Well, there's a pretty good argument that says the system needs to be re-engineered rather than re-tooled. I don't know if you can bring tens of millions of new people into a dysfunctional system and expect some potentially modest (or longer term) cost savings to offset.

What's interesting in all of this, is that the plan most liked by the Whitehouse hasn't even been put out for public consumption. All this bickering is about the progressive plan from the House which doesn't stand a chance of moving forward as is.
