The Prez will address Congress tonight and what will he say and what will they, being Dems, do?  Well single payer is DOA…public option looks like it is in big trouble….the limited life support that has been offered to the plan is doing little good.  But there is a bright spot….well if you like bright spots…..the “Gang of Six” in the Senate is working on a bi-partisan approach.

There has been many, many health reform offerings but the one that has caught my attention is the one offered up by Sen. Baucus.  His proposal has little to do with covering all Americas but rather to offer up insurance reform not health reform.

Of all the points in his miserable plan there is one that is disturbing……it will be mandated they people will have insurance or pay a fine…….$750/yr for individuals and $1500/yr per family if there is no insurance.  Cool, right?  But now ask yourself about the unemployed….do they have to be covered or pay a fine?  Do they have to pay the fine at the expense of food and shelter?

The Baucus plan is nothing more than allowing the insurance companies, et al run amok even more so than now….

Will the Prez embrace this wad of crap in the name of a victory on health care?  Sad to say, it is beginning to smell like a cop out of the Dems in the name of success on reform, whether it is success or not.
