You know what I'm not likely to come up with a good side by side comparison of Wyden-Bennett to HR 3200. It's like comparing a tiny ball of plutonium to a beach ball that has gone flat. As I've said, it now looks like they are sewing new appendages onto Frankenstein, or gluing solar panels on top of an eighties Chrysler. As the sausage making goes on, the insurers and providers and all the profiteers are going to say go ahead and throw in all sorts of good stuff for consumers, they'll like it and we'll get more money. That's probably what will get enacted. Insurer mandates and employer mandates. Not a good public option; not a dismantling of the employer-run perversity.

We'll see. If you want me to keep going on why Wyden-Bennett is change we can believe in I'll sure do that.
