- McCain said “we want to negotiate and we want to get something done, but the majority of American people say we want you to start over.”
Of course “the American people” McCain’s referring to are saying this because they’re parroting almost everything the GOP’s been telling them to think and say. We agree the bill requires substantial point-by-point review and potential a good amount of overhaul, but calling this a need to “start over” is a ridiculous, time consuming dive into the pool of semantics and marketing rather than a consensual drive toward a mutually acceptable end product.
Get Big Pharma capped, tort reform integrated, preventive care required and covered, and check fraud. Done.
