This is probably my biggest pet peeve on the issue. What makes anyone here think that throwing away the bill and starting over from scratch is going to work? The Late Sen. Kennedy was the creator of the Medicare For All bill, many years ago. Why didn't he push this bill through the HELP Committee? Do you think we'll gain *more* votes if we do start over? I'd really seriously like to hear how that's going to happen. But it isn't.

If you seriously think that we are going to get more votes if we start over, prove it.

Otherwise, starting over is effectively killing all reform. Period.

You shut this process down now and not a single Democrat will pick it back up for decades. If you don't agree, explain how that won't happen please. Otherwise, what you really are saying is that you want no reform at all.

Can we please dispense of this nonsensical stance and work with what passed the House? Does the House Bill have issues? Yes, most notably the Stupak Amendment. This needs to be removed. What else can be done to make it better working with the Senate?

Provide a constructive argument instead of destructive one and you'll be taken much more seriously by your members of Congress.
