We have to keep in mind that many Democrats would like to seek health 
care remain an issue for 2012... that is to be able to punish the 
Republicans for their desire to "kill Medicare".  They are better served 
to keep the issue unresolved than they are to have a working solution.

The unfortunate aspect is that there is not penalty for such a cynical 
strategy until Greens become strong enough to be a viable alternative.
