The Beginning Of The End For The Public Option
Sort by The Huffington Post (Free subscription) - 09/30/2009
Today, the Senate Finance Committee rebuffed two amendments to include the public option in its health care reform bill. The first amendment, offered by Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) went down 15-8. The second, put forward by Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), failed to pass by a 13-10 vote. So, now what? Is the public option dead? Will the fight go on? Yesterday, Democratic consultant Peter Feld assayed today's...

Imagine holding a bake sale to pay for your heart surgery

He should have held a bake sale to pay off Democratic Senator Max Baucus, the man President Obama put in charge of health care reform, who has received millions from the health and insurance lobby. Why again is Baucus "first among equals" concerning health care reform when he shouldn't even be in the room because of his conflict of interests? For all intents and purposes, Max Baucus is an industry...

The spot features a young Montana dad with heart problems who can’t afford medical care and is $100,000 in debt. “Private insurance companies need competition. They profit by denying care to people like...

Sort by the albany project (Free subscription) - 09/30/2009

By Creature With the public option up for a vote today in the Senate Finance Committee I'm ready to be disappointed, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. If Max Baucus can pull himself away from his health industry base just long enough, the public option stands a chance. And, hopefully, ads like this will make a difference:

I love this commercial via Boy Culture where an American with no health care challenges a Democrat (you heard me right) on the "Public Option." We need a public option and Democrats should not be backing down on this.

Max Baucus: Whose side are you on?
Sort by culturekitchen (Free subscription) - 09/29/2009
Sometimes I wonder about some of my fellow Democrats. Overall I'd say the Dems are a good party. The vast majority of Democrats I have personally known are good, solid progressives, pro-labor, pro-working class, pro-middle class. But there are some so-called Dems out there that...well, you just wonder whether they really are for the people or not. Take Max Baucus of Montana. Now Montana is conservative,...
