Too bad he won't be in office long. His days are numbered because of the Blagojevich mess and his connection to him. A public option is great but it's the tip of the iceberg from my experience from working at a hospital the bigger problem is the lack of regulation of insurance companies. This is the bigger problem. You can have insurance and the providers can still renege on agreeing to cover you. They can do this any time they want, whenever they feel like doing it. So at the end of the day, having health insurance means little if the company providing it doesn't have to honor it. Good for Burris. Too bad he won’t be in office long.

Too many people depend on the government to bail them out or that they have our best interest, when that it not the case. Americans need to get educated and stay on top of the issues, so we are not left in the dust, scratching our heads wondering "how did that happen?...". I agree.

We have been duped into believing our government is looking out for us. They have NOT been - but perhaps this is a turning point in the backbone of the USA. We can only hope. It will be interesting to see what happens to get this done ... who will stand up for the right of the Americans. Glad to see someone else wants a public option.
