California, which died before vote because the legislature know just by looking at it that it wasn't affordable.

Abe also said this, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"

The California single payer bill passed both houses of the legislature TWICE.
It was vetoed by the governor.

I don't care what you call it; it won't make things better here.

Wow. Thanks for speaking out Honnête et Sérieux and removing all doubt.

no public option in secret baucus health plan…baucus tops congress in campaign funds from private health industry

…as sen. max baucus has taken the lead on health reform legislation in the u.s. senate, he also has become a leader in something else: campaign money received from health and insurance industry interests.

in the past six years, nearly one-fourth of every dime raised by the montana democrat and his political action committee has come from groups and individuals associated with drug companies, insurers, hospitals, medical supply firms, health service companies and other health professionals.

these donations total about $3.4 million, or $1,500 a day, every day, from january 2003 through 2008.

I believe that healthcare is a human right, along with many other rights, but I don't believe that the gov't or any other taxpayer has any obligation to pay for my rights.
I also don't believe that the definition of a right means I can behave like a drunken sailor and shout over the normal order of things.

I think this poster would not approve of the rude behavior of some at town hall meetings this month.
