So the long awaited Baucus Bill is out there. Spineless bit of 'trying to appease' the repubs, find common ground and all that garbage.
I find it offensive that the bill expects to FINE people for not puchasing health insurance, but the only option for us to have insurance is to hand our money to the POS's at the helm of United, Blue Cross et al. The schmucks who would kill a person for a 10-cent increase in their freakng stock portfolios. The schmucks who believe 'being a victim of domestic violence is a pre-existing condition", the assholes who will not treat your cancer because you've had acne....
Fuck you, Baucus and the rest of you spineless dems out there for this yet another insult to the people who voted you in office, the people who rallied behind the new administration like they've never rallied before. Take you bill and your insurance exchanges/coops/pools or whatever the hell you want to call them, you know, the middle man funnelling more of our money to the insurance monopolies, and stick it up your collective asses.
Is there one of you out there, in that fab gang who isn't in it for re-election, ego, being liked, but to do the right thing? Because you all know that MANDATORY health insurance coverage without a PUBLIC OPTION is unconscionable. You've always known that. But you are weak, and scared, and therefore, useless.
At least the other side has their convictions, that don't change as the wind blows, only with each new Beck segment. At least they have balls.
