Reply #69: How are they going to make the tough decisions and take the moral high ground; [View All]

bucking the for profit "health" insurance industry with a 59/41 margin in the Senate when they couldn't/wouldn't do it with a 60/40 split?

Had they passed at a minimum a strong national public option, their chances in November would be improved however by passing a law which is highly unpopular across the political spectrum albeit for different reasons, what foundation can they run on, "Vote for us we rewarded the villains!?"

It's not going to happen and with each election, they will fall farther behind particularly after the next Presidential Election when the mandates actually take effect.

The insurance corporations which have just gained more power will continue to raise their premiums, find loopholes in the law and make profit from the American Peoples' injury, illness and death.

I wish I could see an upside to this law; but I can't, it's a Trojan Horse.
