| Oh my goodness ... do we have a serious case of Liebermanitis/Naderitis with Steve Lynch here? "There's a difference between compromise and surrender, right? And this is a complete surrender of all the things that people thought were important to health care reform," Lynch told reporters. When asked what might cause him to vote for the bill, Lynch said: "There's one thing. If they put reform back in the health reform bill, that would change my position." "We're paying the ransom, but at the end of the day, the insurance companies still hold the hostages, even after this is all done," Lynch added. "This is not meaningful reform."
This is from a guy who wouldn't commit to the public option? Who had to endure the "PUBLIC OPTION" chant at the rally on the Boston Common? Now, as far as the whole notion of wanting to pull out if we're not getting more goodies for our fair Commonwealth: Let's remember that the Federal government subsidized our health insurance expansion -- that was the result of the "waivers" worked out by Ted Kennedy and Gov. Patrick. Steve Lynch: You deserve mockery. But what you need is phone calls. Cut the crap and vote for the bill. You'll get primaried otherwise. Maybe you should get a challenger anyway. |
