Way way back in this thread I delineated why Carol and I, and so many more like us, need the single payer system of public option to become a reality. Now it seems the health bills are so watered down that nothing at all will be changed except an increased tolerance for purveyers of anti abortion rhetoric. People, I, respectfully, leave the debate. What will be, WILL be. My mistake was to hope for a logical and humane outcome that favors inclusion over exclusion and charitable empathy over selfishness and maximization of personal and corporate wealth.

Goodnight people.
