I hate to see dems fighting over this because our compassion is our strength, and we all want to see all Americans with access to safe, affordable health care. Krugman and Hillary are right that incremental change and realistic goals should be our platform. Offering pie in the sky may fire up Bernie's base, but it would strengthen the republicans in the general election: they would successfully haul out rationing, long wait times, higher taxes, and grandma losing her medicare.

PBO didn't leave the insurance companies in the mix because they "bought" him off but because they were a necessary part of an orderly transition.
