At the health care panel, Kathleen Stoll, from Families USA, says, "some of you may think of me as an incrementalist. I prefer to think of myself as a sneaky sequentialist." Cute. That said, her definition of an incremental step is a heavily regulated, universal plan that includes a public option. In other words, something like the Edwards plan. That may be a lot of things, but it's not incremental, and it's almost too big to be considered mere sequentialism. This is a crowd that's truly for single-payer, though, and so the center shifts left. It's heart-warming, in a way.
