Ron Wyden making the rounds this morning promoting his "moderate" plan

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

I'm not happy with this end run around the Pres and other Democrats. His plan seemed to be all about making private insurance more affordable with a tax credit or something. He didn't even mention a public option that I heard.

Number one - Republicans aren't going to sign on to ANYTHING anyone comes up with and they have no plan themselves. Their stated objective is to bring down healthcare reform in order to bring down the President. There's no one to appeal TO for a "moderate" or "bi-partisan" plan - except of course the health insurers themselves.
