Thema: Healthcare plan unveiled

The Democrats just unveiled their healthcare plan:

Yahoo news report

It calls for a price tag of $856 billion. I don't see how they will suceed getting this passed through Congress or the Senate.

It's Senator Max Baucus version, it's not set in stone. From what the press are reporting on it. .. too much compromise. Ya can't please all the people all the time.

(V): Agreed. And the "compromise" failed to get the 3 Republicans "negotiators" on board. Democrats will have to do this reform on their own. Hopefully, they will come up w/ something significantly better than the Baucus Bill, which is the insurance companies dream. And public option is still on the table through other bills.
