Reply #116: The bills before congress will not effectively achieve that either. [View All]

Democrats are currently working on legislation that will protect corporate profits first and foremost.

The poor will find the junk insurance offered them to be (a) out of economic reach even with subsidies and (b) pitifully weak. They will also face the specter of fines when they can't afford the junk insurance being forced on them.

Those with preexisting conditions will find their "guaranteed" policies astronomically expensive and woefully inadequate.

Those with great coverage will find it taxed or reduced to avoid taxation.

This is not progressive legislation - its not even populist legislation. Its corporatist legislation.

It may be "Change You Can Believe In" I'm sorry not me.
