Shitcanned. A robust public option that would cover anyone and everyone who wanted it? Shitcanned. Choice in the matter? Shitcanned. Funding for abortions? Shitcanned. Legal mandates forcing everyone to buy health insurance from the for-profit companies or pay a multi-thousand dollar fine, guaranteeing billions of dollars in new profits for said insurance companies? Shitca---Oh no, wait, that's exactly what this does... Barring some MASSIVE changes, I hope this thing is put down like Old Yeller once it reaches the senate. This is not a health care reform bill. This is a profit protection bill for the insurance companies. The single-payer system(REAL health care reform)? Shitcanned.

And it should be mentioned that if you don't have insurance this bill says that you much buy it and there is a penalty if you do not. My advise is to buy stock in the health insurance companies - that's what all of Congress has done. Even if the DP benefits get past the Senate, the bill is not scheduled to take effect until 2013.

I still sincerely doubt that DP tax bennies will make it through the senate, though. This is a nice way for the DNC to assure the loyal obamapologists "well, we tried".

The DP tax benefits and abortion funding (which is cool with me!) will both be cut, I bet my lunch money on it. It will not get through the senate in this format.
