Reply #31: Thanks - You certainly wrote my exact thoughts much better than I

I did my abbreviated version.....that all caring people should vote for the bill because something needs to pass NOW...To get the ball (bill) rolling, get our foot in the door, to create a better bill now as well as better each year to come, until it becomes 100% single payer.....someday!

The Republicans tactic was/is to stall, stall, stall and which they know (along with the insurance corporations funneling money for distorting ads and political pay-offs) will eventually kill the bill, as they have for the past 50 or 60 years, republicans would of loved for the progressives to of killed the bill, and is the precise reason why they got a "republican", a "C" House cracker with a "D" after his name to insert the abortion bullshit purposely into the bill at the very last second....However, it passed anyway thanks to Speaker Pelosi....And Reid's Senate bill yesterday appears to be much better, surprisingly, than the House bill...the only ones who won't and didn't for it were the 39 Dems (some for diabolical reasons) and all the slimy republicans (minus 1).

Thanks for your eloquence. Again, exactly as I perceive it.
