No one knows whats in the plan now. The original plans had none of the worrisome things so many were terrorized by special money interests. there was nothing about "killing off granny" there was nothing about meicare goin away there was nothing about stopping anyone's existing health care. Special Money interests lied and spun because they make gobs off of what we have now.

No one knows what is in the new program, but I will bet that hardly anyone will get any healthcare that is not getting it now. no one without health care will get anything from this "program". from what i can tell it does raise some taxes, but so far seem not to offer anything most Americans need. what was wrong with a "public option"? so many of us have nothing, an "Option" was better than nothing.

there is another alternative
