Reply #20: 'I'm sure it will be expended within a few years.'

This is how folks who have everything they want or need put the neglected ones off. 'Don't worry, we'll get to you.' I'm not holding my breath with my hands folded neatly in my lap. If you believe in a strong public option you need to keep fighting for it - in THIS Congress. If you have what you need, it should be a natural thing to fight for those who don't. All of this putting it off to the future while folks who already have insurance or can afford it in some form feather their own nests is a shame, And with all of the money squandered elsewhere, we're still getting a miserly slap in the face. Despicable.
