I don't see how my actions with regard to Wyden Bennett have effected it one way or another. I also don't see why one would think that Wyden Bennet would have more of a chance of succeeding than the HR 3200. I have not actually registered any opinion of Wyden Bennett myself, but I don't really see any kind of broad support among the Democratic base for that bill. I do see a broad support for the HR 3200.

My first choice is probably single payer, but I am interested in a bill that will have a lot of support among the base that at least breaks some of the stranglehold the insurance industry has on the delivery of health care and that has a chance of passing. Wyden-Bennett does not seem to be that bill.

Personally, I don't see the chances of a public option passing being as bleak as described above.
