It's time for true progressives in Congress to torpedo this alleged health care "reform" legislation
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 05:33 PM by Better Believe It
They should vote against it and publicly proclaim their intentions.

This legislation has been written by the insurance industry, big Pharma and the for profit medical industry.

Their bought and paid for political whores in Congress are trying to steamroll liberals/progressives in Congress to vote for this piece of crap.

For the sake of honesty, it should be called the Private Insurance Industry and Big Pharma Protection Act.

It's time for true progressives and liberals to take a stand in Congress in support of real health care reform that will benefit working people and vote against so-called "reform".

If this health insurance industry bill passes, next year a conservative bi-partisan Congressional coalition will be pitching "social security reform" which will cut social security benefits and raise the retirement age for future recipients.

And there won't be any phantom filibuster against it! Senator Reid will only require 51 votes to pass it.

And it will be passed!

"It should be called the Private Insurance Industry and Big Pharma Protection Act."
