If years from now, you're wondering what went wrong, remember this.
Two key senators criticized the most recent healthcare compromise Sunday, saying the policies replacing the public option are still unacceptable. Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) both said a Medicare “buy-in” option for those aged 55-64 was a deal breaker.
“I’m concerned that it’s the forerunner of single payer, the ultimate single-payer plan, maybe even more directly than the public option,” Nelson said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Lieberman said Democrats should stop looking for a public option “compromise” and simply scrap the idea altogether.
Yeah, yeah, I know, but Obama this, Obama that. Someone explain me how threatening these shameless motherfuckers with stripping them of their chairmanships would have done any good if they have the fucking balls to go on the Sunday talk shows and basically go on the record saying that anything even remotely close to helping citizens with any form of a public option is a deal breaker.And Lieberman takes offense at being called the "Senator from Aetna"?! FUCK YOU!!!

I admit that I flip the bird at the Aetna every time I drive past it.
I don't know how they can sleep at night or look themselves in the mirror - no compassion for those who need healthcare reform (all of us) or conscience at disregarding the wishes of the vast majority of Americans. It's shameful.
