Nope, not true. The republicunts didn't want any health care reform at all. As noted above, their plan is "You sick? Get well or die." In 2009 they did not have the votes to affect the outcome, though.
The public option died because of a handful of democratic senators.

Quote:Remember the public option? It was, for many Democrats, their absolute top priority during the health-care reform debate. But they didn't get it. A handful of conservative Democrats, led by Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, made clear that if there was a public option, they would filibuster the final bill. And so it died.

Self employed, annual premium in the 5 digits now, BCBS, 40+% premium increase this year, and anyone wanna bet next years increase is 50+% ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I stand corrected, it's difficult to tell one group of obstructionists from another anymore.

Nelson and Blanche Lincoln still got thrown out in the Tea Bagger wave in 2010. They forgot that if you give people a choice between a republicunt and another republicunt they will pick the republicunt every time.

A spineless paid off kind of guy he lost a lot of supporters hell i don't even consider myself a democrat anymore because well democrats are just as bad as republicans
the only thing is they don't out right say bat shit crazy things. But lets be honest here most democrats are paid off by large corporations in the case of Hillary Clinton
and others a large majority. The only truly way we will get single payer is if Obama made a executive order which the hell wont or the government agrees on it which
the fuck they wont because they are paid off. I mean for fucks sake we pay out the ass for prescription medications were forced to have insurance and there a lot of other shitty things.
This only makes me wonder is the government it's not for the majority anymore but only for the wealthy.
America praise the rich fuck the little guys.... because it's true these days.

We have options we don't have to vote for a Orange Baboon though if we did we would be better off in the long run we would get 4
years of a idiot granted the next 8 we would get a green party nominee in office. We put Hillary in charge we are risking a lot
another cold war we don't need that type of militaristic cold war thinking. The problem is we should be supporting Russia and China
rather than working against them and trying to get rid of Assad. The thing is the only reason why we dont even like that guy is because
he is a puppet we cant control.

That and the chemical weapons, I suppose. Also Obamas fault.

Then there is the fact also sorry for going off topic were not calling out the people who causing issues like Israel and their illegal border expansions
and let's be honest they don't need money. We should really and heavily drop the hammer down and Saudi Arabia and anyone everyone who was linked
to 9/11 since its all public knowledge now. In reality we really should be supporting China and Russia but again we aren't. Then Hillary should face
some punishment for selling our Uranium off like that let's be honest or at least something because our secrets gotten leaked it's funny because Assange
and Snowden are seen as enemies of the US while Hillary is seen as this queen or something it's not right.
