As details of the new “compromise” leak out, the reactions are interesting. Bernie Sanders says that a deal with a Medicare buy-in “may be stronger than the very weak public options” in the House and Senate bills, Howard Dean calls it “real reform”, Markos Moulitsas says the Obama administration is “happy to declare victory with a mandate that enriches insurance companies, yet creates little incentive to control costs or change the very business practices that have screwed so many people” and Jane Hamsher, in a post entitled “Thanks, Blanche Lincoln!”, calls the whole process “a hideous, rudderless mess”. God bless you Jane – mab
UPDATE: Turns out Medicare buy-in might in reality be a shit sandwich
