4. No. Melitsos is backing the health care bill as it is,
Dennis isn't. I actually have more sympathy with Dennis on this. If there is a public option, medicare for all, it will come because the people want it, not because the white house fights for it.

I understand both sides of the debate; but a lot of those people who will die if the health bill doesn't pass will not be helped by the bill. It won't cover everyone, and that just means that there will be people who fall through the cracks. A mandate is not a particularly fine idea either, except for the insurance companies.

They are going to continue to bleed America white unless they have stronger sanctions imposed on them than the senate bill manages.
