Apparently there will be no public insurance program in the Senate version of the health care bill. There is no end to the disappointment inflicted upon the party base by the Democratic establishment.
Remember the Dean campaign? I actually had some hope then that we could get real change. I've been so consistently disappointed ever since then that I've long since given up all hope for real change, and, no, the Obama campaign did not give me any real hope of change--I knew he wouldn't actually change much.
Seriously, have Democrats in Congress accomplished anything substantial over the last 10 years? Has Obama?
