GOP Representatives oppose public option because it's "cheaper", "saves money"

[Padfoot]

This is where the GOP reveals that they care more about the bottom line of big business than they care about the health and wallets of everyday Americans.  The GOP tries to disguise its corporatist bias by labeling itself an anti-tax party and demonizing government regulations as bad for small businesses.  But when they have the power the average American sees little to no tax breaks while the fat cats line their wallets and small businesses don't suddenly flourish when consumer protections are torn down so that big businesses can cut corners and abuse the environment, their workers, and the consumer for a higher profit.

If a person is sick, they deserve the best treatment possible.  Money should not be a factor.  If you believe it should be then you're just as despicable as the people who locked the lower class passengers of the Titanic below deck so the wealthy could board the lifeboats first.
