I'm afraid the bill that passes will be another bailout for health and pharma companies

The country will step back and carefully consider what it really wants in healthcare. The vast majority do not want government control to the extent that government calls the shots. Most people want the medical decisions to be made between the Doctor and patient, not with the government in between. Start there and work out the details. There are a lot of us that like the Mackey of Whole Foods approach. The government could be involved to help people who cannot afford it to be able to do so. Medicare is still there as is to keep the seniors happy. The congress has to take the bull by he horns and work out some sort of tort reform like in Texas.

as long as big pharma and the health insurance companies continue to use the cover of being for reform and the msm ignores the fact that over 70 per cent of americans want the public option we be will seduced by the corporate powers into believing we don't really want any reform.

Thanks to the frenetic maneuvering of his Brutus, Rahm Emanuel, Obama has been bought by the lobbies.
