Lloyd Doggett at Health Care Reform Forum part 2

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett got a rousing reception from about 2,000 supporters of health care reform at a forum in downtown Austin on Saturday afternoon.

The event, sponsored by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org, drew enough people to pack the sanctuary of the First United Methodist Church near the Capitol as well as two other nearby spillover sites with people still left on the sidewalks.
"Your presence indicates we are not going to back down," Doggett, D-Austin, said.

He urged the crowd to push for the inclusion of a new public health care option in the legislation. Support for that provision has wavered in recent weeks, and some lawmakers have suggested a nationwide health care cooperative as an alternative to the public option.

"Let's not be co-opted," Doggett said.

What a liar! You can keep your insurance, your doctors. Ha! The insurance companies will be driven out of business, and there are not enough doctors to accomodate all these :new customers. That's when you will see RATIONED HEALTH CARE for sure. Where are all these new doctors coming from? Since the lawyers with their huge lawsuits have made malpractice insurance so expensive. WHAT WAS NEEDED WAS TORT REFORM, first and foremost. WAKE UP PEOPLE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
