Excuse my language

But now I am really pissed!

I have not liked that the senate democrats have been watering down the health care reform legislation.  I admit that I have felt defeated during the last several weeks and that it didn't matter what I wrote in this blog, how many times I wrote or called my senators, the Senate Majority Leader or the White House.  Thus, I did not feel sufficiently moved to write in this blog and I turned my attention to other aspects of life.  But when the senate democrats dropped the Medicare expansion portion (allowing people 55+ years old buy into Medicare) of the newest version of the bill because egomaniac, attention-whore Joe Lieberman indicated that he was against it (despite being in favor of it a few months ago), my head exploded.  It is time to pull Lieberman's chairmanship of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.   The democrats have caved on everything that would make this an effective piece of legislation.  We are left with a bag of dead bones, the only thing alive being the requirement that we all get health insurance, a windfall for the insurance companies and a burden on many of us.  Further, there is nothing to keep them from raising the premiums through the roof.  This is a victory for the insurance industry and the republicans.  Thanks senate democrats, you have royally screwed your supporters and constituents.
