How have the major health insurance company stock performed since Joe Lieberman announced he’d filibuster the public option?

The health care system is sucking the life out of the economy. The Senate bill as reported forecloses the kinds of substantive changes we need to reduce those expenditures. It should be defeated.

More than one-fifth of Massachusetts residents are forgoing medically necessary care because the health insurance they have is too stingy to make that medically necessary care affordable.

This time (not for the first time, and probably not for the last time), it is Joe who gets to play Lucy. And, again, we are not wanting for Charlie Browns.

Remember that time when Robert Gibbs called Joe Lieberman “irrational?”

Neither do I.

The LieberCare health care bill is an absolutely catastrophe for labor unions. Both the AFL-CIO labor federation and SEIU, one of the country’s largest unions are holding emergency meetings today to decide what to do about the Senate bill

Lieberman, as the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein put it, “seems primarily motivated by torturing liberals.”
