Why We're Breaking With the Blue Dogs on the Public Option

Rep. Jane Harman's 27-year-old son, was dropped from his insurance after suffering a torn eardrum. So you wonder had this event not happened would she have continued to fight against a public option? It shouldn't take an effect on one's own family for action and may I add this statement:

"Blue Dog Coalition - a group of House Democrats committed to fiscal responsibility and budget discipline."

Um...what about fighting to protect corporate interest? At least blood runs deeper than corporate greenbacks, at least this time!
