Here we are on the point of getting a public option. There's no discussion on Slog, there's no weighing of pros (um, take what we can get) or cons (fuck man, why can't Obama and dems get votes for a real public option, not just one for the uninsured and not with the opt out? what is WRONG with us we can't achieve the basic minimal standards of Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and about 30 other nations)?
(Because our progressive get all woo-ha about a progressive candidate during an exciting election year, 2008, then they get all pissy about DADTm then they drop out and concetnrate on stupid fucking bullshit like farting and throwing more farting around if people say it's stupid, and it's all as supid and juvenile and the most idiotic red necked cracker in Arkansas -- letrally the Capitol Hill version of Beavis and Butthead).
Grow the fuck up. Who wants to read this crap?
Also: Ask them to remove the Eshoo amendment in the House bill that would ban brand name biologics from ever being available as generics. It means sick people who can't afford brand-name biologics would never be able to get them as generics.
Please CALL your Representative today at (202) 224-3121! And if you can, please write letters to the editor starting today about the Eshoo amendment, (http://my.barackobama.com/page/speakout/…) and why it MUST be removed from the final conference bill. And in the letter, please ask your Representative and Senator to remove this provision from the bill.
