Republican in ‘Gang of Six’ wants health care reform in ‘smaller parts’ instead of one bill.


Earlier this month, Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY), the most conservative member of the “Gang of Six” working on a compromise health care bill in the Senate Finance Committee, argued against a Sept. 15 deadline for the bill by saying that he was “committed to getting health care reform right, not finishing a bill by some arbitrary date.” “We’re making progress, but we still have several significant, outstanding items to work on,” said Enzi. But, as Huffington Post’s Sam Stein points out, Enzi indicated to a local crowd yesterday that he disagrees with the entire approach the Finance Committee is taking:



Enzi also said that he supported Sen. Kent Conrad’s (D-ND) co-op idea. “Small business health plans are one way of increasing choices,” said Enzi. “Co-ops will increase choice.”

What htey want is to break this bill up into little pieces that are much easier to kill with lower repercussions for doing so.

:wtf:

You still want to work with these bozos?

Someone has to take the ball away from this committee.

Medicare for all. It's just too simple for the Corporatists to grasp all at once.

Conrad admitted they do not cut costs.

anything that Obama wants to do.
