wtf? How exactly is the new bill a “joke”? About as good as we coulda hoped for imo.

That is where I take issue. “About as good as we coulda hoped for imo.” is where we get into trouble. We are fighting the monumental mountains of cash which the health care industry and pharmas have dumped on OB and Congress. We should accept only the best. Any concessions mean that we are caving in to the greed of the HC industry.

We can do better. Go real “single payer”! No to co-opted “single payer”!

And as Ralph Nader has said so many times, “There are more of us than there are of them.” “Them” will try to ignore “us” until we beat “them” into the ground.

She is incredibly inconsistent in her positions and this really blows her credibility. To be credible, there has to be the perception that someone is fair in their judgments.
