So, can Democrats have a reasonable degree of cohesion in working with Republicans on healthcare reform (please don’t call it national healthcare)?
That’s ignoring the real question of what Obama will do when his “down payment” on healthcare proves to be exactly that, and he’s asked to pay up on…
To use a subprime lending analogy…
The balloon note to really do national heathcare.
Anyway, mandates, or not? What type of mandates? Government-run insurance as an option?
Meanwhile, will the GOP offer anything, or just run the clock?
In the House, especially, I’d lean toward the latter.
As for my other rhetorical questions, I am interested in what Obama will propose on the “balloon note” in, say, summer 2012, during campaign season.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
