Chuck Todd reporting on Hairballz that the Baucus draft is THE White House Plan
Cost down to $800B

A coop will be the "public plan"

And all the other CRAP that Baucus has written




I am NOT saying this is true, but if it is .......

1. Did you see it at 5 pm?
Because, if you haven't, you have SUCH a treat in store.

Watch for the GOPig Congressman, Culberson, from Texas.

Lawrence does good.......................

2. How many times has he been right - not often.
He projects wishful thinking a lot.

3. Rockefeller spoke about co-ops
They haven't been studied for efficacy outside of the northwest and they don't know how in the hell they could ever be strong enough to compete with corporate health insurance. So, Jay R. said we couldn't possibly foist this on a vast number of people right now.

If true, this is very, very bad news. Let's hope Chuckles is talking out of his ass. Again.

10. On at least 2 occasions Obama has said he is open to Co-Ops
Here comes a Republican Plan all wrapped up in Democratic
Clothing. In 2 years people will be up in arms in disappointment.

The Fox Panel supposed Democrats have been correct all along.
They have predicted no public option , possible Co-OPs.

It frost me to say that but it is true.

6. I don't believe a damn thing Chuck Fraud says
But if Obama signs a piece of shit co-op bill, then HE becomes the one who killed health care in this country. And he will have sealed his defeat in 2012.

8. what the hell do co ops do!! the whole point here is the size of the pool...
the larger the size, the better the savings for all who are part of that pool. that's why a small business person such as the lady that had 7 employees pays so much more than a large corporation with thousands... or the federal government plan which has lots and lots of participants. the more you have, the better for everyone. why do people not GET THAT!!

He also said the majority of senators on Bacchus' committee favor a public option.
