How about passing a massive, complex bill that's designed to fail?

The preliminary “scoring” of the new Senate Finance Committee health-reform bill was delivered by the Congressional Budget Office yesterday. It indicates that by 2019 the “reform” will still leave some 25 million people in America uninsured! That’s 9% of the projected population. In his speech to the Congress, President Obama said that there are currently 30 million uninsured, about 10% of today’s population. That means that this enormous and complex “reform” bill will barely move the needle on the problem of the uninsured poor. I will write to you separately about the overall cost of the bill and the proposed financing schemes, but the intent of this message is to point out that the bill is almost a complete failure in terms of its stated objectives. Do you plan to vote for a health-care reform bill even if it is designed to fail?
