We know we have no right to ask. After all, you are not a Democrat. But nevertheless, the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party has a request of you.
More below the fold.
Please Senator Sanders. Please, we are begging. Save the Democratic Party from itself.
You of all Senators know what a useless exercise this so-called Health Care Reform Bill is.
It won't stop insurance companies from charging ridiculous premiums, or paying its executives ridiculous salaries or paying for ridiculous overhead with our health care dollars.
It won't lower costs. It will increase costs, because the insurance companies will be uncontrolled as they are now in increasing costs.
It won't stop insurance company death panels from denying care, as they do now.
It won't stop insurance companies from denying coverage. They will do this anyway and we the little people will still get stuck with the bill and then have to sue the insurance companies. That will work.
It will massively increase insurance company profits by requiring everyone to buy insurance.
It won't let us import drugs from Canada so that other countries are paying their fair share of research costs.
It will provide huge profits to drug companies by having the government pay a larger part of the obscene prices charged to seniors.
Need I go on.
Please, please, save us. Please announce your vote to filibuster this bad bill. You are not a Democrat. You have no allegiance to the non-leaders of the Senate.
Please save the American public from this bad bill. Please announce your filibuster vote and stick to it.
No bill is much better than this bad bill.
Your adoring liberal supporters.
