As a novice activist I am outraged by the “Washington Process”. What about the polls is not clear to the elected politicians? The majority of Americans as high as 70% want a robust public option. In fact most want Single Payer Health Care, this is the kind Canada has, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, Taiwan even Cuba. We instead got a Public Option.  What does this mean? As it is now abundantly clear the version that has come down to us is selling the people out.

It is beginning to be clear after reading through several pages of the bill the sham that it is. The bill includes all these explanations and requirements and the rest of the pages of garbage. It is simply trying to allow the insurance companies to survive and thrive. Bottom line is it is requiring all of us to get insurance one way or another. The biggest burden goes on small businesses. These very same businesses that are providing a job for many Americans and the true crucible of this economy to bear the burden. I have been a small businessman all my life. The additional cost of paying insurance wasn’t even an option there was no money. Why do we still insist on supporting the private business of insurance companies.  Why do we allow the crooks to dictate. How can these politicians with a straight face accept and then try to pass this law on us. They should be ashamed of themselves.

This bill will create it’s on structure to navigate this inefficient system. The Blue Dogs or was it Blood Dogs are basically scuttuling a healthier bill for the narrow interest of their minute little peanut populations. The changes in this bill are adding another 85 billion to the cost. That is money we could spend on education or anything we want. Perhaps even another bailout of BANKS!!!

We the people need to stand up, we should be screaming shrill at our government wait a minute not our government rather the corporate representatives we call government.

WHERE IS OBAMA IN ALL THIS!!! WHERE IS OUR SINGLE PAYER PLAN!!!!
