The health care reform compromise that centrist Democrats and several Republicans have indicated they'd support has shown an inability to effectively lower premiums for consumers, a newly resurfaced government study shows. The U.S. General Accounting Office produced a report on cooperatives in March 2000 that was mostly sour on the idea. Using five different co-ops as examples, the study concluded that on the key function -- lowering the cost of insurance -- these non-profit insurance pools came up well short. Also, towards the end is a part about Rick Scott from "Conservatives For Patient's Rights" ? His group is responsible for alot of the mis-information ads and health care lies .They pretend to want "real reform" when what they really want is the status quo. Rick Scott, is the head of the organization, and favors co-ops .I wonder why ? His Hospital Corporation of America bilked the government by fraudulently "upcoding" Medicare billing codes, and it ended up paying $1.7 billion in penalties for stealing from American taxpayers.

Why do reporters do this. When has Obama softened his approach to the Public Option, he never has, he is strongly in favour of a Public Option but he said he is open to other ideas. That's all he has ever said. And these reporters are making out that he is always changing his mind and that is not true!

Why the hell should we compromise with the dumb fuck republitards. Their fuckwad leader Bush, in spite of losing the popular vote, never lifted a finger to reach across the aisle to Democrats. In fact his henchmen accused the left wing of being anti-American. And now these asshole republicans think we should listen to them? screw you guys, you screwed us!
