... if as a result of this, we end up NOT passing health care reform, we'll still what we have now, which clearly isn't working. Is this really what the Republicans want? More of the same, leading to collapse of the system under its own weight, and eventual bankruptcy? Has anyone actually LOOKED at their medical bill recently?
My own sister-in-law made a comment in her blog that she is loving the results of this election. ??? WTF
Don't get me wrong-- Coakley was an awful candidate, who ran a horrible campaign, and the Dems are to blame for the loss; but I have yet to see a viable alternative health care plan proposed by the Republicans. At least the Dems have a plan or two floating about, the Republicans just seem to want to block, obstruct, say "ha, ha" to Obama. All at our expense.
Shame, Massachusetts voters -- you knew there was a right choice and a wrong choice, and you made the wrong one.
Hey! My town voted 65% for Coakley, we can't help it that there were crazy ones elsewhere. But I do have to admit she ran an atrocious campaign.
As for medical bills, so far I have seen totals of over $15K so far this year, and I have months more of treatments and bills to see. Some stuff still has yet to be billed for services provided.
P.S. to Gutenberg, check the map for where Coakley did well in MA, it was not in the eastern part as you suggested would be the case.
