Nancy Pelosi putting on her parachute

[DrToast]

"You go through the gate. If the gate's closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we'll pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we'll parachute in. But we're going to get health care reform passed for the American people."

-- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Will it have a public option or some sort of price controls?

the highest medical and drug prices in the world. We are America, protect big insurance and big pharma.

5. I wish the entire Congress had Nancy's resolve.....

.... oh to be a Democratic Senator from a progressively blue state.

6. If she's doing it for "the American people"

she must not be planning to pass the Senate bill because that's written for the insurance companies of America.

8. Sigh...I know. As many others have said, I want something to pass, just so the rethugs can't do

their victory dance, but, right. We need a REAL public option.

10. "For the American People"?

Good.
That means she is putting in the Public Option!

* Would you favor or oppose the national government offering everyone the choice of a government administered health insurance plan — something like the Medicare coverage that people 65 and older get — that would compete with private health insurance plans?

Favor 82%

Oppose 14%

Not Sure 4%

Thanks for listening to the American People and not the Health Insurance Corporations, Nancy!
