There is no alternative

I hear DAILY the gloom and doom cry from the cRyght about impending disaster promised by that socialistic of all measures HEALTH CARE. I am NOT satisfied with the current plan as I see it. I INSIST there be a public option...allowing the insurance companies to 'improve' is sort of like asking an arsonist to tend the matches and gasoline and telling them not to play with either as you're leaving the room.

I'd LOVE a single payer system...but realize some compromises are necessary if ANYTHING positive is to come.

I'd LOVE to see a list of those issues that CAN be agreed on....like "previous condition..."

Except....the cRyght seems to be living down to their new tag..."The Party Of NO!'

Not only do they NOT want the health care plan to pass, but they offer NO alternative...none.

"Not only do they NOT want the health care plan to pass, but they offer NO alternative...none."

They dont want anything to change. Change to them is evil and to be feared....especially if it comes in the form of helping others at their expense. Better the big insurance companies keep their profits than they be directed to those who didnt "plan better". Look up the word conservative

and I intend to do all in my power to see that EXTREME pressure is leveled against those so called "Democrats" that stand in the way. This is too important on a much broader scale than worrying about your job. NOW is the time to stand up and DO the job you elected to do!
