Agreed Apple, about both Palin and the insurance rates. I don't believe Palin or Romney would be good candidates for the GOP.

As far as the insurance rates go, that is something that could be addressed in the reform bills. Doing nothing is definitely not an option.

Frank--that's a pretty ignorant thing to say. It also shows your inability to have empathy.

The public option is not the core issue in the debate. There are two things that healthcare reform must accomplish:
1. It must get the nearly 50 million people not covered, covered.
2. It must lower premiums and costs for those already insured.

Accomplish those two things, with or without a public option, and the bill has my support!
