I keep seeing comments about the health care bill that say basically, “We all knew it wasn’t great and would need a bunch of work once it was passed. Stop whining about the problems we knew were there!”

But what kind of sense does it make to pass a new bill full of problems that need to be fixed? Why not fix them before passage? It’s like paying full price for a broken boat, then trying to fix it on the water (with a toy hammer and scotch tape).
