We'll get (another) chance to see if bumper sticker politics win the day.   The party in power virtually always loses seats in off-year elections, so Democrats will lose seats in the fall. How many?    Bumper sticker politics this time, of course will include: "death panels" ,"bankrupting our grandchildren" and "a bureaucrat coming between you and your doctor". How many will accept these as the last word?   Who knows?

Some people ( e.g. .Medicare Advantage recipients--our own Doug R?) will lose out. It looks like a lot more will gain. Will they realize this?
