not exaggeration it went something like: "if we dont act, people will lose their insurance, people will die, jobs will be lost, people will go homeless..." maybe not exactly all those, but there were 4-6 different major, generic tragedies that will undeniably ensue. I am a bit perturbed "no bill without a public option" will be signed. So even if we can come up with a plan to make healthcare affordable without a public option, it would get nixed? dont like that thought. my final dislike was "my plan will not REQUIRE you to change your healthcare" but it sure might make it unreasonable not to. afterall, the fed program can have a nearly endless monetary loss and still exist thanks to deficit spending. how can that program NOT outcompete a private program that must exist on REAL money? caught this on my tv beforehand (minus the obvious)
