It's demise? What about moving on to an option that works now? No one should be celebrating the stall in reform. It has so much more to do with beating the Dems than doing whats best for America.
with all due respect, you are in no position to question my motives
now that the public option has been pulled and after "end of life counseling" has been canned, there are still HUGE problems remaining
1. waxman/rangel in the house, the blueprint for discussions ongoing upstairs, still FINES individuals, as criminals, caught breathing without insurance
2. it therefore forces folks to finagle for themselves that which they can't afford in the first place, hardly the help they were promised
3. it contemplates massive CUTS TO MEDICARE and MEDICAID, rightfully outraging seniors, the same who swing every election in this country, the smartest, most resourced, most interested, most dedicated voting bloc in america
4. it includes coverage for illegals, per the voting down of the heller amendment in charlie rangel's ways and means, july 17
5. it generalizes the funding of abortion, bluedog bugaboo
6. it taxes small business 8% if they don't pay for coverage for their employees, sure to kill hundreds of thousands of companies currently struggling to meet payroll as is
7. it puts heavy "surcharges" on those over 250G, couples over 350---this may please you (i don't mean to presume), but it is a sizeable political problem for obamacare going forward
8. it looks too much to END OF LIFE COSTS for its savings, again, freaking out our parents, electoral suicide
9. it taxes med benefits, the mccain plan, which played a not small role in seeing that slightly doddering senator go down hard on nov 4
10. it bends the COST CURVE the wrong way, obama's raison d'etre
and its salesman in chief, THE CHIN, increasingly appears like a man who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about or what the heck he's doing
in grand junction on saturday, he actually said, concerning health care:
"i'm a reasonably dedicated student to this issue"
Obama gets personal during health care town hall in Colo. - USATODAY.com

LOLOLOL!
what an IDIOT
