In an impassioned speech on the House floor on Tuesday, Representative AlanGrayson, recounted how when his first child was born, his insurance company refused to pay the $10,000 dollar cost. a four-page bill can be seen here in all it's simplicity and transparency. Here's part of Grayson's speech:Grayson: Isn't it time that we finally did something good for America? Isn't it time that we gave all Americans the right to buy into a public plan like this? Isn't it in fact past time that we did something like that and what's the harm? I say to those people on the other side of the aisle, if you don't want to buy into the public option, that's fine. But don't prevent me and my family and the ones who I love from doing the same. Let us have our alternative. And remember, remember what you said so many times before. You say the government can't do anything right. Well let's see. Let's see right now. Let's let people buy into the public option, this bill.

2. I love me some Alan Grayson!

He's the kind of rep one can be proud of. Unfortunately I live a few miles away from FL-8 and have a DINO representing me... (Kosmas) I hope after the census we can get the districts redrawn so I can be in his district! That would be sweet!
