I would love to see both parties come together in a bipartisan effort to modify those parts of Obamacare that are unsustainable, and to eliminate those parts that cause the unsustainability in the first place.  But I won't hold my breath, and in this current environment there is plenty of blame on both sides.

But one aspect of the argument against both the house and senate bills is, if not totally false, then very misleading.  These proposals do not "kick" 23 million off the insured rolls.  It is estimated that at least 75 percent of that number are those who would voluntarily forego coverage because of the elimination of the individual mandate.  How is one "kicked" off when their choice to not participate is voluntary?
