@Rebel: Care to back that disinformation up? And please remember that a Rasmussen poll is not proof. I’ve seen you cite those as proof. ;-)

@Rebel

The public option does not include rationed care, those are just conservative/Republican talking points. In addition, the statement that you make that there are more people dying in Canada and Britain under their current system is wholly inaccurate and untrue.

It must be great being a wingnut and not be bogged down by facts.

@ Nicky. More people are dying under the public option in Canada and Britain than under the current system here in the US. Healthcare costs to much under our present system, but we do not deny care to those how need it. If you are sick, go to the emergency room and you will be treated with or without insurance and regardless of your ability to pay. With the public option you get rationed care and with rationed care you are going to die waiting three years for a medical procedure like you would in Canada or Britain.

@Nicky: Good for you. I wish more American’s felt the same. By the way, that’s a tremendous amount you pay for insurance. Anthem is hiking its premiums and the right defend this. Don’t ANY of them pay insurance, get denied for pre-existing conditions or just let them suck the life out of them too? Guess not. I haven’t heard them complain once. Amazing.

I think they always knew they couldn’t get enough support for the public option, well if they really wanted to they could have..At least the insurance co’s will have to stop raping people. It’s sick that so many have died due to their greed. I’m just happy that those who couldn’t be treated or checked will finally have access to medical treatment, especially children!
I pay $1200 a month for insurance and would continue to pay without a fight if it meant saving 1 persons life!!

Both NY Senators signed the letter, with Gillibrand as one of the original four signators. Even if it reached 50 or more signatures, it would be a stretch to think that it would get included in the final bill. That might be the impetus to get people like Dennis Kucinich on board, however.
Personally, I have been after Arcuri to back the United States National Health Care Act (HR 676) also known as the “Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act,” that John Conyers submitted to the United States House of Representatives quite a while ago.
