This is probably one of the worst things that could have happened. I sure hope they bring the PO back during the reconciliation process. Without this, the insurance companies will continue to rape and pillage. Let's think about this...what valued added role do the insurance companies play in the delivery of healthcare...NONE! They are just the middle man between our money and the providers. And they make billions playing that role. Since they are driven by a profit motive, all they want to do is to deny coverage for the smallest of excuses. We cannot claim to be a great society if we allow people to be killed when they are sick. Talk about Death Panels. The only thing I will ever agree with Sarah Palin on(please God..don't strike me dead). We have Death Panels today and it's not the government. It's the adjudicators that get hefty bonuses based on how many claims they deny. Without PO, this is not reform...it's a whitewash.

Unfortunately, MOST of the ignorant have been brainwashed by the extreme right wing funded by the insurance companies and we may not see a good PO. In any case, the current version of PO is not going to be available to everyone but only those that are not covered from their employers and cannot get insurance. Oh well...c'est la vie!! Let's kill thousands more of our unfortunate fellow citizens.
