1. Except that has already been taken off the table.

Perhaps KO should have listened to Sen.Schumer totally dismiss that idea this week.The PO being considered has nothing like that in any provision. KO is exactly right, but it isn't happening.

2. He was talking about framing.

His exact words.

8. I KNOW what he was talking about but if we called it that NOW, it would be a lie

If we had "framed" it like that in the beginning, we would have had a better shot at a decent PO.

9. Does not matter if it is not correct as long as it sells reform ...

3. Medicare for "ANYONE"

The distinction Is huge.

4. I touched on this a while back.

I have far too much time on my hands. ;)

5. And it's absolutely true, that's all it is, medicare for everyone.

But, the GOP doesn't want it seen that way - it has become the icon for government takeover.

7. The GOP don't need Medicare

they can afford to pay upfront - can't they?
