Snowe, Collins come out against the public option in the healthcare reform bill
Today RINO senator Susan Collins stated that she is opposed to a “public option” in the healthcare reform bill and she also stated that she is opposed to the “trigger” option that has been floated as a compromise to the “public option.”
This is a setback for the healthcare reform bill, Susan Collins was one “Republican” vote that I felt the president already had. But the news gets even worse for the chance of passage of the healthcare reform bill.
Maine’s other RINO senator is urging the president to drop the “public option” from the healthcare reform bill in order to gain more support from Republicans.
This is a major development, these are two key Republican votes and now they have come out against the “public option.” And quite frankly they are two votes that I thought the president already had on his side. If these two senators are turning on the healthcare reform bill I think that it could be a sign of things to come in the senate.
In the end I still believe that we are going to get some form of healthcare reform bill but the more we are able to get stripped from the bill the better off we will all be. If Collins and Snowe can be used as any kind of barometer for the sentiment in the senate I think that the bill in its current state is in real trouble.

Of course it’s in real trouble, my only question is, what the hell did they hit Snowe and Collins with the knock a bit of good sense into those 2 RINO heads…

I think you are right. There is no way we will not see some sort of health care reform legislation, in my opinion. What is included in that legislation is going to depend on what the Democrats perceive they can get away with.
To be honest, I do believe we need some reform in this area, but the Democrats are trying to take it to an entirely new level and that is what scares me.

We do need some reform but I would start with tort reform and letting insurance companies compete between states, that is not going to happen under this administration. We are going to get some reform, we just need to minimalize the damage.

Don’t trust them. It was Snowe that came up with the “trigger” scheme that would have a public option kick in at a later date.

Yes, it may be a “trick”. Razzle dazzle that the 2 RINO’s were told to say. I was aghast when I heard it, I tell ya.

Hadn’t heard that about Snowe and Collins—I will have to wait and see how things shake out on this—I put little faith in what these two RINO’s say.
