Young Americans for Healthcare Reform

This is wild! I mean the vote went right down the party lines, and its sad when you see the chart and see that AZ & TX has 1/4 of their people with no insurance. One aout of every 4 people have no insurance in those state. Money vs Care, yep these people are bought and sold.

Well in all due respect to the Prez,

It's not like we really helped him in wanting the changed that he was trying to bring to us. The Tea Parties and riots really got the Replubican party stronger and we sat back and watch them use scare tactics against us once again. It's sad that we still let fear mongering get to us. Pres. Obama did the right ... See Morething by letting the Senate figure out a bill and they all dropped the ball. The President could have stepped in and intervened for the public option, but he all ready knows that people think he's some sort of "Dictator" so he let the Legislative Branch do their thing. So if we are to blame anyone. Lets give it to our Senators come next years election.

I don't really think fear mongering got to us. The public option still has an approval rating in the high 60 percentile, and was at it's highest during the height of the 'death panels' lie. It was during this time that this obsession with 'bi-partisanship' really hit it's height and that really slowed the health care process considerably. Let's ... See Moreunderstand that the only reason this bill wasn't passed in August was due to the fact that Democrats slowed the process, not Republicans who don't really have the numbers to do that. The President didn't need to intervene so much as to push the public option as an essential part of health care reform, which he did not do at his meet with Senate Democrats a few weeks back that made it an expendable and soon after dismissed option.

we never get all that we want or deserve. But we will get much more than ever before. Grow up people

I second Paul's comment.

I agree with Shawn on this one!

The public option is a good thing - but would it really have done what we wanted it to do? And is there competition in the bill? Having said that - let's keep the pressure on for the best bill we can get....

There will be some benefits through this to the consumer, but nothing like what insurance companies will see. A parasite does not kill its host simply because that would cut off its food supply. In the long run, we are worse off as a country because of this.

Anytime you set a 20% cap on profits you really make it easy to make money.... They win

Let's sponsor a bill that would eliminate lobbyists, earmarks and include it a crime for any politician to advocate or use these tactics. Yes we can afford the added prisons, put it down south so they can be on a chain gang.

yes

Yes!

great idea!

At this point, why not?
