We will get nothing of real value from Public Option because whatever passes will not be what we want or need. Agreeing to a non solution is not a personal option for me. We will pay in lives and livelihoods for this corporate raid on the public trust dolled up as "reform". Mutton dressed as lamb, as the Irish would say.

I prefer to champion what is needed to solve our problems and what has worked everywhere in the world for over 100 years. I don't accept that a well bribed congress tells us what we can and cannot have. They forget that they work for us. Genuine change will only happen with dogged advocacy. For me, giving up real comprehensive reform is giving in and becoming complicit in our own demise.

But of course, different lives inform differently.
We will disagree and continue to share in this situation and support one another in this trial, one and all.

Be Well anyway....keep up the good work...follow your own paths.
