This bill helps a lot of poor people. (none / 0)
There is no question this bill will help a lot of poor people get health coverage, unfortunately at the expense of the tax payer and to the profit of the health insurance industry.  It's a bad bill, because it doesn't lower costs, it doesn't stop the problem of pre-existing claims and it penalizes healthy people who must buy something they don't need.  Better to support Grayson's new bill.  There is a gathering movement among progressives in Congress to fight for a medicare enhanced bill which in the end is the only that makes sense.  That's where progressives need to put their effort.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Worry, they will come back to it. Oh and of course we won't know who "they" are, it could be Reps who come back to this bill. The Grayson bill would bill awesome, but instead we are focusing on something that if it DOESN’T get updated it will even fail to help the initial poor over a few years.
