Is the Public Option on medicare going through? Am so sorry it was
watered down. Single payer is better. Looking at RM, the Senate from NY is for Public Option.

Please don't flame me, am in Canada, am just trying to understand why medical services in the US is such a big hassle.

By the way, I love all you guys!

1. It's too early to know what is happening, but it will probably be a major step
in the right direction. But first, the House and the Senate have to debate and then vote on their bills.

Thanks for caring.

2. It is a major disaster for older people, with age discrimination written right into it
It will wipe out all of my discretionary income.

3. Because Americans, by and large, are perpetual victims.
Until they decide scraps are not acceptable they will be treated as worthless as they believe they are.
