I have an honest question.

Are the people instituting these insurance policies completely heartless? Or does the detachment of customers being letters and numbers and figures on a page soften the blow of murdering people for not providing a service that you said would?

I just don't think they give a fuck. They only see $$$$$

sirdrakesheir July 30 2009, 19:45:27 UTC

I believe it's the latter.

dismissing complaints from progressives that they have been shut out of negotiations dominated by swing Blue Dogs on Energy and Commerce.

... Yeah, considering Conyers blamed leaders in his own party for taking single-payer off the table and considering the total lack of single-payer advocates at the Senate health care hearings, Pelosi needs to STFD on this one.

Sorry Nancy, but the Blue Dogs are just as much the villains as the health industry. The financial ties between the two parties are too strong for anyone to try and claim that one works independent of the other.

Exactly. They have a crap bill now because they aimed so fucking low to start with.

Who said that people who can afford to pay extra will be penalized? That's some bullshit Republitards made up. The bottom line about the public option (the key word being OPTION) is that if someone can comfortably afford and prefers private insurance, that's fine, so be it. But for the rest of us, the shitload of Americans who can't afford quality private insurance, the public option is for us.
