It's an absolute bare-minimum healthcare bill, and yes it's what should be expected from a big-tent party, but it's not what I want and it's not what we need. Because we're moving too slowly on this, people that would be living under single-payer are dying under free-market. People are going bankrupt. This is not an acceptable situation and I feel I was mislead by the Democrats on the inclusion of a public option. That public option was supposed to be the step that finally got us on the road to universal healthcare, much the same as a public option has done so elsewhere.
