Yes and Tweety just said that the Democrats are being timid about this issue because they don’t want a primary challenge if they are seen to be against the public option.
Well here is hoping the spectre of a primary challenge and the fear of Jane Hamsher get us to a public option.
I am so happy that Schumer is standing firm. I told him that I knew several people who had such a bad experience with the for-profit (no ethics) companies, that he might as well prepare some jail cells because we wouldn’t buy from them.
