"There isn’t really much to add, but in the interest of super-full disclosure, perhaps Maudlin Max should have mentioned that during the time Ms. Fowler was away from his senatorial side, she served as VP for Public Policy and External Affairs at WellPoint—one of the nation’s largest for-profit insurance providers.

It was the Fowler-authored Baucus plan that memorialized the secret deals that the White House cut with PhRMA, the AMA, the device manufacturers, the hospitals, and the insurance industry. We knew, even before Max’s Senate well confessional, that Fowler had written the bill because her name was mistakenly left on some pages of the electronic version of the document"

Shame on you, Max Baucus, for hiring an insurance company lobbyist and paying her with public funds. Shame on you for foisting an insurance company health care plan on the American people.

An, Liz Fowler -- to you, no, thanks. Liz Fowler, you should be ashamed of yourself. You have done a disservice to the American people.

And, DUers, let's keep pressing Congress to pass a public option to cut costs.

4. Yes... DUers keep working on efforts to ammend this new health care law

to include a public option.

5. I propose that henceforth we refer to the current bill as the Wellpoint Bill.
