hey willa, while you're here do you think schumer claiming he wanted to compromise on copper plans for ppaca and expanded waiver programs was a good idea or good political theater? a bunch of people in uspol are very strongly insisting that it was a :masterstroke: that will convince mccain to vote against repealing ppaca...

Condiv posted:hey willa, while you're here do you think schumer claiming he wanted to compromise on copper plans for ppaca and expanded waiver programs was a good idea or good political theater? of course they are. this is the same bunch that claimed obama + congressional dems agreeing to slash social security & medicare in 2011 was a fakeout bc the gop refused it, ignoring that gene sperling was dead-set on cutting both + also that obama was totally on board with the pete peterson school of austerity and that he handpicked simpson & bowles to lead his catfood commission. (Obama also wanted an amendment-less up-or-down vote on the commission's proposals, although the commission couldn't get an agreement to pass even its own austerity-hawk-filled members.) but yeah: congressional dems have made noises before about state waivers and copper plans out of their desperation to resuscitate the individual-insurance market.

*sanders steps out to a stadium of twenty thousand. rapturous applause greets him as he captures the podium* We MUST guarantee the continuation of the obamacare individual insurance markets by guaranteeing modest subsidies for copper plans! *crowd cheers* We MUST guarantee a healthy insurance pool for insurers by raising the amount of the individual mandate! *crowd hoots and hollers* We MUST consolidate our federal data centers! *crowd goes ballistic*
