House Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Says Bill "Unacceptable" Without Government Plan

By Philip Klein on 9.29.09 @ 7:49PM

Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, co-chairman of the House Progessive Caucus, reiterated through a representative Tuesday evening that any health care bill that does not include a government plan will be "unacceptable."

I emailed the congressman's office earlier to get a reaction to news that the Senate Finance Committee rejected two proposals for a "public option."

"The Congressman feels that any legislation without a public option is unacceptable and he will not support such a plan," spokeswoman Natalie Luna Rose wrote in an email.

I am tempted to say "Fool" but I won't...
You know, there is legislation afoot to make so called "hate speech" to apply to the internet. So by saying "damn Republicans" you are probably doing that!
Remember: this is NOT about health care; it is only about power and staying in office indefinitely.
the House Progressive Caucus is a bad name.
Why don't we call it what it is: House Socialist Caucus or better yet: House Communist Caucus.

" ... Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, co-chairman of the House Progessive Caucus, reiterated through a representative Tuesday evening that any health care bill that does not include a government plan will be "unacceptable." ....".

Member of La Raza no doubt.

Democrats - mmm,mmmm,mmmm etc.

Idiots - they keep harpooning the white whale.

The white whale - America - is making a decided U-turn towards their dingbat socialist good ship lollipop.

This liberal moron and his equally fanatical left wing Democrats will be made to understand the meaning of "NOT ACCEPTABLE" beginning with the congressional elections of 2010. They and their idea of taxpayer funding/support of indigents' and illegals' healthcare is the only thing I find "UNACCEPTABLE". If thiese morons want to provide healthcare, housing, or whatever to these society-leeches, then I'd suggest that they [ie the Rockefellers, Kennedys, etc] should WHIP OUT THEIR OWN WALLETS AND CREDIT CARDS in order to pay for it, and get their hands off of mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your hands off my health care crooks!!!

Good. This should put this whole charade to rest. If it can't be passed maybe status quo will be the result. Sounds like democracy is starting to work after all.
