The Baucus Bill has no public option. But it does have the odd not-for-profit Coops…which, let’s face it, are sort of like the public option, but let’s face it, too, not really.
But let’s not get all stuck on one thing.
The deal is---if BY LAW an insurance company is not allowed to turn anyone away and must continue to pay out no matter how sick someone gets, well, I am all for it.
Bring it on Baucus!
Have you ever been to his home state of Montana? Beautiful place. Almost no one lives there. Worth the trip.
Come on Health Care!
You now Senator Snowe from Maine is going to sign on.
Montana and Maine, figuring in large. It takes people from really cold places to understand the need for communal action.

I want the public option. Anything less is a COPOUT. They say the whole package would cost 900 billion over 10 years. So 90 bil a year. That's ballpark, 20% of the defense budget. We spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined even though we are less than 5% of the population. If we as a society choose to spend so much money on DEATH rather than a good LIFE then perhaps we deserve what we get? Except it's always the least powerful who pay for the sins of the most powerful. This is just INSANITY!!!! (sorry about the caps but really!).
