What do you guys think about the whole Healthcare debate?

[Redalgo]

I more or less agree with Χahar, and am very disappointed that time was not set aside to weigh the pros and cons of a reform package seeking to emulate, or at least incorporate lessons to be learned from how the healthcare systems of other Western states are structured. Setting aside the way the Democrats quickly brushed single-payer off of the table, France appears to have an excellent arrangement and Germany utilizes another that is arguably much more compatible with mainstream cultural values in the States. The Blue Dogs were not herded well, and even if they had been the result would still have been disappointing, i.e. incremental progress is incremental.
