What did Reid say the other day about Public Option - for or against??

[defendandprotect]

I missed what he said, but was concerned that he said he was against?

Anyone see this?

1. Something like he's for the public option, but the trigger idea is cool beans too. nt

2. Majority Leader should be out there for MEDICARE FOR ALL --

and he should be calling all Democrats out to demonstrate for it -- !!!

Things seem too quiet surrounding all of this --

Kerry attacking 30% profit of health insurance companies -- and then not even

providing the coverage the insured think they have --

Maria Cantwell was great!

[polichick]

3. And Linda Douglass was touting the pharma deal today from the WH...

imo our guys are way too cozy with the industry to properly represent us on this ~ otherwise we WOULD be talking Medicare for all.

4. Think there should be ETHICS investigations of Baucus chairing these hearings . . .AND...

having taken a ton of money from the insurance/health care industry -- !!!

This is inane -- !!!

Also, Democrats are really dumb if we don't target Baucus next time he's up for

reelection . . .

We have to make campaign finance BRIBERY a dirty word --

Things are too quiet surrounding this and I think Baucus can get away with it ????

Howard Dean said last night . . . "This is a bill that Bush would love!"

$500 billion to the for profit health care industry!



PS: And they still haven't gotten anything done about Medicare Part D/Drug Program
which is another giveaway to the pharmaceuitcal companies where we are enriching those
we are trying to control and contain!!
