A Message From Congressman Anthony Weiner
Yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office, the agency we look to to
figure out the financial impact of a bill announced that the proposal
making it’s way though the senate will cost $829 billion. For that
much money, you’d expect a pretty good bill. But sadly it comes up
short.
It doesn’t include a public option, so it should not be passed.
Unless we include a public option, it will be impossible to ensure
that all Americans will be able to choose quality health care they can
afford. Only a public option can provide real competition to
insurance companies that pay billions each year in overhead and
advertising in order to line the pockets of shareholders.
What do you think?
Anthony
