if they don’t find the balls to pass a bill with a single-payer option they are going to be skewered by the voters in the next election. Well, Brain, I guess the Democratic, filibuster proof, majority does not have any, and the President seems to be doing a nice crinoline enhanced curtsy himself.
President taking public option off the table.
quote:
And although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.
Obama’s willingness to forgo the public option is sure to anger his party’s liberal base.

Of course not, but a lot of posters on CM seem to think they do.
Yeah, I wonder why?
House Passes Stimulus Plan With No G.O.P. Votes - NYTimes.com
Jan 29, 2009 ... WASHINGTON — Without a single Republican vote, President Obama won House approval on ... Democrats' goal is to have the stimulus package, ...
A perfect illustration of who is holding up the passage of the purported "heath-care" Bill. Why isn't it passed under the same conditions? Why, if it's so serves its purported intent wasn't it passed, under this same majority, and with the now "sainted" Ted able to vote for it?
Somebody want to make me laugh and reference bipartisan "inclusion"?
quote:
what truth are you referring too? "Truth" sometimes is a moving target tazzy, but in this case, the truth is that this Bill will not accomplish its goal; not in its original form and surely not whatever form it will evolve into after Congress gets back from their vacation and their town hall 'pep rallies'.
The Bill was a bureaucratic boondoggle, as the 1000 page length would indicate. It was full of special interest payback and economic land minds. Worst, instead of rising the quality of care in the US, it guaranteed to make it worse.
A solution of employer mandated coverage for all employees, full and part time, would be step one. Inclusion of all uninsured under Medicare would be step two. Quality would be insured by eliminating the current Federal, State, and Local government "insider" insurance and replacing it with the same Medicare, or 'safety net' coverage. So simple you would think even Congress could do it, however we'd be better off if Geico 'cave-men' gave it a try.
