Hey Senate Finance Committee! FUCK YOU!
Edited on Tue Sep-29-09 05:23 PM by garybeck
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday rejected two amendments to include a government-run public health insurance option in the only compromise health care bill so far.

The amendments by Democratic Sens. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Charles Schumer of New York were opposed by all 10 Republicans on the committee and a few Democrats, including committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus of Montana.

Hey Senate Finance Committee! FUCK YOU!

Maybe the public option is too expensive for YOU, but it would bring DOWN health care costs for US! So FUCK YOU!

Too expensive to take care of people who are sick, and we end up paying for it anyway? FUCK YOU!

This isn't even a single payer proposal, just a public OPTION. Too expensive? FUCK YOU!

You can bail out the banks with billions of our money that ended up in the pockets of the fat cats behind the desks... you can spend billions on an unnecessary war.... but health care is too expensive? FUCK YOU!

You can send bazzillions of dollars in subsidies to the oil and coal industry, but health care is too expensive? FUCK YOU!

You don't give a shit about the people. You only care about the big health insurance companies that are lining your pockets. You never have to worry about health care costs, while you sit behind that nice fancy desks, do you?

FUCK YOU!

Okay,,,, Rockefeller, Schumer, you're cool.... but the rest of you that voted against the public option ammendment... FUCK YOU! Especially you MR Stab-in-the-Baucus!

have I made my point?

6. Please let me add my big ole FUCK YOU to these rat-bastard shills.
I can only hope at least one of them find their own Bernie Madoff to help invest their payoff.

Whorin' is hard work, ya know.

7. I need some info on this.
I just got done emailing Bill Nelson and giving him hell, when I go to my email account and find one from Moveon that says he did the correct thing by not voting for the Rockefeller amendment but is voting correctly on another amendment.

WTF is goin on here?

8. schumer is at least partly responsible for single payer being off the table.
he jumped in early and strongly saying we had to have a level playing field so that government didn't have an unfair advantage in providing coverage.

that gave great impetus to the watered down public option being good enough.
