Reply #356: Not necessarily KILL the bill

[Ken Burch]

Keep fighting for a real bill, use the Republican opposition to health care to attack the Right in the 2010 campaign;

OR

If there was NO other choice but to pass the worthless shell of a bill we got, at least pledge, at the signing, that the fight would start, the NEXT day, for a REAL healthcare bill in the next Congress, with the prospect of that used to build turnout and enthusiasm for the fall.

Instead, the admin just said "this is all there will EVER be...so eat your shitburger, peasants".

You know the bill we got wasn't really worth anything and that there was no good reason to just say that that was all there would EVER be. What happened was simply bad politics, and it showed that the admin didn't really care about healthcare or standing up to Wall Street at all.

You can't care about those things and settle for the nothingness we got in both of those bills, AND then tell people that they have no right to expect any more later.

A healthcare-bill-in-name is nothing.
