""Let's keep it positive. Let's be the innovators. Perhaps something may appeal to both sides of the debate that was not considered before, and who knows what may come out of it.""

You simply don't get it, do you?

Eight years ago there were 47 million people in the USA who had no medical care at all, other than emergency room stabilisation, and they were pursued for the cost of that!

THE REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT ANY AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE! To them it is taxation to help losers.

Learn something about the situation, before making a fool of yourself by suggesting that they are open to ANY discussion. The shortcomings of Affordable Care are directly due to the stonewalling tactics led by the TEAparty mob. Don't take my word for it! The Republicans have openly stated their intention that Obama shall have achieved nothing during his Presidency.

They have even driven the country to the very edge of default, in an attempt to turn the clock back eight years and annihilate all that he has managed to do in the short period of having a majority.

Affordable care WILL work, if given a chance. It worked in Massachusetts under the governance of the idiot Romney.
