No, actually, they're just trying to get something passed to make life better for average Americans. What is irrational is to expect perfection, and then throw a tantrum when you don't get things your way.
No sir.
They're trying to get something passed that they think is best for YOU.
You're not allowed to make decisions for yourself.
I hope it is but I have a strong feeling that it isn’t. The Demarcates are trying there hardest to lose as many senate and house seats as possible. There is no other rational behind their actions.
I posted this earlier, but her it is...
Under the compromise, the public option would be removed from the bill and replaced with a new government-administered national insurance plan similar to the Federal Employee Health Benefits Plan, which serves members of Congress and federal workers.

I’m not throwing a tantrum. I just don’t like being hoodwinked. At first the debate was about healthcare reform then it shifted to health insurance reform and now this. I just don’t like how it went from universal healthcare for everyone to lets see if we can get a few extra people covered. In the long run more people will be covered and the system will be a little better. But what if you bought a Mercedes Benz got home and opened the hood and found out there was a Kia motor inside. You’ll still have a car but it wasn’t the one advertised.

That's politics, my friend. It's all about making compromises and "deals" in order to get things done. I'll take that over getting nothing at all.
They are trying to get something passed thatt gives people an OPTION.
They are taking away (taxes) from folks that have health insurance and giving (welfare) to folks that don't. It's more of the same (Medicare, which will be bankrupt soon), and it's the same system that has failed.
No place in this country will ANYONE be denied health care as it stands today.
That will change, as the LEVEL of healthcare will be denied to certain folks.

Right now everything out now is all rumors. So hopefully in the morning they’ll clarify this national insurance plan.
