Poll question: Did You Contact Your Senators And Tell Them What You Think About This So-Called Health Care Reform?
I did.

Kohl and Feingold. Feingold's mailbox was full. I left a message with Kohl's office. Basically I said no public option, not vote from me.
Same for Medicare buy-in.

2. I asked Russ to explain what we
have now, outside of the obvious gift to Big Insurance. If we get no real reform, I said kill it.

3. Waste of time. Bayh owns stock in Eli Lilly, and his wife sits on the board of WellPoint
Tonight, as expected, Bayh voted against Dorgan's drug importation bill.

Here is my last attempt to deal with Bayh:

13. The unrec system should be repealed by DU. One of DU's less bright ideas.
I don't know why this got unrec. Perhaps they don't like the poster.

15. Well, People Are Entitled to Their Opinion
I'll admit guilt myself over giving unrec's to threads that were good, but I didn't like the posters. There aren't many posters I don't like here. My ignore list is empty. Oh well, that's the way it goes I guess.

I wish we had a real Democrat there.

8. yes and sent Christmas cards to them
saying "All I want for Christmas is a public option that I can buy into. Please do all you can to make my wish come true."

Both of my senators have been rather silent on HCR, my COngressman was one of the authors of the House bill.

10. I told them to pass this sucker. We need a bill.
I support health care reform, and oppose teabaggers/Republicans/Conservatives/liberals/progressives that do not want a bill.
