Reply #14: You're right, the bill was never a true "help the people" bill to begin with [View All]

Not in the way it should have been (ie single payer) but it's nice to know that when the bill got to a certain point where the negatives outweighed the positive, when we have bargained away just about everything that was ever good about it, at least decent people like Howard Dean, Bernie Sanders, Keith, and some others have had the guts to say, I want this president to succeed, but this is NOT a good bill and should not be voted for. It should always have been about single payer - or at least discussed. I mean hell, do we not live on the same planet as Canada and the UK? Did nobody watch Michael Moore's awesome documentary "Sicko"? Stupid congress.. and Obama need to show some L E A D E R S H I P! Argh. Yeah I wish "we the people" still meant something. Nowadays it's more like "a country by the corporations, and for the corporations". :(
