WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Leading Democrats on Sunday said they expect Congress to pass a major healthcare reform backed by President Barack Obama, but supporters may have to accept legislation that falls short on some issues.

The U.S. Senate on Monday is set to begin debate on the sweeping overhaul of the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare system amid growing concerns about the cost of the legislation that aims to provide medical coverage for millions of the uninsured.

"We want to cover the uninsured, yes, but we don't want to do it in a way that's going to drive up the costs for folks who currently have it," said Senator Evan Bayh, one of a number of centrist Democrats whose support will be crucial to pass the overhaul in the face of solid Republican opposition.

In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Bayh said he would push to make sure the legislation is cost effective but acknowledged that not every senator will get what he wants.

"I don't think we can afford to do nothing with costs going up 10, 15 percent a year," Bayh said. "My objective is to try and make that alternative of doing something as positive as we possibly can, realizing that -- at the end of the day it may be just imperfect."

Howard Dean, a physician and former governor from Vermont who has been critical of some of his fellow Democrats who do not back a public health insurance option, predicted on the same news show that Obama would succeed on healthcare reform.

"We're going to pass a decent health care bill that really is going to start reform," Dean said.

Trump is bailing out farmers, because of a trade war he created, with $12,000,000,000 and your fine with that because in your mind when it's your guy doing it it's okay.

So.... We had healthcare that was working and.... They fucked it up.

More Americans than ever before were covered with real health insurance and now.... I guess it's not important.

↑↑↑ Truth

Maybe you liked it; personally, I like not being forced to buy something I don't want and won't use.

You keep saying Trump did nothing about ACA, but he got rid of the most important issue, IMO. As long as I am no longer penalized for not having insurance, that is ALL I care about.

"real health insurance" = $600 per person a month and $7500 deductible. That's called catastrophic insurance.. The biggest fraud ever perpetrated on a populace. Right up there with "Russia collusion"

Obamacare was a step in the right direction, but the "Trumpets" totally fucked it up....Somebody explain to me why there is free (paid from our taxes and in some cases a small surcharge):

Fire protection
Police protection
Border protection
Libraries
Basic schools
Roads, highways and bridges
National parks......maybe add some more services...

See Blade, we can agree. I keep saying, I am not left or right but logically driven pragmatic.
