Seems to me they are largely responsible for the issues and problems of our situation. I can't see how we can expect them to help solve it in any meaningful way.

Let the citizens of this country have the same insurance we
taxpayers provide for our Congress? Why does it have to
be more complicated than that

Don't cowtow to the insurance companies. We want public health care available regardless of their lobbying efforts.

I want to see the progressive caucus submit a bill to create a new prescription drug benefit in Medicare Part B with no extra monthly premium, no extra yearly deductible, no means test, no coverage gap and to remove the existing part B means test and cover 80 percent of the cost of all medications so a person can go to a pharmacy, show their medicare card and pay only 20 percent of the cost of medication as if they went to a doctor.

The devil is in the details. Which 'public option' alternatives represent real, meaningful health care reform?

Now you want to leave "reform" in the hands of the people who are in the business to make a profit for their shareholders? Why have single payer advocates been eliminated from the health care table? The swindlers who got us here should be removed.

The GOP is completely controlled by the "health" industry. They will never vote for meaningful reform.

But go ahead! Party like it's 1994 all over again!

I want nothing to do with Allopathic mediince and the drug companies. How do we insist that real holisitc medicine such as Naturopathy, Oriental medicine, etc. are included.

Yeah... lip service doesn't work on me. How much does it cost to buy representation?
