      <![CDATA[Jeff I hear what you're saying about the repubs blocking reform at all costs, but you can not exonerate the dems that allowed the industries that stood to loose the most to write up the drafts for this legislation. It's like hiring the fox to guard the hen house.

      <![CDATA[That's about it Zip. I would love to see one, just one senator come forward and state that he was offered X amount in campaign contributions (or whatever the moniker they use today is) to "just listen to our position" from the (insert your favorite industry here) industry and that he turned them down.

      <![CDATA[I will agree that the secret meetings were quite simply a load of bollocks, but I still stand by my statement that the real culprits here are all of the politicians, democrat and republican, taking the bribes from the big players and not attempting to fix the system, but instead pandering to the very industries and special interest groups that have brought us to the place we are today.

      <![CDATA[You got one key part wrong - it was precisely because the Democratic majority in Congress was NOT being bipartisan in their development of the health care legislation is why it will fail. What could be more partisan than abandoning the traditional House-Senate Conference process for the secret, Democrat-only, closed door reconciliation of the House and Senate bills?

      <![CDATA[It's not that the Dems were playing bipartisan politics, it's that ALL of the politicians involved listened to Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and Big Health care corps and happily took the cash from them instead of listening to the will of the people. Again the corporations have won and the American people have lost.
