“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

The rundown of today’s health care news is – once again – centered on Connecticut.  Sen. Joe Lieberman has decided (again) that he is unable to support the Democratic compromise, and he (again) represents a crucial 60th vote in passing reform.

Starting to sound like a broken record?  Yeah, to me too.  After saying publicly a few days ago that a buy-in option for people in the 55-65 year old range could be a good compromise, Lieberman switched courses on yesterday’s Sunday show appearance, and then had this to say:

“It has some of the same infirmities that the public option did,” Lieberman said. “It will add taxpayer costs. It will add to the deficit. It’s unnecessary. The basic bill, which has a lot of good things in it, provides a generous new system of subsidies for people between ages 55 and 65, and choice and competition.”
