Senator: If You Want Your Doctors Back – Pay More

[frozintime]

I think both sides are corrupted. I also think both sides have some merit. We, the people, will not be represented until money is taken out of the voting/government equation, but I dont see that happening. So far as Obamacare goes...it hasnt even really been implemented, I think there are better ways but it has been so distorted from what was intended that it most likely will have to be changed again. I think I am tired of paying for medicine and medical care that people should pay for themselves......but no matter what our current system, as it is, now gives that. Why is everything 3 or 4 times what it should cost....because those that pay or have insurance are paying for those that dont or wont. Until both sides realize that they are going to have to provide a basic level of heathcare to everyone.....each side just wants to abuse the other side and do everything they can to prevent the other side from having any success or the appearance of success. Neither political party will work with another because they are so far apart ideologically.....which really amazes me. Take out the radical ends of both parties and the majority of the middle in both parties can agree on a LOT....which is what hopefully will happen. I personally think profit(at least ridiculous profit) should be taken out of healthcare(Dr's have to make a good wage, but do plastic surgeons(nose jobs/boob jobs/etc) need to make more than general family practitioners or pediatritians?).....the irony is I see how it is necessary to drive innovation.....oh, I will stop here as I could go on, but I think both sides should just swallow some crow and do some work. Give a little and lets see what happens.

You're right about 2 points.

1, Lobbyists need to be eliminated & campaign finance need to be completely restructured.

2, Obamacare has not been fully implemented. The very worst parts of the law has been delayed multiple times in an effort to thwart a hemorrhage of Dem seats. That is the ONLY reason this is being done. Obama did it for himself just before the 2012 election, and he is doing it again now. He is truly the very worst, underhanded POTUS the US has had to endure. Only fueling this fire is the fact that we have not seen impeachment proceedings. This guy needs to go....period.
