Many people do not know that the things they like are actually in the package. I doubt that the people would believe that they have given a mandate to eliminate protection for preexisting conditions, coverage for college age and slightly older offspring; alternative choices for people in small groups seeking health care, and making insurers actually use premiums to pay for medical care.

Moreover, the vagaries of the pledge don't create much of a mandate under which to operate.

Question - assuming the senate retains a majority of Democrats - is there a mandate there to move forward with the GOP agenda?

The GOP has an agenda? Who knew.

I thought there was only Dr. No and Agent Orange.
