skippy the bush kangaroo: universal healthcare is in the democratic party platform

universal healthcare is in the democratic party platform

if they vote for something sponsored by the insurance companies that does not include at least a public option, they aren't democrats.

they seem to forget this is about providing access to health care....not insurance.

the woman who was denied treatment for breast cancer because she failed to note on her insurance papers that she had acne treatment as a teenager had insurance. she wasn't given health care.

a bipartisan group of the senate finance committee is “closing in on a health care compromise.” the tentative agreement would create “a network of nonprofit cooperatives,” instead of establishing a new public health plan as favored by senior house democrats. also, the Senate “moderates” won’t mandate employer coverage. - think progress

those in congress have sold out to the highest bidder....the lobbyists...not the american people.

Labels: democrats, healthcare, liars

Money has a nasty habit of getting it's way with political folks...
A million dollars a day...at least.

That's the extent that the lobbyist front was serious about Congress Not make changes that had any meaning...

We can still make an effort to change the minds of our elected jerks...but I don't have a million bucks. Or even ten...
