I think the thing the opposition to Health Care is missing is that SOMETHING has to be done, and the new GOP plan to sell us all out to the insurance companies is NOT the way to go. We can say it is a moral issue, but the reality is that it is an Economic issue. There is a "bully" out there--the shareholders of the Middlemen, unaccountable to anyone...it would be comical if they didn't own us and treat us like garbage. 

 The Public option, especially the mutilated Democratic version hoping to make its way to a vote, would be no more than a foothold by the People in getting something back from the super wealthy. Tea baggers complain that we are trying to stop this theft being perpetrated on us, and they call us Socialists for trying to pull some of the Trillions they are taking from us to use for the public good.
