So what is it going to be Senators?  Will you stand up for 72% of your constituency and “bite the hand that feeds you” or will you continue to work for your de facto employers, the private insurance and pharma interests?

And to the people of the United States:  Will you continue to support Senators that go against your interests or will you stop contributing to these scoundrels, work to vote them out of office and promote public financing of campaigns?

The article goes on with a quote from North Dakota Senator Kent Conrad:

“At the end of the day, you’ve got to have an alternative that gets votes,” Conrad said.

And he is not talking
about your vote.  They could care
less about that.  He is talking about Senate votes.  Which is exactly the real problem in a nutshell.  Put another way, the US Senate will not vote for a health care plan that favors the people of the United States if it serves to undermine the private insurance and big pharma financial interests.
Now who is working for whom?
