the American people don't want this monstrosity. 85% of the American people are happy with their health insurance. The healthcare system may need some tweaks and fixes, but it definitely ain't broken. Come up with the tweaks and fixes - malpractice tort reform, insurance purchase across state lines, reasonable pricing for coverage of pre-existing conditions would be a start.
This turkey needs to have a fork stuck in it and tossed in the trash.
