When you say, "the bill", in order for your statements to be correct, "the bill" has to be defined as the proposal to expand Medicare to those who are between the ages of 55 and 64, which is not the same thing as health care reform. It cannot be defined to include the public option or Medicare for all. Now that the public option has been effectively killed in the Senate and they are leaning toward only expanding Medicare to people over the age of 55, the insurance companies are declaring victory. This is not a surprise to me or anyone else who has been paying attention to the ways in which the insurance industry is trying to screw over the US health care consumer.

I have never been in favor of expanding Medicare to only those 55 and above, and I know that Kucinich has never been in favor of that, either. So I must conclude that the radio program you heard it on must have been an arm of the corporate propaganda machine. Because the way they are framing the issue is dishonest and designed to mislead.
