I appreciate the civil rational responses... I don't know enough about the healthcare bill. I'll look over your message some more... even if I don't reply to it. Perhaps I'll leave another message here... anyway, my feeling about the bill and why I'd vote against it is that I don't like being told that I have to give a corporation money. I hear Dems saying that it can be fixed later (and I realize that my "fix" [namely, public option, or better still, single payer] is proly be your bane) but from what I've seen the chances are, the legislation will become even more corporate-friendly and anti-individual.
