Olbermann nailed it in the Special Comment last night. Rightfully tore into both sides of the debate, and called out the bill for what it is. How can they honestly stand behind this and call it reform? I think a lot of people would defy the mandate if it went through as-is. Not necessarily by choice, either.
Bernie Sanders introduced a single-payer amendment to the Senate bill the other day, and the GOP used it to delay progress and forced a reading of the bill (all 700+ pages). Bernie Sanders' resulting tirade (and retraction of the amendment) sums up how I feel about this whole mess. It's deeply saddening that this whole effort has been turned on it's head and demonized, while there are millions of people who need help. All to protect fucking insurance companies and their billions of dollars in profits.
SINGLE FUCKING PAYER! ARRRGGGG.
