With the CleaverCare bill being negotiated behind closed doors we the people can only lose. Cleaver and the leaders of Congress have taken the extraordinary step of bypassing the regular conference between the House and Senate to hammer out differences while allowing Republicans to propose change in favor of backroom meetings where only Democrats argue with other Democrats.
It will be interesting to see what happens if the final bill does not have a public option. Cleaver and many other Congressmen in the Progressive Caucus have taken the pledge to not vote for any health care reform bill that does not include the public option AND they were taped doing it.
