1. I'd settle for good..
... this bill is not even good. To be good, it would have to have a public option to force some actual competition in the health insurance business.

And it would have to allow reimportation or price negotiation with big Pharma. The fact that we don't even have that is telling. There is simply NO SANE JUSTIFICATION for forcing Americans to pay more for the same drugs the rest of the world gets for a fraction of what we pay.

2. Luckily, those opposed to the bill use only logic and objective criticism.
:sarcasm:

5. I truly have always hated that saying, "the enemy of the good" crap...
what we have now is, "good is the enemy of the mild".
