WE'VE HEARD OF LOWERING THE BAR...:

Medical premiums could still be a 'heavy lift' (RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, 10/02/09, Associated Press)

Many middle-class Americans would still struggle to pay for health insurance despite efforts by President Barack Obama and Democrats to make coverage more affordable. [...]

"For some people it's going to be a heavy lift," said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del. "We're doing our best to make sure it's not an impossible lift."

...but are Democrats really imploding their party just to achieve a goal of not making it impossible to have health insurance when they're done messing with a system most of is are satisfied with?
