No arguments. A simple yes or no or explanation in your post if you feel it's necessary will suffice.
Do you support the Healthcare Bill going through the Senate?

Not the chopped up Republican ass kissing, anti-woman version that it turned into.

I hate it and I think it's crap and I also think it's a travesty that our Senators can't do better.

I'm.... "I agree we need an overhaul but this is not the right way."
My dad is livid that it says there will be no doctor ran hospitals. If a Dr. doesn't know how to run a hospital...who does? |

Yes only because the Senate bill isn't the final bill.
Unfortunately health care will not be revisited again for years if nothing is done this time. So I'll take some reforms over none. And it's easier to fix and/or build upon an existing law than it is to start from scratch which is what we are doing now. Ideally I'd prefer the option for everyone to buy into Medicare (single payer system). But that isn't going to happen anytime soon with our corporate owned Congress. |

I agree with AlextheGoob and SwanGeese (especially about expanding Medicare to cover everyone).

No. The bill has been too compromised in order to appease insurance companies and special interest groups, IMO.

I think the bill that's currently there has become such a shit-show and has so much off-task shit rammed into it that it's a joke now.

 the House gif
I don't support it because it is too watered down and caters more to insurance companies than to Americans. We need a real public option. |

Somebody (preferably not a right or left wing fanatic) give me a cliff notes version of what THIS bill is. I've tried to read up on it (summaries) but
nobody ever has a clear explanation.
