totally agree with you. i caught the interview w/ kucinich on-line and his responses actually cleared up some of my questions. at first, i was getting all excited about the passage of this bill - without knowing certain facts. then, i got a little suspicious when obama was so gung ho about it. i'll admit that i voted for obama (it was either him or mccain ...) and i have been somewhat disappointed to see him falling in line as yet another "corporate man".

so yeah, what's good about this health care reform if there's no public option? all they're doing is guaranteeing the insurance companies MORE CUSTOMERS!! if they were to include a public option it would provide some sort of competition and a little incentive for the other companies to lower their prices. without it ...?

so as far as i'm concerned the kucinich's a rebel. a rebel is someone who'll stand up and voice his opinion in the face of slobbering hordes; a rebel won't back down when he feels the truthfulness of his conviction. i don't know if you've noticed but the dems are so amped about passing this that they're going after almost every dem who opposes the bill!

kucinich stands a chance of being maligned, villified - demonized! - and being labeled a 'kill-joy'! yet, he believes that he's right in his criticism of the bill as it stands now and he's not backing down. i give him MAD PROPS!kuciinich stated his position clearly and the reasons behind it - AND THEY MAKE SENSE!!
