Maxine Waters unequivocally says there will be no support by Progressives for any health care plan that does not have a public option in it. She notes that the Democrats have already compromised - and that was not pushing for single-payer and letting a public option be included.

1. She sounded incensed that their willingness to compromise early on is being taken advantage of

Look how fast she said 'NO'

5. Of course we compromised
You guys are acting like we have a filibuster proof majority or something.

If the Democratic Party was a poker player that had a Royal Flush, they would fold their cards and probably lose the farm on a guy bluffing with a pair of twos.

6. I would rather have the status quo than that piece of shit "compromise".
Ms Waters is one of the "good guys".

8. Exactly. Under what is on the table now,
The average person has to fear penalties, and perhaps more of the same old managed care.
