Well, just tried to capture some of his points as he talked live on msnbc just now.
Seems he does not agree with killing the bill anymore.
His points down below.
Hope someone has better copy or a transcript, i had to do it as he talked.
thanks to capt underpants i think this is the video. It will take me an hour to watch so someone please tell me if it isnt the correct one? Norah roberts interviews Howard Dean
i have no idea how to embed from rawstory
he just said that it should pass, he now wants it to pass
-said the changes he wanted from his MTP interview have been made..named at least 3 of them
-said that rockefeller amendment is huge
-states still have the right to make the bill better too
-says that disappointed in no PO but best that can be expected
-cost panels with teeth in them now (3 of them)to regulate costs by insurance co
-hospitals can be self exmpted (sounded positive but missed part)
-great thing in bill with how they treat small business
-he agrees with feingold about wh and PO
Update: To those who are arguing he never said "kill the bill" hat tip to JSFOX for this from The Hill
The gauntlet from Dean — whose voice on health care is well respected among liberals — will energize those on the left who are mobilizing against the bill, and make it tougher for liberals to embrace the emerging proposal. In an excerpt Kinzel gave me, Dean says:
"This is essentially the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate. Honestly the best thing to do right now is kill the Senate bill, go back to the House, start the reconciliation process, where you only need 51 votes and it would be a much simpler bill."
Thanks a lot for the rec list, I sure didn't expect it with this badly typed diary as i was trying to listen, type and not miss anything at the same time, just wanted to get the information out that he wants it passed and his opinions on the changes and the good.
As thanks and happy holidays, here is a wonderful end of a woman dreaming a dream, from a nobody to a triple platinum album..singing with her idol on her own christmas special, Susan Boyle and Elaine Paige doing a duet-btw the whole special called the susan boyle story is worth watching:
Whether singing or politics, dont give up on your dreams, they will come true, just may be a few stumbles along the way
argh...how do i embed youtube?
