Obama Killed The Public Option

Everybody wants the best health care. There shouldn't be any "choices" of "quality of care".

NY Times Reporter Confirms Obama Made Deal to Kill Public Option

"Even while President Obama was saying that he thought a public option was a good idea and encouraging supporters to believe his healthcare plan would include one, he had promised for-profit hospital lobbyists that there would be no public option in the final bill."

"Several hospital lobbyists involved in the White House deals said it was understood as a condition of their support that the final legislation would not include a government-run health plan paying-Medicare rates...or controlled by the secretary of health and human services. 'We have an agreement with the White House that I'm very confident will be seen all the way through conference', one of the industry lobbyists, Chip Kahn, director of the Federation of American Hospitals, told a Capitol Hill newsletter...Industry lobbyists say they are not worried [about a public option.] 'We trust the White House," Mr. Kahn said.

I have been smelling a huge rat for the last 6 months now. Obama is nothing more than a better educated, far more well spoken version of the scumbag he replaced. He may not be as embarrassing as the shrub, but he is every bit as slimy.

and you wonder why you approval rating is shit.
