Health care reform may not happen because

[salinen]

"our" representatives want to win another term. Some are willing to sacrifice the health of millions for the sake of their job. I know who the terrorists are.

1. if i can be picky -- it's insurance reform -- not health reform. nt

[dana_b]

2. but what is so amazing...

is their constituents, who will vote these people back into office even though they vote against their interests!! :banghead:

10. "Elections" in this country are routinely fixed, determining "wins" or "losses" accordingly

[madokie]

3. Fill me in please

How in the hell can voting for a national healthcare bill that includes an option for us cause anyone to loose their seats? I don't get it

[Kansas Wyatt]

11. That's what is so mind boggling...

If they would vote for their constituents for a change, instead of Corporate America, they would find out how easy it would be to get re-elected.

4. I disagree. Something will happen and some people will get help, but

it's going to be a big candy store for the insurance companies if harsh measures aren't legislated to make them behave. I'm not holding my breath. btw What happened to all the shovel ready projects that were supposed to employ people and jump start the economy? It's seems our government is impotent to doing anything meaningful. Unemployment is up at the last report I heard this morning.

8. They are working, if those jobs were not there

the unemployment would have been worst

Truth is, not that people get this, we are getting out of the hole, but EMPLOYMENT IS A LAGGING INDICATOR.

It is leading on the way in, but lagging on the way out.

5. you water down the term terrorist in favor of melodrama

6. If The Democrats DON"T perform on Health Care.....

...they will lose support.

There are NO more EXCUSES.

The voters elected Democrats because they want CHANGE.
The MAJORITY of ALL Americans support a STRONG Public Option.

If the Democrats deliver a weak option that is not open to the Public, or worse, MANDATED coverage with NO Public Option, there will be a lot of ANGRY voters who won't support them in 2010.
I will be ONE.

The Democrats own The Presidency.
The Democrats own the Senate.
The Democrats own the House.
The Democrats OWN Health Care Reform.
They MUST produce an EFFECTIVE plan that does NOT channel BILLIONS to the Health Insurance Industry.

NO More Excuses.
