InsuranceCo Whore Baucus's "health care" plan contains NO public option .. AND

[Triana]

He wants to require Americans to buy health insurance policies. If you can't afford it, you'll face big tax fines.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW from SickForProfit -- THEN CALL YOUR SENATOR. Demand a public option. [phone]

The BEST we can hope for is a strong public option since our corprat-pwned politicians don't have the political will to support REAL health care reform (ie: SINGLE PAYER, Medicare-for-all).

DO NOT LET InsuranceCo Whore Baucus and Harry (pantywaist ninny) Reid cheat us out of AT LEAST a strong public option! LET 'EM HAVE IT IN THE EAR about this shit!

EDIT: punctuation and addition of text

1. As long as this is THE bill, I'm not phone-banking in support of it

I refuse to sell my soul for political points. Give me a bill I can believe in, and then we'll talk manning the phone lines.

2. The request is to call AGAINST it, not FOR it.

they need to hear from a LOT of people that having NO public option in any bill (or having triggers in any bill) is UNACCEPTABLE.

5. I get that...

I receive a lot of calls from the local Obama field reps to phone-bank in support of healthcare reform. However, I want to support an actual bill, not a nebulous concept of what the bill might contain. So that's why I haven't committed to phone-banking yet.

4. The Concept of "Cost Sharing"

...was written into HR 3200 from the beginning. The figures mentioned were $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for families.

I read it when it was published online and I shit bricks, I couldn't understand what everyone was so excited about.

A lot of 21-30 people will never afford moving out of their parents house. That's gonna suck when they get kicked out.

6. 21-30? Heck I'm way beyond that age and could never afford that.

Yikes.
