Not Good. Services through the public option may cost more than through private plans. Not good. Plans won’t start for another 4 years. Not good. Bills are likely to be watered down even further to please conservative democrats. Not good. Let’s quit this fake Bill and regroup before the next congressional elections. Then we should go all out for a real single payer health care system like the UK has.

Why is it that, if Medicare-for-All is what a majority of Americans want, it is considered "politically impossible" and this cobbled-together bail-out is the best the damned Congress can do? Stop flogging these stupid, convoluted plans. Stop trying to make us not realize that Obama and the Congress do not want to reform health care to make it available to all, but want to enrich their insurance company campaign donors. More than most things lately, we're reminded that we have the best congress and president money can buy. I want to know a couple of things:

Public option??? It is a necessity! Firemen never stop and wait to determine if you have "house on fire" insurance, and police never hesitate to make sure you are covered under the "dark alley mugging option;" why should public health be any less a right than public safety?
