Obama caved to the insurance company's? Why?

I voted for the guy on the pretext that he was really going to fix health care. This goes to show us that anyone can be bought! The insurance companies are to blame in the first place yet they are still on top. Why couldn't Dem's stick to their guns, instead of compromising at the expense of the American people?

    Because his true aim is not to "fix" anything. Both Dems and Repubs want to make the American people dependent on them, thus empowering themselves to ever greater wealth and power. The only political "battles" that take place in this country are for what group of people is going to be able to take advantage of the masses. I think you are beginning to see the light.
