Why are those damned greedy health industry CEOs the ones to meet with Obama & Emmanuel to talk health policy?

http://rawstory.com/2009/11/white-house-met-lobbyi...

How is anyone supposed to feel good about health insurance industry lobbyists shaping government health care policy?

Why do agribusiness and pharmaceutical executives run the FDA and USDA?

Why does our current president's administration appoint the foxes to guard the chicken coop?

Why don't liberals care? Why didn't conservatives care when Bush was corrupting the nation? Why are any of us defending either party?

    Why are you ignoring the (un)insurance companies paying politicians thirty pieces of silver to stop these reforms taking place?

    I do not understand why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the planned reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so good, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?

    FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].

    FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].

    Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]

    Maybe that is because in the USA, insurance companies push up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)

    Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].

    Is it right that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?

    If you think my arguments are wrong, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.

  • Obama is shaking the damned greedy health industry CEOs for campaign contributions. He could simply eliminate them but why waste a crisis?

    Agribusiness and pharmaceutical executives run the FDA and USDA because the country is no longer of the people, by the people, or for the people. It is likely to perish from the earth.

    Foxes to guard the chicken coop because they can. No politician in charge wants to lose the campaign contributions.

    Liberals don't care because they are now left wing fascists. They only care about increasing their power by increasing the need of the people for government help.

    Conservatives did care when Bush was in office however, Bush was not a conservative. He was a moderate. which means he can only be right 1/2 the time at best.

    Were you seriously naive enough to believe that the Liberal health care plan was going to exclude the HMO's? We on the right saw this one coming all the time, yet those on the left kept calling us stupid.
