End of discussion.

We WILL get a public option, or Pelosi and Reid will be the minority “leaders.”

You represent your lobbyists well. Basically it'll be a big win-win for the Insurance Companies. They'll have an individual mandate to buy their overpriced garbage insurance plans forced on the working-class on pain of law and won't have any real competition in the form of a workable co-op plan or government-administered alterate option.

Aetna, United, Humana and Assurant stocks are probably rising right now. CEO pay and bonuses will go through the roof for a “job well done,” in getting the company-paid-for shills to these town hall meetings.

Basically we'll get more of the same, with an added “bonus” of being forced to pay for overpriced insurance from companies who will have NO constraints put upon their obnoxious practices.

Good job Grassley. You represent your lobbyists well.
