Max Baucus finally gave the public a glimpse of his health care plan.

Families who fail to get health insurance could be fined up to $3,800 under a health care reform plan proposed by a top Senate negotiator.

Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee is leading talks among the "Gang of Six" senators to hammer out a bipartisan compromise, offered what he described on Tuesday as a "framework" and not a "final product."

But the detailed proposal comes just days ahead of a self-imposed Sept. 15 deadline for such a deal. Baucus is pushing his committee members hard to hammer out a bill, and those details come as strong suggestions.

Who gives this guy ideas, Mitt Romney?

All Max had to do was consult with Hillary Clinton. Just recall that her plan went down in flames because it was full of ways to punish doctors for treating patients.

Max' plan is full of ideas of how to punish patients!

These people are into punishment ~ they love to inflict pain on others. There's a name for their pathology.

Funny, Baucus’ plan isn’t posted on the Finance Committee website, nor is it on his personal office website. Hmmmm. An invisible trial balloon.

That’s gonna leave a mark.
