Sherrod Brown: We'll get a strong public option

[WI_DEM]

Max Baucus and Kent Conrad would have you believe that they are the only two Democrats who matter in the entire United States Senate.

Well Sherrod Brown had something to say about that yesterday on The Ed Show:

We’re going to enact strong insurance reform rules so they can’t game the system, the community rating system and preexisting conditions, ban all of that.

But we still need the public option to keep the insurance companies honest. We’re going to insist on it in the Senate. We’re going to get it in the Senate. They are going to do it in the House. We’re going to have a strong public option. That’s going to be a major part of our health care bill.

I sure hope he's right. It certainly doesn't look good from my 10-brazillion-mile-away vantage point at the moment.

3. Very reassuring. It's curious that much of the media has ignored his

commentary.

5. I like his optimism,

but the Congressional Budget office report on HR 3200 doesn't support it.

6. My Senator. Let's hope we get Jennifer Brunner in 2010 instead of another corporate

loving voter (this goes for any Republican or Lee fisher-a "Dem" beholden to special interest.
