Healthy debate on health care at Inslee's forum in Edmonds

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Inslee called a public option “fundamental.” He said it would help increase competition and lead to lower costs of insurance coverage.

“I will fight for it,” he said, eliciting cheers and boos.

At different times Sunday, opponents interrupted Inslee's comments, and once booed loud enough that he stopped speaking.

“I'm not done yet,” Inslee said. “For those trying to shout me down, I won't be intimidated.”

Glad he showed some cajones. I didn't attend the meeting for fear I'd end up pummeling the hell out of a teabagger and get arrested in the process.

1. Thanks for the update

I didn't go either as I wasn't sure I'd be able to navigate. I'm mobile but unsteady. My SO also was concerned that I'd be on the news screaming and yelling and bopping tea baggers on their noggins with my crutches. I'm proud that Jay is my rep...wish I felt as good about Patty and Maria.
