The Health Care Reform Rumble

[NJmaverick]

In this corner:

President Obama

President Clinton

Economist Paul Krugman



In the other corner:

Howard Dean


Anyone I missed?

Edit to add: I am not counting current members of Congress as we know where 57 of the Senate stands and we don't know the final position of the House.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

1. About 80% of the people on the board you're posting on

2. Bernie Sanders. Glenn Greenwald.

Anthony Weiner. Quite a few others.

[NJmaverick]

4. I am not counting those in Congress, since we know 57 support the bill

[Cleita]

3. Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich and economist Ravi Batra in the other corner.

[NJmaverick]

5. I am not counting Congress as we know 57 Senators support the bill

and we will know the House's position in due time.

[Cleita]

6. You counted Clinton. She's not in Congress and neither is hubby Bill. n/t

9. Read my lips.

I don't care who is on Obama's side and who is not. This bill has not just one fatal flaw. It has multiple fatal flaws. It should be scrapped and they need to start over. This time with single payer on the table.

11. Anyone you missed? Yes, everyone not in the pocket of the Insurance industry

Pretty much the only people who are left that support this bill are ones that will make money or political clout supporting or sheep who can't see the forest for the trees.

And if you think they are done gutting this bill, you are sadly mistaken. Do you really think the insurance industry is going to take sick people onto their rolls, people who might cut into their profits? Before they are done the pre-existing conditions clause will be gone or capped so high no one can afford it.

14. That did sum up, nicely nt

[laughingliberal]

13. Russ Feingold, Al Franken, Wendall Potter, SIEU, AFL-CIO...

In the first corner, you left out:

Joe Lieberman

Ben Nelson

Max Baucus

16. You forgot John McCain standing shoulder to shoulder with Howard Dean
