Ah Screw It, Schumer’s Back In The Coalition

Posted on 06/23/2009 at 7:36 pm by Bob Cesca

You know what? Senator Schumer is just watering down the public option with Conrad’s stinky co-op crap while paying lip service to a robust public option. Schumer ought to be standing pat on the public option — considering overwhelming super-majority support for it. Besides, a compromise with Baucus and Conrad is a compromise in favor of the private insurance mafia.

When you’re making your calls to the Coalition of the Corrupt & Spineless, include Senator Schumer on your rounds again.

    This is the same statement that was already out yesterday. The compromise is a solid one. If this is really where they are going, then I think we ought to push for the other reforms (and posted as much on my blog): 1. The national private insurers need to be similarly regionalized, and 2. the coop plan needs to be fully funded for kick-off.And, if the Senate passes this version, and Congress passes the three-committee version – the compromise between those two will be pretty solid.I’m going to keep up calling, but truly – I’m not unhappy with Conrad’s movement on this issue – I just want to hear some push on the insurance companies.QT
