Well, it was good while it lasted. Health Care reform is dead. It's time to start a new Civil Rights movement in America. The Democrats have took the side of the insurance companies( including the President),and it will come back to bite them. The American people deserve the truth about who the Congress and the President care about when it comes to Heath care in this country.
Monday, the President announced that he had reached an agreement with various organizations to cut health care spending by 1.5 percent each year for the next 10 years, saving over $2 trillion.(joke)
The Senate Finance Committee held its third and final Health Care Round table Discussion Tuesday, focusing on how to finance comprehensive health care reform. If The last meeting ended with people for Single Payer being arrested, well guess what happens today? Protestors once again marked the opening of the hearing, with many in favor of a single-payer system.
"This is a Sham - all of you are special interest groups up there?" one yelled before police escorted them from the meeting room.
5 people arrested advocating Single Payer.
Max Baucus is bought and paid for by insurance companies. Baucus called the proposal unrealistic.
"Some want to go to single payer," Baucus said. "I don't think that's going to work in this country."
How the hell does he know without even having the Single Payer advocates at the table?
The Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to Single Payer. The single-payer system would provide only one source of money for paying health care providers, and can be on a national scope, like Canada, or smaller like statewide or community-based.
The payer may be a governmental unit or other entity such as an insurance company. Single payer supports the patient by reducing costs and simplifying administrative work. Why can't we have a seat at the table?
