Are you guys serious??
Kill the bill??
Hissy fit? Really? Shame on dailykos!!
The senate bill is not perfect. Far from it.
But it still contains good things that will help people that are in need.
Mandates are not popular but hey, they do manage some sort of price control.
We've never had anything close to this in healthcare..
If Nelson and Lieberman say they won't vote for the bill and ALL republicans are dead set against it and actively looking for the next angry senior to bus through a town hall meeting, what are the alternatives?
Fuck you senators, we ll do it without you? All fine and dandy but how?
Negotiate and try to find what works.
You guys get all worked up because of Dean and Kos. But for every "God" of the progressive movement, there is a Krugman, a Brown, a Rockefeller or a Weiner who says "pass the bill.".
Before you get all hoity and mighty about your "pure-all-or-nothing" healthcare reform, remember that for some of us, that might be wayyy better than what we have right now.
A bill that republicans hate so much to compare it to the Holocaust, Jonestown, Waterloo and Armageddon all together cannot be all that bad!
Chill.The.Fuck.Down.!
