Those 39 moderates can sure be proud can't they? |

I mean they can tell their constituents without health insurance that it just wasn't good enough and possibly too soon.
Meanwhile, I haven't heard of any giving up their FEHB until something better comes along.

"Moderate Democrat" means that they see a good idea and need it watered down or neutered before voting for it. :eyes:

The Republicans are a lockstep party and look what a mess they are.
