Reply #27: I have heard repeatedly....

that the public option won't pass the Senate, that the public option is dead, that the public option lacks support from Blue Dogs and "centrists", but I have yet to hear a single cogent argument from those against a public option as to WHY they are against it.

Single Payer was stillborn and never got debated at all. It was abandoned by Progressives (for the most part) in favor of the compromise of the "public option". That should mark the end of compromises, period. No public option, no heath care bill passage.

No way will I be forced to pay a private insurance company who plans to put 30% of the premiums I pay into their pockets. I won't do it.
