It appears Democrats still don’t understand what Blue Dogs and Republicans are telling them about healthcare. Senator Baucus’ alternative healthcare proposal, which is 223 pages long, is dangerously not written as a bill. It reads like a design to destroy private insurance companies through new regulations that would drive up costs and force people onto Medicaid, which is not officially a public option. Costs would be shared by state governments and new fees to be exacted from the medical industry, which, incidentally, is too big to fail.
