My husband and I watched this video from The Ed Show. It was tough to watch, but the bottom line is that they all caved in, they did.
First cave, the behind the door, in the heat of the night deal with the pharmecutical companies. This deal restricts the United States Government from negotiating for cheaper prescription drugs from other countries. The same kind of deal that the Bush Administration did with Medicare D and Barack Obama chastised this decision repeatedly on the campaign trail. But, oops, he did the same thing.
This White House also believes that if they pass ANYTHING and slap a REFORM sticker on the bill, their poll numbers will go up. They are really in LA-LA land. This is 2009, not 1993. Don't insult people, especially many who voted for you and know what the deal is.
Yeah, this is tough to hear but after what has gone down with this health care insurance bill, it all adds up. Because all these Democrats CAVED IN. Period.
