3. It there is (at the very least) no Public Option, then there is no reform
If there's no reform, then the bill is useless. If it's big gain for criminal insurance corporations, it's complete shit.

Kill it, and start over.

4. And what's with this
idea being floated around by the pro "reform" people that if we pass this bill, it will at least put a foot in the door and allow for further reform down the road. And if we kill the bill, no future president for a whole generation will want to touch health care reform. Really?!!! What EXACTLY is the guarantee that any future president, possibly Obama, will even touch future health care reform if the bill passes. I doubt Obama will. This is his "victory" and he can proudly parade it in his State of the Union. That's what politicians do, they polish up a big pile of shit and proclaim it to be a success. Face it, we were duped, BIG TIME.
