Are they perfect as currently written? No
Have they asked for input from citizens? Yes, they have.
Are the citizens helping create a better plan? A few try, but most are not.

Don't you get it? The pharmaceutical industry is spending $150,000,000,000 to promote the Democrat's plan. Why would they do that? AARP is promoting principles of the plan so they can get their share. It isn't about health care. It never was. It's about money and control of voters. With public option they can justify all sorts of taxes, fees and fines. That money will go to pay for votes while our citizens, and other groups, die on waiting lists. It's a huge scam.

It's a scam to us. It's a cash cow to big pharma and the insurers that the government will use in their pool.

More people on unemployment = less people that can buy insurance/drugs on their own.

I think we are winning in this "race to the bottom".

it certainly is a sad state when people can't even trust their own elected government officials to represent them fairly.

instead, congress is getting rich with back door deals with big money corporations to represent them instead of the people.
