tom coburn was just on faux friends talking about his new amendment to the healthcare bill...
he wants congress to be 'forced' to accept the 'public option' in obama's healthcare plan.
apparently he thinks that will keep congresspeople from supporting the measure...
i think that EVERY democratic congressman should support the amendment ENTHUSIASTICALLY, and thank coburn for adding it.

1. Now That's Bipartisanship.......
I would just love it if this backfired on Coburn and health reform passed with a 'public option'.

2. But Dems have the majority in Congress by a rather large margin.
I don't get Coburn's thinking at all.

3. i think he's trying to "scare" them over losing their 'cadillac plan'...
i think that democrats should support it 110%, and make the public option a high quality option.
