The joyful reunion of the freed Chilean miners after 69 days of captivity is truly heart-warming. Who could not be moved by the sight of these men - one by one - being reunited with their loved ones? The hugs, kisses, gestures of triumph and huge smiles speak volumes about the human spirit. But let's not forget the back story - the story of mining safety and how we regard human life.

Our President is being viciously attacked from the Right and vociferously attacked from the Left. Guess he must be doing something right. Through listening to him, working on healthcare reform and immigration reform, and reflecting on the sorry state of politics at this time in our nation, I have come to reach my own meager conclusion of the necessity to compromise in politics.

I don't like it. Like most people on the Left or Right, I want it my way and I want it now. I want a country without: poverty; hungry children; homelessness; unemployment; environmental destruction; and racism. (Not too much to ask, eh?)

The healthcare reform debate, global warming, moving to a "green economy," the financial industry debacle, most wars, are really all about one thing - Capitalism. The question we, as a people, must ask is "what price are we willing to pay to keep Capitalism alive?"

We were all pretty surprised to hear the news: Northwest Airlines Flight 188 overshot the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by 150 miles. Initial reports surfaced, claiming there was a heated argument in the cockpit. Speculation arose about whether the pilots were asleep.

I am really trying to support President Obama in his bid to reform America's healthcare system. I've overlooked the broken promise on transparent negotiations for healthcare. I'm trying to get on board with the First Lady's argument that the Baucus bill is a "reasonable" bill, but I am having challenges making sense of why the Democrats are compromising where there seems to be no need to compromise.

Amidst all the hoopla about whether or not we will have a public option within a healthcare bill there seems to be an important point that many are overlooking - we already have a public option - one that the vast majority of people value.

The teabaggers and their paid "corporate organizers" have attacked the public option at as many healthcare town halls as they could. Their agenda was simple - stop the debate and stop the discussion about healthcare reform.

While 14,000 Americans lose their healthcare each day, the health insurance industry is spending $1.4 million a DAY to buy the votes they need to stop healthcare reform. Apparently they are not only buying votes from Blue Dog Democrats, there are reports that the vicious mobs who are disrupting healthcare town halls are being funded by surrogates for the healthcare industry as well.

Why shouldn't the health insurance industry do what they can to stop healthcare reform? It is in their interests to do so. Billions of dollars of profit are at stake for them and they clearly will not go down without a fight. And so, they have whipped up a frenzy of distortions and outright lies to stop healthcare reform at any cost. They have energized the 'teabaggers.'

The sad reality is that the 'teabaggers' don't have a clue that they are slaves to the health insurance industry.

Why I Support Single-payer Healthcare

I would like to share with you why I am a proponent of a Single-Payer health system, or Medicare for all. Let me first give you a little background about my involvement in the current healthcare syste. I am a small business owner. I employ between 70 - 100 people at a given time. Most of my workers go the homes of the elderly and disabled, where they bathe, dress and feed them. Without our services, these folks would be in nursing homes, away from their families, and receiving much less individualized care. We save the State of Georgia about 25% by providing care in the home, rather than in a nursing home. So, as I like to tell new workers, this is a win, win, win, win situation:

The client gets to stay in his/her home

The program saves the State money

The aide has a job

People like me have a business
