About this, unfortunately:

While there remain some significant details to be ironed out, I believe a broad consensus exists for the aspects of the plan I just outlined: consumer protections for those with insurance, an exchange that allows individuals and small businesses to purchase affordable coverage, and a requirement that people who can afford insurance get insurance.

Why unfortunately? Because if Washington does just these three things, and enacts no government-run plan right now, we’ll end up with a government takeover in the long run, anyway. All too many so-called moderates and conservatives continue to say they favor these measures.
