Whose fault if we do not get health care plan passed??

Poll question: Whose fault if we do not get health care plan passed??

[MercutioATC]

1. That would depend on WHY it doesn't pass...

How does one assign blame for something that hasn't even happened yet???

[NightWatcher]

2. which plan? the one that mandates we pay insurance or get fined?

or the one where we get universal single payer coverage (that never stood a chance of getting passed)

[leftstreet]

3. exactly!

:shrug:

4. +1

Flaw in the plan itself- it started from the perspective of "How much of a handout for the insurance companies and how much of a new bubble can we create, then how can we sell that as a miracle to the little people?"

9. Bubble > Bailout

oop$

[Hydra]

10. It's true, unfortunately

After perhaps the worst and most choreographed crash imaginable, they're setting up a insurance/health care bubble and even a carbon credit market to scam.

This system is horrible.

[leftstreet]

13. Just bail them out now. Kick up the vig, and get the inevitable single payer

Speed this process up I say.

14. so well said!

5. Fault?

IMHO there isn't anything under copnsideration that iw worthy of being passed into law.

The current alternatives being considered are a clusterfuck which will leave million uninsured and in worse shape than they already are. But I guess it will ease a few consciences.....

6. "We Have Met The Enemy and They is Us"

We vote for these fuckers - we get what we deserve.

Until the Left is willing to vote for a third party, our elected Democrats will move far Right because they know that we have to vote for them,

7. They are not 'centrist democrats' they are thinly disguised Republicans

[defendandprotect]

8. Most of this is correct . . . but we can't depend on e-mails and telephone calls .. ....

WTF . . .

WHY AREN'T LABOR UNIONS -- WHAT'S LEFT OF THEM -- AND WOMEN'S GROUPS --

CALLING FOR DEMONSTRATIONS ... ORGANIZING THEM?

IN FACT, SHOULDN'T DEMOCRATS BE ORGANIZING US INTO DEMONSTRATIONS?????

DO WE THINK THE GOP MIGHT NOT BE ORGANIZING THE FREEPERS ---???????????????????

11. The usual suspects: The corporate fellating whores known as the DLC

and the BlueBalled Cowards.

It only becomes Obama's fault if they pass a SHIT bill, and he signs it.

[kentuck]

12. Wow!! The "centrist" Democrats are winning in a landslide!

I hope they realize the thin ice they are skating on?
