There has ALWAYS been middle ground on health-care reform but the fact is that even the moderate democrats were locked out of the crafting of the bill.

Oh and let us not forget that up until Brown was elected the democrats COMPLETELY controlled the legislative process and no amount of GoP Obstruction meant a damn thing. It was other democrats blocking the bill.

I think moderate Democrats had alot of say. Hence there being so much "assistance" for the private insurers, etc. You can't possibly put that on the progressives, especially as it has taken away money from the public option.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
