2. Health care without PUBLIC OPTION at minimum is meaningless...harmful . . .

5. Many things can be done with Reconcilliation after the main bill gets passed.

I suspect passing the Bill will only be the beginning and not the end.

9. Didn't we think that Obama was going to be the "beginning" of progressive change?

11. "Can" and "suspect" are not guarantees . . .

single payer -- MEDICARE FOR ALL -- should have been "on the table"

had the intentions been to actually help the American public and our economy!

12. Sometimes you need to go with what can happen and not what you wish could happen.

Politics is and always has been a messy business. Almost never does anyone get what they want. They get a portion and then try and improve it over the years.. Health Care will be no different..

6. The current Senate Bill has a state opt in for the creation of a public option.

13. Boxer noted it a few weeks ago. Though, we're not playing this up

just yet. I think we will. The only issue of course is that the exchange be essentially national, which I hope is the case.

8. On one hand I totally agree, on the other, I want us to begin the move forward.

I think in the "real" world of DC, we can't afford all or nothing. It too often ends up being nothing, which is why we've been pursuing health care reform for what, 50 years? Just my opinion (which changes frequently!) :hi:

4. NO PUBLIC OPTION! DO. NOT. WANT. LET. IT. DIE!

7. Yeah, we've heard that. HEALTH CARE REFORM NOW!

That's my motto. ;)
