Can you be so oblivious to the fact that if we keep cutting deals in this manner, this country is heading for friggin' fiscal oblivion?

One key difference is that the House bill would go further in reforming Medicare, forcing traditional Medicare to compete directly against the private plans starting in 2010.

Means Testing...Private Sector Competition....As I was saying....

Yeah, and when 2010 rolls around, the seniors will be screaming at Congress to forgo privatization, and Congress will listen. Best to not even create this entitlement in the first place.
