And maybe I didn't make it that well. I didn't mean to suggest that the debate should stop, and I for one, am glad that it is being discussed. But to get totally wrapped around the basic bill is a waste of time -- there are 5 different committees (source, "Sunday Morning" about 5 minutes ago) marking up the bill.
I don't support the basic bill as written -- but, I look at it as something that puts forth a premise that they will make changes from. Since you worked in DC, you know that nothing happens without a basic piece of paper and a "bill" is the piece of paper that Congress works with.
What I do object to is the right wing media whipping people into a frenzy of fear by papetuating rumors and conjection. That's what I see at these town hall meetings when people are screaming -- I see people that have been whipped into a frenzy of fear. When did we stop being able to have civilized debate?
To me, a responsible media reports the facts and lets people draw their own conclusions.
