9. Here's my fear...
the single-payer was watered down for the 'public option.'

Now, perhaps it's being watered down for the 'coops'...

And then the Republicans will see they've won LOTS of concessions and will water down REGULATORY MEASURES next!

It's the old, "Give an inch take a mile..." type thing from them.

As far as I'm concerned the public option was the compromise which needed to go hand in hand with strong regulatory laws and a department actually set to enforce those laws!

And we need both in order to bring jobs back to our country. So that businesses can thrive. Businesses will be able to save money on other costs they currently incur. And since the public option was suppose to be covered by everyone contributing to it, then there is no irresponsible 'tax and spend' going on. And...hey. It's the Republicans who tax the lower 98% and spend, spend, spend... It's way past time we do-away with their soundbite on taxes.
