Memo to Congressional liberals
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: HOUSE AND SENATE LIBERALS
RE: PASSING HEALTHCARE REFORM LEGISLATION
I'm one of millions of Americans who would benefit from more affordable access to healthcare. I'm also one of those people with "pre-existing conditions" who'd like the freedom to move between states (and insurers) without the fear of not being able to obtain coverage.
If healthcare reform legislation passes and becomes law but lacks a public option or an expansion of Medicare, I'll be grateful to those who voted for it and blame Joe Lieberman and the Republican Party for its flaws.
If no legislation passes, on the other hand, I'll blame YOU.
If you think killing the current bill and starting over is going to produce a better result this year or next, I respectfully submit that I think you're nuts.

Such a shame....that we are backed to the wall to pass a bill that omits the very elements that true reform will depenfs on.
Why blame liberals for the unreasonable ideological posturing of the other side of the aisle, who are in lockstep just to see this initiative fail?
Passage of a flawed bill will be a hollow victory....this from someone who is pretty sane, most of the time....
