On the other hand, I'm hearing stirrings that Schweitzer might run against Max -- that could be interesting ...

I pledged never to vote for him again after he voted for the bankruptcy bill of 2005 and I've held to that. However, that doesn't mean I vote for the Republican. I leave it blank. After all, for as much as Max is execrable, at least he agrees that SOMETHING needs to be done. As far as the Republicans seem concerned, the healthcare system is totally fine. After all, they have their guaranteed awesome healthcare for life--what's the problem? Getting some Conrad Burns wannabe in there is not going to help things at all, and for as much as I rag on Max, he's still better than the Senate Republicans who are trying to block even Max's feeble plan.

I had the willies the whole time just knowing that something like this was coming down the pike. It's the sickest type deal they could come up with. REQUIRING us to pay a corporation for the privilege of living. It is just sick. Feelin’ your pain there!

Central Oregonians are nearly all in the same position: either they own or work for small companies, or they're farmers/ranchers, or they telecommute (like me). I'm a contractor and don't get a dime of health insurance... I am absolutely livid about the requirement for universal coverage w/o a public option. I think they're just BEGGING people to lie to the government. Can't you see a company forming that offers "health insurance" that is really only catastrophic coverage ($1 million deductible, let's say), for $50/month? Yeah.
