Wyden was rejecting this current proposal- the so called public option Baucus is offering.... Wyden has been a health care champion-- so if he is digging in his heels, it makes me think there is a problem with it.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-26022106817624539132009-10-07T05:07:29.345-07:002009-10-07T05:07:29.345-07:00Thank you, Fran, and everyone else for your courag...Thank you, Fran, and everyone else for your courage in getting this almost too-plaintive message out there.<br /><br />I just keep feeling that there must be some group that wants to lead a national movement for this challenging moment in our country's history.<br /><br />Where are they?<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />SCirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-70026268015294905192009-10-05T20:44:07.948-07:002009-10-05T20:44:07.948-07:00nonnie~ the spin doctors had us so entrenched betw...nonnie~ the spin doctors had us so entrenched between the yes/no of the public option..... we need to pay close attention to what it is we are saying *yes* to. <br /><br />In this hurried, votes for sale emotionally charged<br />fight... we need to make sure we cover these fine details the medicos are talking about. <br /><br />We don't want the insurance companies to just get more paying customers, but still keep much of their business as usual tactics in place- or new creative ways to find loopholes.<br /><br />Kvatch~ That's a lot of coin to be having as extra to buy votes. <br />We have got to stop this armed robbery of healthcare. <br /><br />We have no system.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-9812992709557518902009-10-05T15:55:44.311-07:002009-10-05T15:55:44.311-07:00The insurance companies are paying 1-2 MILLION dol...<i>The insurance companies are paying 1-2 MILLION dollars daily to lobby to keep their profit...</i><br /><br />And therein is the whole crux of the problem.
