Sullivan's analysis was based on a draft, and it is unknown whether that draft passed without change. His analysis could be on old material, no longer relevant. And even if it did pass without major rewrite, Sullivan's interpretation is open to error, which he admits, and he he has an admitted, and not unwarranted bias against anything less than single payer. Not a problem, just a fact that needs to be weighed.

Dr Dean supports the HELP bill, and I am confident Dean is not in the pocket of the Insurance companies. He is a seasoned politician, so he is familiar with legislative language, and he is a doctor, so he is familiar with insurance companies, terminology, and processes.

I'll trust Dean. Thank you.
