Reply #130: I support passing this now, but the grade it gets is an "incomplete". Still a lot to do yet! [View All]

And I will not stand for someone saying, "Well now we've DONE it! We've passed health care!", and put it on the shelf for years!

THAT is NOT acceptable, and I won't accept being "played" that way!

I say pass it now so that hopefully some that are close to the edge now will benefit where they might otherwise lose their health or their lives. We can't undo that happening. But we NEED to undo the crap of giving welfare to these insurance companies.

This also should be used to pass some MEANINGFUL public campaign financing now, so that we don't have to go through this again on any kind of meaningful legislation in the future!

So I'm qualified for my support, and I don't feel like celebrating this system. Just celebrating that we can keep some people from dying, though many will still die because of its inadequacies before the meat of this bill kicks in a few years later. THAT is why I don't celebrate!
