rssPelosi Reiterates Support for — But Not Insistence on — Public Option

A statement this afternoon from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaves no mystery as to where the California Democrat stands on the public insurance option that’s been so contentious as the year’s health reform debate swirls on.
“A public option,” she says, “is the best option to lower costs, improve the quality of health care, ensure choice and expand coverage.”
But that’s different than saying that House Democratic leaders will hinge their support for a final bill on whether it includes such an option — like she did last month when she said, “If we’re going to have real health care reform, we must have a public option.”
This is what it looks like to walk back insistence.

A 21st Century Comedy
1. Wait until someone gets sick, fire breaks out.
We don't care swine flu & $2 trillion pandemic loss and invaluable lives, investments in vaccine cause deficit compared to big money after all.
And if we admit this common sense, in the end, we will join all of the socialist nations.
Just wait until for-profit runaway devotes colossal investments of non-profit to preventive care.
2. If you wait and get ill, just keep eating and working, no rest, otherwise, you will go bankrupt. And if the insecurity damages your mental health and spreads to a number of different diseases, it will add to the deficit.
3. Under the advanced market theory, free market even includes arbitrary, illegal malpractices, no touch. In case runaway premiums drive the enrollees out, 4C + 2R (canceling, capping, cherry-picking, cash for special, rationing, rapid premium hike) guarantee multiple times as much profit, and backers are worrying too much about our loss later on, instead of the struggling, too.
By the way, fair competition should begin with our unfair market value.
4. In terms of unnecessary tests, procedures, The more ,The better. We lose money when we embrace IT system and improve care in ways that reduce admissions
5. We share the urgent need for redesign, as long as Just-Say-No and Slow Down to shout, disrupt are guaranteed.
We as financially conservative patriots urge and urge deficit-free (except for inaction & bankruptcy).
Or let's make one more insurer-friendly competitor, it will add to the inflation.
6. When we invest in sustainable energy, just ignore the savings from the equation while the sky is falling.
If the economy is running smooth, go ahead, if not, in this economy.
7. More Cash and Better Quality (rank of 37th) is a tween, Hands Off. No Tax, No Saving, No debt. The entire world is awaiting the magic outcome.
8. Best friends, the envy of the world, still the uninsured & underinsured, disgrace all over the world.
If someone as a family gets ill, left untreated, even though we are still the richest, just sing deficit.
How about ” war on bad health ” ?, like someone said.

* THE FINE ART OF DENYING 45 MILLION AMERICANS HEALTH~CARE IN OUR JUDEO~CHRISTIAN NATION *
AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LEADERS ALL ACROSS THE USA HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON THEIR RELIGIOUS FLOCK TO CONTRIBUTE(TITHE)THEIR HARD EARNED MONIES TO THEIR MINISTRIES EVERY WEEK.
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ATTENDING RELIGIOUS SERVICES IN THE U.S. ARE MIDDLE~CLASS AND WORKING POOR CITIZENS WHO NOW DESPERATELY NEED THE HELP AND SUPPORT FROM THESE SAME U.S.RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN LOBBYING THE U.S.CONGRESS TO PROVIDE PROPER HEALTH~CARE FOR ALL POORER AMERICANS.
***THERE ARE CURRENTLY AN ESTIMASTED 45 MILLION MEN WOMAN AND CHILDREN WITHOUT HEALTH~CARE IN THE WEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD????
SILENT AMERICAN RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO ALL HAVE HEALTH~CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IS MUCH MORE FRIGHTENING THEN THE POSSIBLE DENIAL OF A FUTURE HEALTH~CARE PLAN FOR ALL…
