I have a few republicans here (FR and MD) who hate me for being right. I predicted that Obama would win when they said he couldnt. Then I predicted the voters would turn on democrats and in spite of super-majority they would hit gridlock because of big tent diversity and public opinion.

They were so mad at me “No, you are wrong , democrats will pass anything Obama wants” they told me over and over.

I am glad that your prediction on the health care issue is on the positive side and for our country benefit :)

This may sound nutty but to some extent on this - I place my faith in insurance companies. They survived during the Depression when banks failed. They are big, powerful and the are capitalists. A lot of them like Aetna in Joe Liberman’s state are big in health insurance.

If people think they are just going to roll over and die under a public option then you don’t know insurance companies.

I also think the Dems are not gonna screw with doctors. They are making FAR too many enemies with this bill.
