Regarding the extensive list of names on the "top secret, Soviet-Style health reform task force" : there is no analogy here. These people are not creating policy, they are _drafting a plan_ . Did you get that? A PLAN. One that will be submitted to Congress and debated ad nauseum for the rest of the year, and may or may not be passed in any or all of it's original state. There is a big difference. All the conservatives and special interests will get to bitch and whine their hearts out when the plan is actually presented (and don't believe they won't). They don't NEED to be able to do it ahead of time. Any aspect of any health care reform will piss off some people. The Clinton Administration is just attempting to present it all at once so that most people will see (they hope) that they agree with MOST of the plan, and that they can accept the parts they don't like on that basis. Now, the bulk of the plan _doesn't_ appeal to MOST of the people, then the plan won't get passed. So what is the problem? kate
