This current health care bill is just huge a windfall for the insurance firms and drug firms -- Obama, Reid & Co. caved in and they should be ashamed... I would like to see our President fire his Chief of Staff tonight and publicly admit that he needs to re-order his priorities in order to fight for what's right for this country. Obama is going to face tremendous pressure from the NetRoots, the Progressives, and many Moderates / Independents...Obama would not have been elected without many of these folks -- don't ever forget that....and DON'T sell out drug companies, insurance companies, Wall Street and Defense Firms...Hold true to your principles President Obama or prepare to go down hard...Where is the candidate we all voted for...??

If rumors are true, here's what we're looking at for the final health care bill... A fine if you don't sign up to buy insurance, so 47 mil new folks for Big Insurance A plan to give (my) tax money to the companies for you if you can't afford it, so it isn't socialism No public option, no single payer, no Medicare 55 or 60 or 64.5 A prohibition against women buying their own abortion riders with their own money No cheap drugs from Canada. What's not to like? Drive a spike thru its heart.
