WASHINGTON (Reuters)—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., condemned the insurance industry Thursday and said its criticisms of health care reform efforts made the need for a government-run ‘public’ insurance option even greater.

No one is talking about this.. but isn’t this an infringement on the promise they made when they took the cap off the top income for medicare taxation? … Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, and the American people: When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month |
