Yesterday Obama said that he would take the public option for healthcare off the table; an obvious attempt to quiet the firestorm of citizen dissent across the country. So, despite his rhetoric for the past several years to the contrary, I’m supposed to believe that he’s just throwing in the towel on this? I don’t think so.
The American people are waking up to the political manipulations happening in Washington DC today, and as they rub the sleep from their eyes, are realizing that a healthcare plan, any healthcare plan, under government control will cost more than projected, allow for political quid pro quos, foster political strong-arm pressure, create market manipulation, and ultimately cost citizens in quality of care and cost seniors by devaluing their lives to save money.
Pelosi said that the house bill WILL have the public option. The senate says they will look at healthcare coop angle.
What ever these crooks are doing it ain’t good for you and me. The pressure needs to continue and government needs to understand that we don’t want them involved in our healthcare!
The difference between healthcare co-ops and a public option is only in who runs them.
