The exchange won't work! The problem of outrageous profits for the MIDDLEMEN is the PROBLEM!

1. Gibbs should've known this question would come up

and should have been prepared with an answer. I was waiting to hear about it too especially after the Baucus crime.

I was feeling maybe a little hopeful after reading this...

But Gibbs is not making me feel better with no answer response.

2. That was very sad to watch.

After all this time, how can he not have an answer for public option vs. co-op vs. anything else?

:cry:

5. Watch the town hall on CNN. Obama is pretty clear that

there would be an exchange through which you could pick and enroll in your insurance carrier choice and that one of the options would be a public one similar to Medicare or even including Medicare.

I do not know what is meant by the co-op format. Would that be non-profit rather than government management of the public option? Either way, I would assume that option would be carefully regulated.

President Obama clearly stated that the public option would be less expensive. As I recall, he referred to the public option as one of the options many times.

That town hall forum was really helpful. Lots of my questions were answered. I believe it is on CNN, C-Span and whitehouse.gov.

3. this is a joke

why do I feel so betrayed? Like I lost all hope? This is becoming a sad time to be a Democratic member after I was so happy after the election. I cant believe we have all this power and the Republicans still run the show.

4. Yeah, I guess it's time

to pull those Obama/Biden bumper stickers off my car. It wasn't supposed to end this way.
