  • ...and isn't it interesting that many of those who scream "FREE MARKET!" as a solution to healthcare reform are the same ones who say big business should be allowed to spend unlimted amounts on campaigns, effectively buying politicians in return for policy that props up their business, instead of being forced to prove themselves and live or die by the FREE MARKET...

  • The health insurance companies are already guilty of murder in the 2nd degree. I don't think they will change their habits if "tort reform" was established.

  • There's no such THING as a "Government monopoly!"

    The Insurance Companies have the Monopoly NOW! Cut & Refuse Care for PROFIT! Let People DIE! (12,000 Kids & 100,000 Adults per Year)

    Cause 50% of Bankruptcies.

    U.S. is 37th in Health Care Worldwide.

  • Well said

  • @Homer177 Well, after this week, it appears that the obstructionist Republicans can not stop what President Obama has to do for the citizens of America. Even his recess appointments are to the benefit of us Americans... to me, this is considerable power...and the cleanup of the Congress is just beginning..."Change is Good"!

  • It's obvious some of us can not deal with reality too well...

  • Besides...Barack Obama's birth certificate from Hawaii has cleared this issue. Phil Berg is NOT "authority" on who is and who is not a citizen. And our president is not an "Illuminati harlot." He has more than demonstrated that he is his own man and that he does not subscribe to special interest groups...sans the interest of the American people. His campaign financing solidly exhibited this point.

  • Sounds like a citezen of Kenya to me...NOT an Iluminati harlot to me...LOL

  • I am confident that Obama has done ALL that he is supposed (or required to) do as president with or without the obstructionist Republicans. And you are right (which was my position) that it is up to US to vote out the Obstructions republicans, the Democrats who are/have been bought by the Republicans) and replace them with new Congress persons who have US the people in their best interest. This will cleanse our congress of the old, Republican/Bush/"Obstructionis­t" thinking that is in place.

  • It does depend on the will of the American people, the Bush organization ( does not deserve the respect of being called an "Administration"), dug a big hole in our country's infrastructure, who ever is after him will have hell to repair it. Right now it is Obama who has a full plate. The democratic process will always include US. The mess we're in requires patience to repair or reform. We must clean the congressional "house" this November to restore integrity deserving of our citizenship.

  • Yes. The problem is that even though he is president, he can't do anything thanks to the obstructionist Republicans. We could have had Single Payer were it not for those assholes. The truth is however that Obama has little power if any. It's up to us to clean up the House and the Senate. If we don't, we will see no change whatsoever.

  • Obama is the man, are we really the people? I think Obama heard "us" during the 2006 mid-term elections, his campaign and presidency is a reflection of this...we have to stand together in the true spirit of "we the people" and tell our congressional leaders what we need. If they do not address our needs in congress (and by the looks of it many of them are NOT), then we will vote them out this coming mid-term. This will tell Obama that we heard him hear US and will close the end of the Bush era.
