I get it, now.

I finally understand why support is falling for the health care reform as proposed. It's because you guys managed to elect the most cowardly bunch of idiots in the history of politics to do it for you. And it's not your fault - because the party that should have been doing it, not only didn't do it, but probably messed it up so badly that no one else will ever get the chance to do it right.

They should have gone for single-payer from the outset and then SETTLED for a robust public option. Now? Totally, completely fucked.

How can this possibly be the wrong reform at this time? ANY reform is better than what's in place, or rather what isn't. And the current proposed reform is a hell of a lot better than it could be. Perfect? No. Good? Yes. Actually, it is. Or at least, it was until people started pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I don't mean health care reform is the wrong reform...just that the plan the President wants is the wrong way to go about it, IMO. There's a lot of reform that could happen between where we are and where he wants to be.
