Mr. President last November I worked from 5:00 AM to 10:30 PM in Ohio ...
... as your legal observer to make sure everybody who wanted to vote could vote and that
their vote would be counted and I was proud to do it for you too but I did not do that work
so the American people can keep getting screwed by the insurance companies. We already
had "a trigger" and it was called the election.

1. they don't wanna seem to remember that - many of us have said that
the election was the damn (*)()Y&&_()* TRIGGER!

He said he was for a Public Option - then make it happen with your heavy majority - there's no excuse. A majority of Dems would prefer the Univ. HC plan, but we'll start with the Public Option.

3. If and when that "trigger" fires the insurance companies will fight it ...
.... tooth and nail. The trigger just lets the insurance companies keep screwing us ..... nothing more
and nothing less.

4. when you care for someone who is handicapped, or just went through cancer treatment or
you lost all of your money, or even your HOME - then yeah, one issue.
