President Barack Obama told Congress Wednesday the public option would be part of an insurance exchange for last-resort coverage. Obama said the Congressional Budget Office estimates that less than 5 percent of Americans would sign up. (Sept. 9)

  • If there is no public option in this new reform he will not get my vote again.

  • You're kidding right? We need to take to the streets and march against Obama the same way we marched against Bush.

    This is probably worse than the Iraq War, because without a public option, Obama is killing millions of Americans and shoveling their money to his insurance company puppet-masters.

    Don't forget, the insurance companies donated a record amount of money to Obama, they own him.

    We must STOP this lunatic O-Bush-bama by any means necessary!

    Private health insurance companies BOUGHT out the public option.... I"m hearing back room deals were made before the debate even began.... Obama knew very well no public option was gonna be there from the start.... MILLIONS could have benefited from it.... sad sad pathetic stuff... NOW there gonna force us to buy private insurance..... LMAO..... uh huh... good luck with that.... I don't support companies that kill my fellow Americans....

  • Today one year after Health Care reform was signed into law, this speech is now a Fairy Tale... Those were the good old days. Maybe he should've pushed for the American public to get the same health care that members of congress have. We can all still dream. Can we still hope that he grows a backbone?

  • He fought against this option! If he couldn't pass this with a majority in the Senate and Congress, it was because he didn't want to!

  • where is our Universal HC

  • yeah public option public option public option public option

    1st House Vote and Final Vote

    No Public option

    he is such a f*ing liar

  • lies

  • Won't back down huh? My ass...

  • @Snickerdoodle8889 Hmm, that's fine.

  • @eagillum Free? are you serious? who the hell do you think is going to pay for your free healthcare? when should I start writing personal checks to all the freeloaders out there??? It's free to the people that refuse to work and EARN what they feel they need....it's not free to those of us that have to take up the slack for them.

  • I didn't understand any of that but free health care is always a good idea. I can't imagine paying for doctor's bills.
