Poll question: Sense of the Underground: Will we or won't we get something better?

Yes, the bill that the Senate shafted .... er .... crafted ...... is not all that.

But there remain steps. In the end, will we see about the same? Better? Worse?

1. Rep. Weiner moments ago on Countdown: "This bill has gotten steadily worse since it began."

5. They are adding mandatory "Pledge of Allegiance"

to be held every morning at all hospitals.

Fines for not standing or wearing a hat.

3. "Can we get something better" is a better question.

Most of the developed world has something better, it can be done.

I'm in tears tonight over the fact that, as the bill is right now, older people with existing conditions could be charged a whole lot more for insurance. This terrifies me.

7. If people say more than "NO"

Still waiting for door to door campaigning, telling people why we need a public option. THEY are campaigning against everything, it's all over television. Why does the left not know how to campaign.

8. bury it- its putrid and rotting

kill the bill, start over, it'll get all gutted and messed up again soooooooooooooooo, then we'll kill it again - guess what -next bill up? HCR again and again and again till it either hurts so much (no other legislation PERIOD, nadda, no money for wars, nuthin, state aid? nope, nadda - then we'll see who starts actually WORKING) or, they get it right.
