Lindsay Graham is saying the Senate Finance Committee has abandoned any public plan.

So that's the end of it, then? If I want Medicare for All I need to take to the streets and protest aggressively like an Iranian green revolutionary?

1. Why does Graham decide?

[sharesunited]

2. I didn't take it as him deciding.

He was just reporting what the committee had determined.

3. Sounds good to me.. what's our color.. Red.. like the killing that happens everyday

because these fucks don't think its important for Americans to access healthcare.

[billyoc]

4. You always had to take to the streets for it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. If that true are muricans going to seat on asses or take to the streets in mass?

My bet, sit on asses. That is our modern history.

6. Since when did we start believing Lindsay Graham? n/t

7. Abandonment implies that it was previously embraced

or even seriously considered by Mr. Baucus (D-MT). Yeah right. In a related story the Los Angeles Lakers have abandoned any plan to sign me to play power forward next season.

8. They are eventually going to have to conference with the house.

I hope the house doesn't back down. Obama is going to have to declare war on the insurance industry.

[get the red out]

9. Lindsay Graham

Needs to be caught with his pants down (or someone else's pants down); I am sick of this little turd.

10. The Dems need to capitalize on this - the Repubs are nonresponsive to what their constituents

want. 50% of republicans said they want a public option alongside of private insurance - more than were against it. 87% of Dems said they wanted it. (72% of all surveyed).

The Republicans are not interested in being responsive to what the people they represent want. Why not? That's the message to get out in the public sphere.
