Howard Dean: "We've gotten to the stage where passing any bill is a victory... this is a bigger bailout for the insurance industry than AIG"

"This is an insurance company's dream, this bill." - Howard Dean, Dec 16, 09 on GMA. Dean repeats my concern that we're still screwed in the House-Senate conference, since the same four Democratic Senators are going to threaten to filibuster any conference report that is strengthened by the House bill. We are hostage to mediocrity. It's business as usual in this town, brought to you by the candidate who promised change.
