Max Baucus (D-Cigna) released his plan, at last, yesterday. It is such a lousy health "reform" that it might just help revive the Public Option. This thing kills the Public Option and gives giant profits to the Medical Industrial Complex and might actually help the debate.

      The Democrats could go bold and actually help people?!? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. As an opposition party, the Democrats have about as much credibility left as that team of stooges that travels around with the Harlem Globetrotters.
