all democratic votes, i should add. i think it was better in its early phases on the energy and commerce committee, where i served on the health subcommittee, when it was bipartisan, and maybe in hindsight, it would have been better to put it in pieces, but i don't think this experiment is over. the rollout has been a mess. it is hopefully better today. but will matter is in six months or whatever the right time frame is, will there be enough people across the spectrum from sick to healthy in the exchanges to create a comparative market so the price of health care is affordable to those who have very little or no money, and is -- goes at least -- stays about steady to other -- >> that's a very open question at this point, about whether it's going to work the way you're suggesting. >> i agree it's an open question, but i'm betting it will work. i remember the big fights about single-payer which i opposed and about the public option, which was a government plan to compete with private plans. we sort of kind of have that.
