Of course amendments will be made. I've never said differently. I"m not talking this week, I'm talking in the future. This is just the start of massive reform of a currently completely unregulated private system that consists of 1/6 of our economy. It's not gonna be perfect from the get go.
And my two examples, Medicare and Civil Rights, were also very important legislation that made fundamental important changes, of course they, too, had many amendments down the years. Medicare has had quite a few, and the initial legislation for both Medicare and Civil Rights was very basic and simple. So that's why I used those two examples. They are very similar to health reform.
I've never "denied" that health reform would be immune from future amendments 1, 5, 20 years from now, so I don't know why you would say, "at least you admit it now"
