Better than nothing healthcare reform?

I'm sure many will think the victims of our for profit system of healthcare should be thankful for this bill. Is it better than nothing? Well we won't even know until 2019 and even then, should we celebrate better than nothing? I say thanks for almost nothing and I can't wait for several years for this garbage to take effect. This bill is the best these politicians could do considering they are not just in bed with the foxes but continuously legitimize a system where the hens are guarded by the foxes. Let the "American Idiot" join them in their victory laps. Those of us sick and injured by the for profit system wish we were strong enough to rain on your funny parade. But that's what happens when the sick and weak are left to defend themselves. These fool did not get what we wanted done, they were obstructing us real reformist all the way. Thanks for keeping an army of useless bureaucrats who called themselves HMOs. Thanks a trillion. Maybe we should forget how single payer advocates were disenfranchised by the Obama administration. Maybe we should ignore his defense of the industry because of economic reasons. Maybe we should ignore he made a secret deal with Pharma even before the "debate" started. Maybe we should forget his chief of staff referring to us as "fu@%ing retards". Maybe we should ignore all of us that are sick and injured and hardly in shape to defend themselves while we suffer and die. Or maybe not. For those of you for which this is some kind of interesting debate, it will be easy to just move onto the next interesting debate. But for those of us whose needed healthcare elude us it can't be over; and it will never be until we discard this for profit system of healthcare. Int he mean time everyone should read the attached fact sheet and see the truth about this hilarious "health care bill".

Public option: In Pelosi's hands

Another point for the newest sport in congress. Pretend to be on the people's side and get paid selling them out. Progressive need to clean our leadership ranks with REAL Pregressives. Let kick the "Change You CAN"T Believe On" out.
