My only real issue was your assertion that the insurance companies are supportive of reform. They’re not, unless it is a watered down, do nothing reform that doesn’t include a public option. The kind of reform will do more damage than good for all concerned including democrats and republicans politically, taxpayers, the uninsured, the under-insured and health care providers. (For profit hospitals will probably make out just fine.) Everyone except for insurance companies and big pharma.

SK: Like I said, I may well be wrong on Big Insurance (and having worked for Big Insurance in a prior life, I can well imagine that they aren’t for this).
However, I’m more intrigued by the Dem’s attitude about this whole situation, especially the town hall meetings. Listening to Pelosi, you’d think these meetings were more reminiscent of Germany in the early 1930s, with brownshirts and Communists clashing in the streets.
I don’t think Obama has done an effective job of selling health care reform to the American people (hence the contentious town hall meetings), and I think Congress has butched the legislation.
