Are You Going To Re-Elect Baucus The Bribed?

His idea for health care reform:

(from berni_mccoy's diary)

- No public option / uses coops instead
- Expands medicaid eligibility for broader income brackets
- Health Insurance Exchange is now state driven
- Mandatory Insurance
- Employers are not required to provide insurance (this is extremely cruel with the mandatory insurance)
- Since most employers will now be dropping their plans, individuals will have to buy their own... rates can vary as much as 7.5 - to - 1. That is the most expensive rate based on age and illness can be 7.5 times more expensive than the cheapest one.

Sounds like this was written by a for-profit insurance company. (oh, yeah. It was.)

Is this guy going to be re-elected?

Since I don't live in Montana, I can't vote for or against Baucus, but I can damn sure try to do something about grassley.

...

Baucus the Bribed.

I have been wanting to throw it out there, but I thought a little decorum was in order.

He threw out the decorum with his healh care reform ideas.

I figure he is working on shoring up a comfy retirement on my dime.

is already giving him campaign contributions.
