MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - 9 December 2009:

OLBERMANN: "In the House, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey of California, co-chair of the Progressive Causcus, suggested this afternoon that unless the compromise offers more competition, her caucus could indeed vote against it...

- snip -

What specific part of this Senate deal, at least as much as we know of it, what part of it concerns you the most?"

WOOLSEY: "Well, the lack of competition.

The only way we're going to keep premiums down is to have competition against the private insurance industry, and from what I can see, they are offering nothing over in the Senate that will compete with private industry."

1. I live in her district.

I'm inclined to support her point of view on this. I'm tired of Dems rolling over for right wing assholes. :banghead:

2. Right on Lynn!

I agree - seems things are going from bad to worse...Howard Dean as much as said the same thing.
