Health reform is one of the toughest things to do in the US. A two bill solution seems to be the answer.
Yes. The congress should use two bills to make health reform happen.
One bill should include the policy changes that Obama and his people say make the current bill worth salvaging-- elimination of pre-existing illness clauses, of different rates for men or women, ending recision-- those kinds of changes should easily pass without fillibuster.
Since this is the kind of legislation that WILL pass reconciliation, only 51 votes would be required to pass it.
While they are at it, they can include funding for feasibility studies for single payer at the state level, and elimination of the anti-trust exemption for health insurers.
