Speaker Nancy Pelsoi calls the proposal of a 'trigger' for a public healthcare option, an excuse for not doing anything, and stands by the public option as the best cost-saving plan for Americans.

2. Speaker Pelosi is absolutely correct the "Trigger " is complete bullshit & no real

way to implement it to rein in the insurance corporations continued cost and profit margins.

The insurance corporations will stop any "trigger" from taking effect long before it suppose to work....if the insurance corporations can buy off congress on health care, they certainly can lobby against the trigger from ever being justified and used....

Insurance corporations would stop it in a heartbeat from it ever occurring that's why the paid-off greedy blue-dogs & republicans fucks (like the lying pig Olympia Snowe) are trying to push it in place of a public option.

3. I am glad she brought up the failure that was the Medicare trigger

They need to talk about that more often.

4. Got to give Pelosi points on this one.

The public option "trigger" is a stall tactic.

We don't have time to waste on this one.

7. Doesn't Anyone Have a Memory That Stretches Over a Year or Two?

This is the do-nothing bitch, who along with Harry the Bush-Leg-Humper Reid, did NOTHING for eight years for the Left! She saw no reason to impeach Bush! She's a big fucking joke like 9/10 of the Democrat party. Is it the fluoride? What?

Somehow I just don't see this fraud suddenly achieving what she should have been building a consensus for this whole FUCKING TIME at the bottom of the ninth.

DEMOCRATS = WASHINGTON GENERALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. here's a friggin trigger

On July 7, Jamie Kingsbury, a 32-year-old mother of four, went to the hospital after battling what she thought was a severe cold for several weeks. There, she was told she was suffering from severe aplastic anemia, a disease that – like leukemia – attacks bone marrow.

While receiving treatment, Kingsbury developed pneumonia and eventually an invasive fungal infection in her lungs. Lacking the necessary blood cells to ward off the infection, she died early Saturday morning, Sept. 19.

Her death couldn't have come at a worse time for her family.

Her husband, Jeff, was laid off at Fairchild Semiconductor in South Portland last year, losing his life insurance policy. Since then, the family has fallen behind its bills and is now struggling to come up with burial costs for Jamie.
