From the distance, it’s a great theater act.

There are thirty-five companies in America that sell health insurance...so figure each one has a different view or thought on how this could or could not work.

Then you have fifty insurance commissioners across the nation, and each of them have a view of how it would or wouldn’t work.

Then you have a hundred senators and 435 Congressmen, who each have a view.

Toss in five thousand lobbyists....tied to various functions and groups.

Figure at least thirty WH insiders who each have a view.

Then you figure at least five hundred journalists or wannabe journalists, each with a different view.

I would say that we have a mighty fine US version of Les Miserables. Lots of songs, merry banter, woeful words, sorrow, charm, wit, deceit, lost morals, fleeting moments, gimmick solutions, cleverness at a marginal level, and bit of political intrigue.

Yeah, Les Miserables....just bigger, bolder, and more audience members than you can imagine.
