Pelosi To Progressives, Pundits: Don't Blame Us For Senate's Shortcomings

At the end, Obama emerged and kamikaze-style, rahmed through a massive corporate giveaway with no cost controls, no universal coverage, a bill guaranteed to end all public healthcare sooner rather than later. It's Bush's 'Medicare Reform Bill of 2003 - Part 2'.



The week before & the week after the healthcare bill passed in the Senate was the one & only time a PublicOption had any chance of happening until another generation passes.



A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconciliation anyway, & there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a PublicOption in it. Obama nixxed it. What was the reason?



"If the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote & there's no time!"



After the (allegedly) pro-PublicOption senators accepted that excuse & stood down, Republicans discovered 2 flaws requiring it's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the de@d of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a PublicOption?"

The ObamaAdministration will do everything it can to prevent a PublicOption, public healthcare, affordable, quality medical treatment for everyone as long as it retains the WhiteHouse, because THAT WAS THE DEAL THAT OBAMA MADE.
