Let's call Congress now! Turn the Baucus bill in to a starting point for negotation.

[Skidmore]

It is the establishment bargaining position. Let's turn it into the starting point. And no one gets held to the starting point. They need to move our direction.

1. unintended K intended U

Fuck Max Baucus and his bill

call your congressman (RIGHT FUCKING NOW) and tell them to co-sponsor HR676 Let's use that as the starting point.

2. I think we are saying essentially the same thing.

I just want us to let them know that we don't consider this Baucus bill to be the end point.

3. What about the Kennedy Bill instead?

Baucus's BS bill is not the only game in town.

ON EDIT -- I do indeed get what you are saying.

4. The only starting point that crap bill should be is to tear it up & Medicare for all

Its obvious after this that the piecemeal approach is too easily corrupted by the special interests in DC.

Use this as a template for what NOT to do and bypass those special interests by proposing a single payer system.

5. Yep. Starting point.

[Vincardog]

6. OK as long as Our STarting Point is Universal Single Payer paid for by the end of Dim Son's tax cuts

and we include making the Parasitic Insurance companies abide by the anti-trust laws.
