Is the health care plan losing support on the left?

Salon Magazine's Camille Paglia wrote, "The bureaucracy required to institute and manage a nationalized health system here would be Byzantine beyond belief and would vampirically absorb whatever savings Obama thinks could be made."

    it never had as much support on the left as the dems in the gov't are making it seem like. now, they're scrambling to make it even look like there's a legit amount of support. when there's not.

    Aren't the ones on the losing side always the loudest ?

    And I hear the Republicans.

    What needs to be finally accomplished, should have been done hundreds of years ago. Why does anyone expect such an undertaking to be easy ?

    Health Care Reform must and will be come about. Sure, we will encounter

    some imperfections periodically but that is no problem. We do as other

    countries do, make adjustments from time to time.

    Just got off the phone with Europe and most People are amazed that we are so far behind in our Health Care.

    Here is what the Left is becoming upset about:

    Nation's Drugmakers Help Obama In His Campaign To Remake Health Care System

    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/08/08/ap/healt...

    "The nation's drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health care this fall, according to numerous officials"

    Just the thought of drugmakers Buying Obama freaks out the Left!

    What people don't realize = Drugmakers wouldn't have to spend hundreds of millions $$$ on lobbyists and advertising to keep their obscene profits high - just pay off the Obama administration to make big profits and to hell with taxpayers.

    Ask your doctor, "would IATROGENIC be right for me"!

    It's still got huge support--honestly, I wish we could vote on it so that part of the argument would be over. It was one of the biggest parts of Obama's campaign, why do you think people aren't supporting it anymore? Because you're seeing groups of 75 people show up at a town meeting screaming ridiculously misinformed statements into a microphone? It's just a small but vocal group that doesn't like it. We already voted on this, remember the election?
