For months – if not years – my single biggest gripe about the flanking attacks of the president's health care plan has been the deafening vacuum of better ideas.

As I've mentioned before, it's easy to criticize an idea that's already out there. It's why we have trial balloons. It's a helluva lot harder to offer solutions. Because those get hammered — whether it's on the floor of the House or in pages of the press.

And the most frustrating about that is the opportunity is right there for the taking. The public is more disenchanted with this president — and more importantly his health care "fix" — than ever before. Trade pub Morning Consult found that two out of three Americans would like to see major changes made to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. More than a third actually want it defunded or repealed altogether. Hell, nearly two-thirds of Democrats polled want to see more delays or an outright appeal.
