Obama .... doesn't really have a plan - he hasn't proposed anything more than a mission statement or outline. What we have are a cavalcade of competing plans circulating around Congress that make it difficult to even isolate just what the hell who is talking about what when they don't even use the same terms to describe the same thing.
The plan the CBO analyzed, frankly, isn't the plan most progressives were thinking of when they voted the Democrats in -- because it basically guts most everything that would actually reduce costs. The Democrats are pwnzored by the status quo goblins -- aka the big money machines currently pouring millions of dollars per day to derail any substantial changes to the status quo.
