Why do insurance companies have so much input into the healthcare reform debate?
Seems to me they are largely responsible for the issues and problems of our situation. I can't see how we can expect them to help solve it in any meaningful way.

Why can't the public have the same insurance that members of Congress have?
Let the citizens of this country have the same insurance we
taxpayers provide for our Congress? Why does it have to
be more complicated than that -

You have a mandate from the people. Why would you waste it by diluting health care reform?
Don't cowtow to the insurance companies. We want public health care available regardless of their lobbying efforts.

You promised us the same health plan as our legislators. Why is that off the table?
Now you want to leave "reform" in the hands of the people who are in the business to make a profit for their shareholders? Why have single payer advocates been eliminated from the health care table? The swindlers who got us here should be removed.

Why don't you just tell the GOP to go f*** themselves? They're not interested in real health reform.
The GOP is completely controlled by the "health" industry. They will never vote for meaningful reform.
But go ahead! Party like it's 1994 all over again!
