I have to apologize to all of you. In researching the Health Care Reform Bills I was reading a bill I thought was the Reconciliation Bill, I found it on The Thomas Library of Congress Website as H.R. 4872. It turns out that this is not the right bill. Which means that sections I posted on the public option are wrong. The real text of the bill can be found here: www.opencongress.org/house_reconciliationwhich matches up with the CBO scoring of that bill found here: www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/113xx/doc11355/hr4872.pdfSo all in all I fucked up big and am sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.

I thought it had a doohickey in there that would let the public buy into Medicare. I haven't really read the bill passing thread so I don't know if it's been covered, but that may be something worth considering.

I heard we still do have a public option, just not as good as originally proposed.

Goddammit, I was having so much fun watching Skyfire shit himself. Well the bill still passed with all the other good things in it, the subsidies, no more life time limits ect. So Sky will still bitch.......manly because Fox News will tell him to.

I'd be shocked if Fox News didn't act like the public Option was in just to piss people off more. They're the baby killer people, after all.

I find this whole thing to be like a surreal circus show. What the hell man, I don't even understand why the Republican senators are so vehemently against providing their constituents with another health option.
Agh. Nevermind. I just... Don't get it.

One second, government is totally incompetent and can't compare to corporations. The next second, government is too efficient for any corporation to compete, and it'll put everyone out of business. The trick is to believe in both at the same time, so you have a government choice that completely sucks ass, but people will still flock to it for no apparent reason, and put "the best health care system in the world" out of business.
