The "middle ground" here is a True Public Option, as Howard Dean has said.
That allows the people to choose. It also allows the insurance corporations to clean up their act if they want to stay in this business. If they don't do so, they cut their own damn throats.
And they know goddamn well that they won't be able to hold back the greed and do what's necessary, which is why they ordered the DICK Arm(e)y to stir up the shit and their pocket cowards like Baucus & Conrad to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.
Single payer is what's best for the country. There's no logical reason we shouldn't go there immediately, especially since that was Harry Truman's intention 60 fucking years ago. But since the greedy douchebag corporatists have so much influence in Congress and the media, the compromise of the Public Option may be necessary.
But anything LESS than that is unacceptable, because it would amount to nothing else but another huge corporate bailout. And just like Chimpy's Wall Street bailout, this one would be for the most undeserving corrupt pieces of shit.

" If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." ~Thomas Jefferson
