MSNBC The Ed Show w/ ED SHULTZ - 8 September 2009: Interview with Rep. Maxine Waters of the Progresssive Caucus on health care reform.

WATERS: Your question is very clear. You're asking whether or not we will support some other alternative to public option. And I want to be very very clear. I have said over and over again that any comprehensive universal health care plan must have public option, or we don't bring down the costs... In order to have competition, bring down the costs, and, not allow the insurance companies to keep running rampant over the American people, squeezing them for high premiums. We've got to have a public option. I will not vote for anything that does not have a public option.

them I'm sure they will win.

3. We support Democrats who support Single Payer.

Our Progressive Democrats better not back down. Many of us are holding on by our finger tips to this Party and if they don't push for Single Payer, I don't know why the even call themselves Democrats

from a wise African American woman.

It's nice to see a REAL Democrat with an actual spine.
