  • This is just my thought and i could be wrong But maybe Obama and his cabinet thought it would be better for the country if the people they elected to represent their opinion in congress were the actual heart of the change he promised. his platform was that of governmental change not just the position and authority of the president. He wanted congress to shake the rust off and actually DO something that benefits the country. He as the president should not have had to But hey you never know.

  • The first time that I have really disagreed with TYTs. This is not a strong version of the public option. As I understand it, only the uninsured can opt in and that's only if their state will allow it. The public option only works if it allows people into the program. Otherwise why would insurance companies care about the public option if no one could get into it? This is not a change from insurance monopolies. This is a another chance at reform that looks like it will fall WAY SHORT. Again.

  • This guy is a boob. Uneducated and an obama lover. They past a health care bill thats going to destroy our doctors and our hospitals. You sir are a boob. We fail to see Obama and Reeds failures and as a result your commi professors ranked Obama as the 15th best president ever. What the hell were only half way through his office and already he's God all mighty

  • where do you see in the Constitution that as a citizen you have the right to HEALTHCARE,nowhere. It is not a right ,it is your right to be safe and pursue freedom and happiness. You kids need to realize that you are on your own and MOMMY isn't going to take care of you,growup moron

  • reid is 20 points down in the polls and is dead in the 2010 election,but so are many other odumba congress members. This administration is the result of affirmative action and what a failure they are,including the demander in chief

  • Reid's gotta go. Looks like that won't be a problem. He needed all the help he could get from progressives so he went and shot them in the back for Lieberman and Obama. That's okay, though. I'm sure he can get a great lobbying job based on what a great job he's already done in that regard.

  • shouldnt TYT get credit for it too?

  • Jeffrey C Jones, the weather underground founder.If a person doesn't have insurance it is mandatory that they buy it. If they do not buy it they are fined 2.5% of their salary. If they fail to pay the fine they pay BOB $250k or face up to 5 years jailtime. You need to go suck on your mamas titty or grow up! You are a mama's boy!!!!!!!! Did you know that BOB is a homosexual? No wonder you are so fond of him. cba 1014

  • The Credit Needs to go to the people who fought for this Locally, while the Insurance companies were paying groups to BUS people in to our towns...

    ...American citizens are the real heroes.

  • Are you serious? that is the dumbest question ever....for the exact same reason your police, firefighters, etc are run by the government. Because healthcare should not be driven by profits, it is a life and death business that needs to provide. ie you cant trust big business to choose quality of life for everyone over their profits...further its only a public OPTION so what is your beef with it?

  • Please convince me how government is better than big business?

    Where does your confidence come from? I would love to be won over, but I dont see it. Our government has failed us on most all social programs - most being just a fraction of the size of this public health care.

    Can you make me feel better by pointing out just a few government run programs that are efficiently run today?

    Dont get me wrong, Im for reform, but changes in regulation and standards - not another gov social program.

  • Harry Reid is the MAN! I did not think for a second the public option was going to get in the Senate version but it looks like it will be in. I am very proud of the progressives in Senate for fighting and continuing to fight for the public option. Human life should not be subjected to the profit motive of big business and shame on those politicians who still will not do the right thing and support the public option. I agree with Cenk Obama is the #1 goat on this issue.
