What happened to slow down you are moving too fast?
For months the cry of the tea party protesters and the talk radio clowns was Health Reform is moving too fast, what is the rush? Now, as the bills are being hammered out, they want to know -right now- what is in the public option- down to the exact cost of premiums and what it covers. They don't understand that this will take just a little more time since there isn't yet one version of the public option. They also seem to be woefully ignorant of the process in which a bill becomes a law. Try School House Rock- they do an excellent job and use cartoons so neo-con and tea baggers can understand.

So which is it- is Congress moving too fast or too slow?

Pelosi and the bill's other supporters want a vote on the (almost) 2000 page bill by the end of next week.
In order to "know... what is in the public option- down to the exact cost of premiums and what it covers", we need to know "right now" in order to review the other obscenities in the bill prior to such a vote (assuming that is when it actually takes place).
The CBO (IIRC) says it will take weeks to get an estimated cost (which is probably why Pelosi and other Liberals want to vote before the estimate can be made and they lose even more votes).

I asked what it will cost after reading smart alec questions about if conservatives will want to save money and buy public option insurance because it will be so cheap.
In other words I want the mindless Libs to put up or shut up.
You brag about how good and cheap it will be so tell us how good and cheap it will be!

I am not surprised you chose Schoolhouse Rock, you have so many song lyrics from the '80's in this bunch of jumble, my head is swimming.
The beef of Republicans is that libs are locking them out of all committees and discussions. Contrary to your condescending little joke, we are entitled to open government. This is the US, not China.

It doesn't matter what pace congress takes, they never read the
bills before them anyway, this time they are waiting for Fox and
Glenn Beck to do it for them!

Do you have a point... or just feel like posting mindless rants today?
Arguments based off of vague generalizations, are in their very essence, 'pointless'.
