Are there Democrats here or in the House who REALLY think...

[samrock]

That the country and the Democratic party would be better off with the current status on health care in this country than to simply pass the bill that cleared the senate??

10. Yup, I do. The Senate bill makes a bad situation worse and more entrenched

Trust me if I thought it would be a net positive, I'd be onboard seeing how bad I could use some coverage myself.

The Senate bill gives me the same ill sinking vibe as Reagan, NAFTA, shrub, and the Patriot Act with even worse politics, Joe Six-Pack is going to be fucking irate when and if this happens and I will be too because no one wants "wellness visits" that provide excuses for jacking up rates and no one wants to be forced to buy a private for profit product without choice, strong rules of the road, or serious efforts to make the forced purchase of the product affordable.

Everyone knows this bill stinks to high heaven which is why we hear "we'll fix it later" from supporters all day, every day. In fact this pig vomit of a piece of legislation should have and I suspect would have been killed in committee except for the constant stroking of "we'll fix it later" and "it'll get better and better as we go through the process", which like the current "we'll fix it later" turned out to be a bold faced lie.

11. The Senate bill will give trillions to big insurance that they will use to crush the meager reforms

in the bill.

IT IS A TOTAL SCAM LIKE NAFTA AND WE ALL KNOW IT.
