  • this is very important..pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...contact your senators and reps..now

    cause once the change is made..we are going to be stuck with it for a long time!!!

    "Snowe's "trigger" or any other -- the public option will be very hard to revive. The White House must now insist on a genuine public option. And you, dear reader, must insist as well.

    This is it, folks. The concrete is being mixed and about to be poured. And after it's poured and hardens, universal health care will be with us for years to come in whatever form it now takes. Let your representative and senators know you want a public option without conditions or triggers -- one that gives the public insurer bargaining leverage over drug companies, and pushes insurers to do what they've promised to do. Don't wait until the concrete hardens and we've lost this battle."
