Mr. President, the decades of struggle were NOT for affordable universal INSURANCE...

[rateyes]

the decades of struggle was for universal HEALTH CARE. There is a BIG difference. As one of your progressive friends on the left, I have to say that you don't seem to get that point.

I will trust you when you say that you will not back down on giving people a choice. Don't betray that trust.

If you, sir, sign a bill that doesn't provide a robust public option, then you will lose my vote come 2012.

1. I'm concerned about the ability of such a plan - 5% of folks to hold down prices for the other 95%

[rateyes]

2. It needs to be tied into Medicare. He missed an opportunity

to say "Medicare for all."

[polpilot]

3. He wants the repubs to 'like him'.

[rateyes]

4. That's one wish that will never come true, and how he can use the words

Republican and friends in the same sentence is beyond me.
