Despite lack of public option, liberal coalition still calls for Senate passage of healthcare bill
December 15, 2009 | 12:12 pm

The left may be livid at Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Senate Democratic leaders who caved to his demand to remove any public option from the healthcare bill that Democrats are pushing to pass next week.

But bowing to reality, Health Care for America Now, the influential coalition of liberal activist groups, plans to send a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) this afternoon calling for passage of the legislation, said the group’s campaign manager, Richard Kirsch.

“There are major problems with the Senate bill,” Kirsch said in an interview today. “But if the Senate doesn’t act, there will be no healthcare reform. ... The place to fix is in a conference committee” with House and Senate leaders at the table.

The House healthcare bill includes a provision to create a government-run insurance plan that would be available to Americans who do not get their coverage through work.

Kirsh said it was "despicable" that Lieberman -- after backing the idea just a few months earlier -- had renounced a compromise plan to expand Medicare to people 55 to 64 years old, and he labeled the senator “a neutron bomb for the insurance industry” in healthcare negotiations.

But he said liberal activists were hopeful that House Democrats would succeed in restoring a government plan in the final bill that is sent to President Obama.

“If anyone thinks that this is the last public option story we’ll be reading, they are very mistaken,” he said.

Health Care for America Now’s members include MoveOn.org, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO and the American Nurses Assn.

11. You're smearing of true Democrats will not work this time around

Your freeper tactics will not work. You went to that well once to often.

[damntexdem]

13. Threaten a filibuster unless a PO or Medicare-buy-in is added.

Sen. Burris could do that -- what does he have to lose?

[IndianaGreen]

14. Is that the DLC's meme to keep the grassroots in line?

FRAK that!

[impik]

6. Teabaggers from both sides use the same slogan

[itsrobert]

9. Dean a teabagger?

I think not. Do you actually think you are being cute smearing true progressives?

[IndianaGreen]

15. FRAK the corporate whores that call themselves Democrats

They are not Democrats! They have consistently sided with the corporations against the people.

[VMI Dem]

12. They agreed with Joe on the Afghan surge too.

Whats changed?

16. Logical fallacy: false dilemma.

"Either you're with us or you're with the terrists!"

Sound familiar?

Can I say that Joe Lieberman needs to be hung, drawn & quartered, and the bill sucks donkey dicks, but it's still an improvement over the status quo?
