Signaling a fading chance for compromise, a leading Republican negotiator on health care legislation on Saturday criticized Democratic legislative proposals as budget-busters that would reroute Medicare spending and restrict medical choices.

The criticism from Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo., echoed that of many opponents of the Democratic plans under consideration in Congress. But Enzi's judgment was especially noteworthy because he is one of only three Republicans who have been willing to consider a bipartisan bill in the Senate.

What disturbes me about reading this is that there is a Senator from the great state of Wyoming even considering the thought of a compromise with Rats on this issue.

He should not be ANY part of a socalled compromise effort.

The repubs need to be stedfast on insisting that any reform in health care include the Fed & State gov’ts removing themselves from anything to do with providing health insurance and raining in State health commission’s rules about what needs to be part of medical insurance plans offered in their state.

No Compromise. It needs to be euthanized.

Just possibly, I have better things to do than to lie or misrepresent to FReepers. Consult the Sovereign Society for all sorts of literature on the subject.

Yes, they are a VERY commercial group. OTOH, their information has, in my experience, proven to be precise.

And, no, I am not in any way affiliated with them, except for reading their site from time to time.
