There’a already co-ops, so it is hard to get upset about that proposal if it would just expand them.
However, the devil is in the details....and I am sure thta any co-op proposal will likely be just the public option in other dressing.
A true co-op would not have an objection by me, but a public option in sheep’s clothing will.
That is exactly why I am not a big fan of Beck. He tries to equate both parties as the same where in fact they are not. Beck cannot reasonably argue that we would have had Obama’s 787 Billion “Stimulus” with a GOP Congress. I do not think he could reasonably argue that the GOP Congress would pass socialized universal health care. That is why I really don’t pay too much attention to Beck. He seems like a lightweight to me. But that is just my opinion.
Either she’s a useful idiot or as Socialist as the hard left Dems.
A ‘trigger’ in the minds of the left = a goal. Which means those in power can manipulate the system into a ‘failure’ that ‘trigger’s the public option - at which point the health services industry would already be in a death spiral and the road from ‘option’ to ‘obligation’ would be very short indeed.
Co-ops as politicians consider them seem to me a very shaky path. Stay vigilant - demand the opportunity to read this thing, and do you best to insist your senators and representatives read it BEFORE the vote. Make sure we understand what a “co-op” is as defined under the law before we let them sell us a yet another generational debt assignment.
Yeah. He spends a lot of time in Toronto since that's where he has much of his film post-processing done. Cheaper and takes advantage of non-union labor or so I'm told. What a POS.
A ‘Co-opt’ is communism in practice.
We’re going to have to start getting out the message that co-opts are just the Government Option by another name.
Who the hell does Snowe think she’s snowing?
The “public option” (read: government run) will drive private insurance companies out of business.
The “co-op” option (read: camouflaged “piblic option”) is the same thing. It will just take the private insurance companies longer to die.
Screw you Snowe. Damned RINO!
What an idiot Snowe is.
That or she thinks the voters of Maine are stupid enough to fall for this bait and switch.
Both?
You want a list of the crap that passed under President Bush?
We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years. The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.
The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

Does this Bride of Frankenstein wannabe really think anyone believes anything she says?
Yes, crap was passed. But one cannot equate that to socialized medicine. One cannot equate that to the type of stuff passed under the 787 Billion stimulus. We would not be having these types of debates now with a GOP Congress.
Perhaps not. But they sure opened the door and made it acceptable.
(and Nixon went to China.)
Add to that that I don’t think a cap and tax bill would have passed a GOP Congress.
Do you think it will pass a democrat congress with the loving assistance of rinos? I do.
Yeah, I understand what you say. We need to primary RINO’s and defeat them in Republican primaries. If we can’t even take over a party then how are we ever going to take over the country again? This must be done.
Thank you! Concur.
We’ll see. There are those 2 in Maine, McCain, Graham, etc. But I don’t think it would be a whole lot of them. We’ll have to see what happens.
Pray for the republic. I voted in the local primaries today. Yep, local.
Soapbox, ballot box, ... well ...
