Health Cantwell To Vote For The Baucus Bill

Posted by on Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 11:05 AM

The bill doesn't include a public option—though Cantwell did try, and fail, to attach one via the amendment process—but, Washington's junior senator says, it's a "start."

the big news is that the GOP tried to roll Snowe (R-ME) by threatening to remove her committee chair - and she responded that if she left the party they couldn't stop ANYTHING.

lol. Rush must be furious.

well, since we are looking for mandates that everyone will have to deal with: what happens if you don't get our manadatory insurance coverage (which we will have to pay for) Are they going to jail us? Drag us on the street and shoot us?

Seriously, anything less than Universal Healthcare is a blow job to the insurance industry.

@5 - the drug companies don't think so - most market insiders are offloading Big Pharma and Big Insurance stocks today.
