He thinks the bill sucks and doesn't want it. It's a giveaway to the insurance companies and it won't even take effect for 4 years. Who knows what kinds of loopholes the insurance companies will learn to exploit in that time.
Unfortunately he caved in yesterday. The people are going to lose on this one.

I'm with Dennis on this, and it's a shame that a single payer or public option bill is not on the table anymore, but as the resistance to the current bill has been fucking insane, imagine how it would be if it was more pro-government, and less free market?
He finally accepted that something is better than nothing at all. As I've already stated numerous times: the insurance companies have spent over $400,000,000 to kill this bill, so you have to believe it will provide some checks and balances for us, that are not currently there. It is basically a vote for some reform, as opposed to simply accepting the status quo.
