Hey, Congress!
What--you think we're just fucking around here? People across America are talking about single-payer health care. Why aren't you? Because it frightens the insurance industry? GOOD. They deserve to be frightened. Upwards of 20,000 people a year die because they are denied the care they need for the sake of profitability. Argue all you want, PROFIT DOES NOT TRUMP LIFE.

Senator Baucus: The people of your own state are watching you and they know the score. All the insurance money in the world won't help your campaign if the people think you screwed them over. You will become a FORMER Senator, and your cushy job as a lobbyist for the insurance industry won't do you any good if the people demand what you wouldn't give them.

It's not over until its over. You fail the people and they'll remember.

Remember that.

1. K&R
Nora O'Donnell almost made me snap earlier on MSNBC.
She just kept harping on cost as the only issue.

Hey Bitch, were was your fiscal concern the half decade we fought a war on credit, off the books?
