Howard Dean on Countdown just now, making a clear and compelling case for saying no to the Lieberman-wrecked Senate bill:
Dean's two central points: (1) Saying it's "now or never" on health care reform presents a false dichotomy. Our health care system is in crisis, he says. We need to fix it now, it won't be another twenty years before we get the chance if the Senate bill fails. (2) The Senate bill fails to reform the system; indeed, it expands the current system which is already failing because it is too expensive.
Dean's bottom line: Don't give up on the fight for real reform. Say no to the Senate bill, and get something real done.
