    Nadar And Kucinich On Health Care - Democracy Now

    “What we’re seeing here is a legislation that doesn’t even kick in until 2014, except for one or two items on staying with your parents’ insurance policy until you’re twenty-six. That means that there will be 180,000 Americans who will die between now and 2014 before any coverage expands, and hundreds of thousands of injuries and illnesses untreated. This bill [...]



    Senator Pridemore on Health Care

    While I disagree with Senator Pridemore that a bad bill with a couple of good provisions is better than no bill at all, Craig deserves praise for staking out a very clear position on health care reform.  The Democrats have to pass legislation that will provide health care at a reasonable cost to both businesses and individuals.  It needs to be [...]



    Democrats Have Committed Political Suicide

    Pelosi says public option is dead

    It is over for the Democrats even if they pass the Senate bill.  This legislation will be too little too late for them in November.  And if they don’t fix things quickly, they will be marginalized for at least a generation if not longer.  So sad.

    Looks like this is the only thing [...]



    Some Good News On The Public Option Today

    Looks like the Health Care Summit and Michael Bennet’s letter has resulted in some momentum in the Senate to revive the public option:

    In the wake of last week’s “bipartisan summit” — which proved that no Republicans in Congress will vote for health care reform — an avalanche of Democratic senators are announcing today that they will vote YES for the public health [...]

    Lies And Reversals - Is Anyone Surprised?

    Hard for me to write much these days.  There are no words left to express my contempt for and discontent with most of the people pretending to lead our country.

    Repeat After Me One More Time, Kill the Bill

    “The Bill” here refers to what is currently known about the Senate version of health care reform.  It is still possible a bill will emerge from the conference committee of the two houses of Congress that will be worthwhile.  Don’t hold your breath.
