2. I have mixed feelings about it. I thought "well that brings the Country into unity

6. Without cost containment, we lose anyway. We need the public option for
cost containment.

Otherwise, it'll just be billions of "subsidies" to Pharma and Insurance along with mandatory insurance.

5. Mine is Giffords
She's not on the list, but Grijalva and Pastor from Az are. I wrote Giffords and asked her to get behind the PO, but all I received was a form answer.
