There is no deal. There is only the public option without coops or dollars to buy off the insurance industry's pad mouthpieces...the Republicans. This is the biggest single issue for me and I am putting my few dollars where my mouth is and funding only those Democrats who vote for a public option and nothing else.
The White House has practically dealt themselves out of the picture by being floor mats for the Republicans. It is up to them to get back into the playing field and behind this juggernaut that is the health care public option. Progressives must stand firm because this really is the single biggest fight we have had on the domestic front that like social security can dramatically change the lives for the better of all Americans.
Every bankrupted family, those sick with no health care, insured with deductibles so high that it is almost as if you have no insurance, every unemployed American with no money for COBRA, those with no insurance because they are temporary workers, and for those of us who have health insurance but it won't pay for tests we need because it eats into their profits need to say ENOUGH! We who believe in change must remind our Democratic politicians that we matter, we vote, and we want a STRONG public insurance option passed this year. Anyone standing in our way should be ashamed and fearful as we are angry gentle people a forced to be reckoned.
