I think you're right. Why are the dems caving when they supposedly have this super majority? The people of this country need an option to purchase public health insurance. It is the right thing to do. Congress should focus on doing that for a change!

There are 58 Democratic Senators and Bernie Sanders.

This has to go through reconciliation if there is to be a public option. And there had better be.

The public option is obviously as dead as a doornail. My advice to the progressives is to take what they can get now.

I don't know what kind of health care reform will come out of this session, but I strongly suspect it won't be much. There is, however a silver lining behind this very dark cloud. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Don't be embarrassed if you've never heard of it, there really isn't a hell of a lot to remember about it; a mere pittance, really - a scrap of leftovers tossed out to "American Negros" (in the parlance of the age) in order to appease them. But it made the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the one we remember - all the more easier seven years later.

We'll live to fight another day.

"We'll live to fight another day."

Except for those of us who don't, because of lack of health care.
