Since I'm the one who doesn't have access to health care, there really isn't anything the Democrats in Congress could do to make my situation any worse (except for passing the Baucus plan with no public option). If they pass a bill with a public option, they will be saving my life and JtS' life. Quite frankly, I don't give a shit what their motive would be for doing that, ego, or anything else, as long as they do it. And if they do, I will be grateful.

Really, a person without insurance (and even one with insurance) would have to be a total idiot to buy the Republican propaganda on the subject of health care reform.
