Rather than paying that money out to further the health and well-being of their customers, these companies paid a lobbyist, because it’s a better ROI.

Any of these piecemeal,undermeasured fall short hybrid solutions where the current private for profit/stock price insurers are the gatekeepers and overseers are not going to move the ball far enough. See the HMO “solution” outcome for example. Much talk about cost control but the field ended up being merged and consolidated so much it just became another factor of failed outcomes in current regime.

A big comprehensive proposal similar to FDR’s Social Security of the 1930’s is what must take place. The Republicans surely would rather that not happen of course but this 21st century is going to be a tough slog for unwealthy Americans without a strong Single Payer Plan. Half solutions are just that.

Clearly the “public option” as currently being put forth is premised on doing too little–not enough or too much. In doing too little again this six decade old problem only lives on for another decade’s worth of kick the can outcomes.

A great disappointment it has been to not see or hear President Obama denounce and condemn the current private,stock price/dividend ” for profit” regimes in American healthcare.

The numbers alone once known and better illustrated would be so very potent in destroying the falsehoods and outright lies being thrown by the current regime players to protect the profits and off the top rakings and skimoffs.

President Obama took Universal Single Payer off the table which surely was the worst thing to do as it represents the truest and most honest reform current American healthcare delivery debacle could undergo.

The money politics now flooding WashingtonDC when combined with a class of American carpetbagger types who pass themselves off as selfless public servants in Congress when they are anything but selfless is a full mockery of trying to frame this “healthcare reform’. This so called “reform” is a lobbyist holiday for buying off,bribing and putting money fixes in to destroy and sink any so called “reform” from ever seeing the light of day.

President Obama could have been a genuine profile in courage by taking on WashingtonDC ’s culture of broken money politics and lobbyist sought policy failure.

President Obama is not the American peoples champion in not having staked out a firm and profound transformation of current American healthcare headlong rush to ruin.

In not reaching far and high enough President Obama has betrayed the American people .

Not doing a viable Universal Single Payer makeover of current failed healthcare regime will only doom the bottom two thirds of American population to more social ,fiscal and healthcare outcomes of uncertainty,shortfall and needless suffering and premature death.
