As I've said time and again this is alllllll about MONEY. Repubs don't want this ONLY because it will not be THEM that gets the huge corporate dollars from insurance companies. Ideologically wise, they LOVE this bill. Dems did this THEMSELVES with Obama at the helm sending out Rahm and his other minions to twist the arms of any Dem against it even though NO Dem should be for it since it is ideologically completely backward for Dems. This is ideologically a Repub bill being slammed through by Dems in the admin, in the Senate and in the House ONLY for the corporate money.
Even the very first Dem bills with the government public option did NOTHING to bring down insurance costs, reign in insurance companies or provide the least bit of any competition with insurance companies since as Obama said himself only about 5% of people would go for the public option, not because they didn't WANT the public option but because anyone who had insurance through their job wasn't ALLOWED to use the public option - the public option was ONLY offered to those people with no insurance and who did not get insurance through their job. Dems STARTED with a plan DESIGNED to NOT do a fucking THING to lower outrageous medical insurance premiums/co-pays/deductibles or offer ANY meaningful competition for insurance companies or put any meaningful regulations on insurance companies, AND they offered BILLIONS of dollars of our tax money as a GIFT to those same insurance companies. THIS is where the Dems - and the Dems ALONE - STARTED from.
People desperately need to WAKE UP and realize the DEMS did this all by themselves completely against not only Dem ideology but against our COUNTRY's ideology since this is a FACSIST bill, and they did it for the MONEY. Any Dems against it had their arms twisted and they alone made the decision to go along for the sake of their own careers. Harry Reid even PUBLICALLY threatened that any Dem who didn't go along would be stripped of their chairmanships and effectively shut out.
