So I'm watching stupid Ed Shultz and an overwhelming number of rightwingers on his show and they are talking about how Obama took the public option for healthcare off the table and the left is pissed about it.
When the fuck did that happen? I certainly hope this is wrong but with no public option we are not going to fix the healthcare problem.
Right now the government still doesn't have the ability to negotiate drug prices, we still haven't forced insurance companies to lower premiums and cover pre-existing conditions. We haven't done shit and with no public option no reform is going to happen. Period, end of mother fucking story.
I certainly hope that these fuckers are wrong, this is one of the markers for whether I think Obama is doing a good job or not.
Also why don't we call congress anymore, I am going to complain and loudly I hope that you do the same thing. The switchboard # is (202)224-3121.
Also I know this isn't a long diary and I don't give a fuck, I want an answer to this now. Is the public table off the table or what!?! Healthcare is bankrupting me and this country and I want some real reform now!
I also DON"T GIVE A FUCK IF I AM CURSING! THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AND I"LL BE GODDAMNED IF I"M QUIET ABOUT IT.
