...pass an individual mandate without appropriate safeguards to protect the working and middle class. And, by revolt we mean more than is already taking place.

If Congress is going to water down the public option they need to also give up the individual mandate or raise the financial hardship provision to only include those that make more that 500% the federal poverty level.

Making the working class purchase health insurance without it being affordable is plain wrong.

Sincerely,

__________ (affirm by reply below).
