That would be like committing political suicide. He's in it, and he'd be a fool to walk away from it now.
This IS true. He has no choice but to stick with it. It would be a moral victory for him to get it passed as is. Perhaps more than a moral victory because this is politics after all and he could say that he implemented healthcare reform.
And AARP will gain the people that Medicare Advantage covers now. I tore up my AARP. They have sold us down the river.. AARP is now just a big insurance broker and more people see this everyday!
the really disgusting thing is it would have been a slam dunk but no one realized the train wreck that bush left for Obama. This country was left in shambles and had more in common with the post 9/11 twin towers than an up and running economy. The thing is Obama was elected to completely change the direction and although the stupid people like that ugly witch in Little rock that was crying I want my country back, most of us think Obama is giving into the radical right way way to much. Even Ron Paul said our troops went into Iraq on a plane and they can come out on a plane its just that easy. But now that Obama is in I guess he feels its not that easy. We can come out now and hold our head up high or wait until we are being pushed out by an irate population, and I would not blame them a bit. Now health care, we have needed health care for so many years it is sick, and we have this one window of opportunity that comes around every 20 years or so and the dems have pisseed it away.
We already HAVE health care. I think the topic is health care REFORM.
They are not reforming healthcare. They are reforming heath care insurance. No TORT reform. None of the things that really matter!
I agree. But to say we have no healthcare is false. We have healthcare now, it's just damn expensive. I'm not against reform, I agree it needs to be done, and TORT reform is one of the things that needs to be addressed. Among other things.
The bill in its current state would mandate that everyone buy private insurance or pay a fine/jail term. That's just not right.
No TORT reform. None of the things that really matter!
Tort reform helps doctors. It doesn't help patients. Costs continue to rise in states that have enacted tort reform.

Apparently everyone who voted for Obama realized the "train wreck" left by Bush, which is why Obama was voted in. The ISSUE is that Obama wasn't qualified for the position. Had he been in office in 2000 - I can't imagine the wreck he would have left when he got booted out of office in 2004 for just being his narcissistic self, and apologizing all of the world for the USA.

Again, what does this mean?

We have health care for those who can't afford private insurance. It's called Medicaid. The reform needs/needed to start with the government health care plan that was already in place. If that could have been done, and successfully, MAYBE, just MAYBE people would trust the gov't to actually run a social program instead of forcing some semblance of what they have "up and running" and is lacking/failing people miserably on the gen pop.
Dean is an idiot.. he is talking about things he has no idea what he is talking about...
Now THAT is ironic.
