I saw first hand, as a self-employed surgeon, just how the private health "insurance" industry evolved after Hillary's tinkering 15 years ago. Most of the corruption and inefficiences devolved from typical DC mentality: confound with increased beaurocracy, decrease payments to providers (hosptials, physicians, clinics, laboratories, etc.), and spend more money to feed the beaurocracy. The health insurance companies incorporate legalistic, government-style policies in order to survive, as in "Obey to Play", lest they become extinct. Slowly but surely, the greatest medical care system deteriorates while serving fewer and fewer average Americans.

Shouldn't we beware the rapidly decreasing support of Obama's Health Insurance Reform and rather prepare ourselves for his eventual proposal to use the remaining $700 B of Stimulus Money for his ensuing coup d'etat?

I acknowledged his propensity to lie way back when he denied knowing what Rev Wright was up to. Why such a brilliant man was unable to "see" after 20 years what Oprah, one of his biggest supporters, saw in only a few months is inconceivable.

From Chicago, the land of "Obey to Play"

Right on! I can't believe how naive most Americans are. Just wait until we hear what Blago has in store for Obama and Rham.

The most efficient solution would be to expand Medicaid to include those without coverage, even though millions already qualify for it yet haven't applied. It's obvious that our politicians couldn't care less about the "uninsured" nor about improving the quality of health care. While they pander for more votes and power, American Medicine is rapidly transforming into another two-tiered, European-like, mediocre industry.

Obama says he's gonna pass his health care plan without affecting the deficit/debt. Well, that means he's gonna use the rest of the Recovery (stimulus) money to entice hesitant Dems in Congress to support going nuclear after splitting the bill!

I love the line about this administration creating life. He must've learned that one from Dailey while in Chicago, origins of "Obey to Play" tactics to overload the Obamabus.
