102. Public Option For A Very Few
The bill is the best watered down bill every paid for.

What has really bothered me, and I've finally heard a few people mention it (including Senator Wyden of Oregon), is the sly way they have been phrasing things. Such as "nobody will be forced into the public option". That is true but what they don't say is that few will be allowed to get the Public option in the first place.

This is bait and switch and any other swindle phrase one can think of - and they had to be shamed into even doing this much.

Billions for wars, no problem at all. Billions for health care and it's like pulling teeth. That tells us all we need to now about how screwed up our government and a good slice of the populace is.
