How low can you go. [View All]

So when I heard there would not even be an attempt at single payer I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.

When I heard there would be a fine if I couldn't afford the mandatory insurance policy that was going to be forced on me I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get my pony, so I lowered my expectations.

When I heard that the "robust" public option would be reduced to "some sort of public option" I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.

When I heard that the public option was going to be replaced with lowering the medicare eligibility age to 55 I bitched. I was told I was a whiner who didn't get his pony, so I lowered my expectations.

Today when I heard that the insurance companies are celebrating their VICTORY on the health insurance bill, I'm writing this thread. I'm not going to bitch, that would be pointless, because I know there are a ton of people here who will be happy to lower their expectations once again and cheer this gift to the insurance industry.

Frankly I'm done lowering my fucking expectations. If I lowered them another inch I'd be a fucking Republican.
