Health Care Summit Showdown: When Will Obama & Democrats Support Real Health Care Reform?

The issue with the 2010 Health Care Summit on Thursday, Feb. 25th, should not be that Republicans are still obstructing the conversation on health care by refusing to cooperate with Democrats. What really matters is that Dr. Margaret Flowers and others who believe health care is a human right have been fighting for real healthcare reform, pushing a true public option called single payer, and, unfortunately, they have been ignored, silenced, and forced to submit to political gridlock and political theater from the Obama Administration and senators and congressmen on Capitol Hill.

Medicare for everyone huh, well it's more broke then Social Security and you morons want that. So pop guise wise guy, if Dr are already turning back medicare patients, what to hell makes you think this will work? Law degrees are not more valuable than Doctor degrees and yet everyone in the country is asked to sacrifice except lawyers! weren't even asked ot

In the Constitution, a state cannot. Reconciliation should be used. When this plan does work out for the best in the future. If I were Obama. I would find out all against it, and bar them from the U.S for all times. Or if they want to saty, they must pay double in taxes for judging sooo wrong. You obviously did not see the whol summit.

The problem is people don't buy insurance still go to emergency when get in accidents so we all pay for it. Everybody had to pay into the system, just like Federal Tax.
