Which this set of bills IS NOT.


I agree it would be nice for us all to have lemonade fountains and rock candy mountains- but why do you think THIS BILL will create it?


There you go again comparing an essential for life to frivolous non-essentials. Like I said, "let them eat cake - I've got mine so fuck everyone else".

No, none of the bills so far offered is comprehensive health care reform. But if they were, you would oppose them even more strenuously than you are the various bills that you keep referencing, because they would either involve single payer not for profit, or a very tightly regulated insurance industry. But we don't know yet what the final bill will contain, so we really can't say exactly what's going to be in it, but all of them are an improvement over what we have now, because they do provide some regulation of the insurance industry.
