8:26 - Now addressing the fears of radical change and shift - radical left or right would cause that (though I feel the right's "plan" would just result in way more without healthcare)... We are only 20% away from some kind of compromise. Our leaders need to get it together!

8:35 - I'm nervous about the requirement to carry health insurance...unless it is really really affordable, there are some people who just can't afford it. He just got a laugh when he said there are still difference to iron out - and I don't think he meant to.
8:45 - Family emergency. Missed a few minutes of speech.
8:46 - Hmmm. I don't know how this is going to happen without adding "one dime to the deficit."
8:52 - Wow, the malpractice insurance reform point really got people riled up.

9:02 - I hope he's not getting too touchy feely. I think people want facts, as many as possible.
9:03 - And it's over. Let's see what happens.
