Baucus is a corrupt senator. His whole explanation still did not answer why Single Payer is still not in the legislative process. All he says is single payer is still not an "American solution".

BTW, he fails to mention that he takes millions of dollars from big health insurance lobbies and big pharma. What a disgrace.

Too many Reps and Dems are taking money from the healthcare industry. No way can they be objective. Tthe healthcare industry has tons of money, much to lose with a universal and especially a single payor plan and they will stop at nothing to get this defeated. BTW--can we eliminate those useless drug reps who make far too much money to push drugs that they don't know crap about and we all pay for their cute clothes and nice cars everytime we fill a prescription.

The GOP-DEM Corp Crime Family owns Max Baucus as well. After criminal CEOs & CFO's defeat US healthcare again, by the Dem -GOP Crime Family fully insured gold-plated....I can't wait for their Dem-GOP Crime Family of pro-corpoate criminals to be butchered on a niceday in public dragged from offices, homes and cars & from behind taxpaid security thugs to face real and tangible American Revolution-French Style like the reign of terror they bring to Amercians 75% wanting govt. healthcare. Go Fox!

The current plan is to start with a public option, that will destroy private insurance offerings and rapidly force a single payer system. Unfortunately America has woken up to this fact so passing this fast is of utmost importance. Support for Obama's health care schemes is crumbling rapidly. Hurry!!!

Bacus has not only backed off of single payer, that fucker is trying to back off of the public option plan. He and others are putting their love of lobbyists money ahead of the American people. We have to unite and fight!

Max, I have read the constitution. No where did I read "The divine right for health insurance companies to exist and extort money from Americans".

Obviously your need for money & power are paramount to the needs of majority of Americans who desire single payer health care.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.We need to protect our country from people in the government like you. Put up a red light out side of your office. You are what you are, be proud of it Max.

Baucus is a frightened weasel on the insurance and pharmaceutical company payrolls. His response is absolutely PATHETIC and he is a traitor to democracy by not giving the single payer advocates a seat at the table. Let's remove his seat at the table and see how he likes it.
