Nancy Pelosi has drawn and line in the sand. "Public option is essential". I think she said that? I spoke with my daughter last night. She is a lawyer and her husband is a scientist and both are Noam Chomsky liberals and represent solid rational liberals and are hard core Obama supporters like most of us. But she did say: "I have serious issues with Obama.' The liberals are very disgruntled right now.

Looks like the gloves are finally coming off. After all he has been subjected to the kitchen sink being thrown at him (thank you HIllary) and he (not his VP)knows what to do. Well in spite of what the Rs are saying the crisis is very real. I am an example of it. After watching my health insurance premiums soar 400% over the last ten years to over $4K per year.......I cut back my coverage significantly so that the premium dropped back below $4K. Just got my latest bill.....the premium is back up over $4K, increasing nearly $600 in one year or 15%. Its insane.......I was thinking of dropping my coverage but my cousin who is an MD says that would be a mistake. I am between a rock and a hard place. And do you know that my insurance company has never paid any medical bills of mine over that 10 year period because of the deductible.
