I trust the government more than the corporations. Nonetheless, to have them compete with each other for insurance sounds like both will be better. Good on the designers of the public option! Now could we just have it for everyone and have it start next year?

Trust me there is no fear here, there is realization to how limited the government is in its abilities. This bill is an economy killer..and I know smarter ideas have been proposed but simply snubbed because of where the ideas came from. I'm pretty sure the bill will pass though because too many feel they are entitled to it, when in actuality taxes ...

I hope and pray that I am wrong, and that your trust in their abilities isn't blind.

Well, I don't know, that Gore is a pretty smart guy. He was talking about geothermal energy the other night on Conan O'Brian's show, and he said that we have about 35,000 years worth of energy underground in the US alone. He said that if you drill down a couple of kilometers, you can reach areas of the earth that are millions of degrees hot!

Did you guys see this? Teabaggers get punk'd by anti-racists at their own rally! http://tinyurl.com/yj4p56g

Exceptionally illuminating!

yes we all know the earth heats and cools in cycles but the new Climate change intiatives are fear tactics that use skewed data to make us believe we need to pay high taxes to combat the earth heating up due to US progress. The newly hacked emails of leading pro global warming scientists is proof that they are scamming us in the name of profit...check out Mark's link above..the truth is out and Gore is going down!

Well put. And none too soon. Gore's hypocracy knows no bounds. "don't eat meat...causes globull warming" but of course he won't become a vegetarian. And his mansion uses more power than a hundred houses. and the jets ...and and and. But hey, he stands to be a billionaire if this cap and tax prevails.

We're talking about debt that can never be
repaid, and ultimately, lower living standards
for all Americans. Welcome to the wonderful
world of 'change', compliments of Barack Obama!

What "Budget Committee" is the source of this analysis, Mr. Gelfand?

The CoC is trying to block a bill that supports workers to take a paid sick day because of the h1n1 virus? http://tinyurl.com/yzlb6zy
No wonder Apple, PG&E and others have left.

Congress is working on a bill directly connected to a sick day for one disease? Unreal...as if they have nothing else to do.

OMG

Have you morons never heard of shorteners, like bit.ly or tinyurl?

btw, i find it funny that anyone would consider union workers 'better educated'. everyone knows, unions award the lazy people and hold back those that truly excel. after all, if that money wasn't wasted on lazy know nothing employees, it could instead be used to reward the ones that truly deserve it.

Douglas, you are so right....

Ken, have you checked the mortgage, commodity and hard currency markets? We are just shy of a run on the dollar. The FED has been throwing our flash paper on their own private bonfire. After that nice and toasty stock feeling wears off, the winter chill is going to settle in with ferocity. The last time I checked, Glass-Steagall was still repealed, so our FDIC insurance tax dollars are still at risk to high stakes gambling. So much for reform.

No question the tidal wave of cash is artificially inflating the market. China is stockpiling raw materials and sucking much of the gold out of available supply. They are diversifying out of the dollar and with good reason. Thank you Franklin for a real time assessment without the silly name calling that has become Facebook.

"Substantively, arbitration is more favorable to employees than litigation and individuals fare at least as well—if not better—in arbitration as they would have in court, while keeping down transaction costs."

Are you serious? To you it comes down to transaction costs? ... Read More

It would seem that "PROTECTING ANYONE EMPLOYED" by these firms you support and lobby for, would be SUBSTANTIALLY MORE FAVORABLE TO THE VICTIMS. We're talking about human beings being attacked here, not the cost of doing business, and the PROTECTION of workers from attacks and abuse comes with the territory. If it is too costly to control that aspect of the business, they have no right being in business or being a government contractor.

You are obviously some kind of "sit on your ass bean counter" that has never experienced a rapist or attack while on the job, or experienced being denied the justice these people are asking for. If you had a clue you would not be so quick to support the business that tolerate this abuse for the sake of your almighty f'ing dollar. It will never heal the wounded, and it's more like hush money than justice. You can't help but know that. How do you stand to look @ yourselves or in the mirror?

Nicholas, I find your letter to be replete with double-speak and it smacks of duplicity and self-serving rhetoric, just like your objections to health care reform.

you say U. S. chamber and health care reform in the same sentence? isnt that an oxymoron? and no its not depravity... obviously your group and i don't see eye to eye... maybe you should remove U. S. from your name and just put republican conservative in its place
