Karen Tumulty was on a press call with the HELP committee to hear about Kennedy's bill, and she just posted a tweet with the following...
Senate HELP bill: If u hate ur employer's coverage, u have to keep it, unless it costs 12.5% of ur salary. No public plan 4 u.
Looks like you were right ML - anyone above a certain income level is f*cked with this new reform bill. It's Mass-Care all over again :(
UPDATE: Meanwhile, Amy Goodman interviewed Australian investigative journalist John Pilger, who says the British national health system is a "treasuer" and asks how our own leaders can be so "in bed with powerful intersts" that they could ignore the basic human rights of Americans to health care services. Here's an excerpt of Goodman's interview with Pilger.
Soapblox won't let me embed the video but you can view the short clip / teaser at: THIS LINK.
Check it out - Pilger really blasts the do-nothings in Congress for their failure to enact a single payer system. |

"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
Hillary Clinton - June 7, 2008
