Did Obama Punk Out to the GOP & Insurance Companies? - Public Option is Outta Here
Submitted by Southern Dave on Mon, 2009-08-17 12:19I am here in Washington, DC this morning and all this weekend the buzz is Obama has already cut a backroom deal with the insurance companies and skittish Senators. He seems determined to once and for all publicly derail the Public Option. Translation: people are now at the mercy of insurance companies. Translation: a whole lot of folks are about to be screwed royally.
If Obama backs out as indicated it will mean a loss and hence you can expect all other controversial measures including Immigration Reform to be off the table. You can also expect a more aggressive GOP. In spite of being the minority they will be even more emboldened and may actually push to put the smash on people even more.
