Incidentally, Bolt, if you're up to date on your news, you'd be aware that Nancy Pelosi was up to her old threats once again. She's the one who said that the insurers and pharma companies and others have “much more” that “they can do” in the area of being looted and subjected to cost-shifting and to price controls, etc.. Now with the public option that's in danger currently, she is showing her crazier lib Dem persona once more and saying that the insurers should be gladly willing to accept a public option now, because otherwise they're going to face a much tougher-on-them public option later.

(As if this isn't already being anticipated and planned for by Pelosi and her crowd…)

“Don't worry, I'll wait.”

They're correct about the sloppiness of cram-downs on providers and looting Medicare to pretend that they're paying for the current new expansion by the Dems. That they rush to defend Medicare itself would be a hollow gesture, obviously. (Addressing intelligent people's concerns about replacing the insurers with government people with a risk of sinister care denial or rationing is not the same thing.)

DLS, I'm waiting for you to denounce Republicans for their support of Medicare. Don't worry, I'll wait.

Rather than demolish any more cheap shots attempted in defense of the health care effort, in denial of history, I'll just note that the bankers who may be getting involved are, interestingly, doing it during a time of expansion and revision managed by the same Dems who have revived “death panel” fears.
