Kennedy HELP Health Care Bill WITH Public Option
Excuse me but how many of you who are pissing on Obama today are the same ones who pissed on the HELP bill when it came out because it wasn't single payer?

???

This is barely the beginning of the process. Obama and the Senate aren't the ones with the weak backbones. If you're defeated already - YOU are the ones who need a backbone transplant.

Stop whining and start organzing.

1. Right! The real bill is yet to be written.
Baucus was a no vote from the go, he got grassley'd and never came out of it. ;-)

2. Thank you!
I'm about fed up with the whiners here! We've only started this process!

Any excuse to piss on Obama... any excuse to attempt to bring the rest of us down!

Now is not the time to give up!

5. The CBO says the HELP bill will do little to cut costs
http://www.thehealthcareblog.com/the_health_care_blog/2009/09/cbo-help-bills-public-plan-not-much-help-on-costs.html

Again, unless we get a real, universal public option (The Wyden Amendment), we're getting little in the way of reform -- even if they do pass something that uses the words "Public Option".

6. Thanks for making my point - Choice to join the Gateway
with or without a public option. That's the Wyden plan.
