We sure do need him!!! and I think he will be instrumental in getting this passed. Notice that the reporters, including the one quoted here seem capable of using only one title at a time. It's DNC Chairman DOCTOR Howard Dean who is obviously not getting his pockets lined by the insurance industry. He's sharp and quick-minded enough to call out and stop his interviewer in mid-sentence when she casually slipped in an untruth in her question to him. He's a good messenger for single payer!!

I see that the breaking news right now is that Obama is abandoning the Public Option. I am very very disappointed.

I'm disappointed(but not surprised) in AARP. They lead Obama to think they supported him and when he announced it they turned around and denied him. In the end, AARP is just another insurance company which is why I've never joined.

My son is 40 years old, drove forklift in a warehouse for 2 years and had insurance before being layed off last Chrismas, losing his health insurance.
I went to the NASCAR race Sunday with a friend who is 56 years old
and has been layed off from an engineering job for almost 2 years,and has lost his health insurance.
What will the Democrats' bill do for these people??

The final bill is not drafted yet. My understanding is that those who have no insurance and can not afford to get it or medical attention will receive free services. A public option(not co-ops) will provide low cost, not for profit health care to anyone who needs it and wants it. It will require that all providers to give coverage and services to everyone without considering pre-existing conditions which is extremely important especially to those who are in the second half of their life. The proposals put forth would allow workers to take their insurance with them when they leave for whatever reason.
I have a question? How is private insurance working for the millions of out of work and under-employed Americans. It sure was a rotten deal for me! AND an insurance doctor in Nebraska was able to decide, sight un-seen, that my 3 doctors here in Michigan were wrong and denied me benefits. I was fired a month later for health reasons.

Question: Does anyone know if an absent Senator can give his proxy vote to another member? If so is it possible that President Obama will bring back Ted Kennedy's proxy when he visits in Teddy in MA on Sunday?

A Senator cannot vote by proxy.
