"Triggering" A Public Option - An Affront To Obama Supporters
President Obama appears to have completely "sold out." His approval rating plummeted, not because of Republicans, but because of how he is "negotiating" health care reform. Single-payer should have been used as a bargaining chip.
To compromise both single-payer and a public opton is to trade out health, financial stability and our nation's solvency in exchange for Blue Dog and Republican votes. This is a direct affront, and duplicitous act, against the very people who put him in office and gave him a majority in Congress to work with.
Reid Comes Around, Declares War
I just got off a conference call with Senator Reid, and his office has given the go ahead to blog on record about what he said. Other bloggers were in on it too, so look around for other reports, as mine is going to be a little strongly worded.
Good news: Harry Gets It. To quote: "The insurance industry is the Enemy." This was part of his response to questions about health care. Although he won't oppose it, as it's "something," he's not impressed with Arnold's bill, because he's worried about the Mass. example, that is, forcing the poor into plans doesn't really help anything and in fact hurts those who can't afford ridiculous premiums. If Harry had his way, people in this country would enjoy "the same plan as [he] has." Mmmm!
