If Congress has to start over, fine. There are plenty of good options for retaining the health care law's best features while also expanding care to people who aren't insured. Unlike the current law, those proposals are carefully tailored — and don't put taxpayers at such great risk

Even should Congress "start over" it would be as big a boondoggle as this. They can't do anything right in regard to the economy so they should keep their polluted hands off of it. Let the markets decide.

Many in Congress were trying to take a common sense approach. Tort reform was a big cost inflater, but the Dims wanted nothing to do with it. The Repubs usually (at least some of them) try to take focused actions that keep our freedoms intact, but the Dims always go for the whole package where Uncle Sugar makes us wards of the government.
