After yesterday's health care summit, the message Obama is sending to the American people is, they are moving forward. It matters not much what Republicans think or, that the majority of American's seem to be against them now; they are determined to pass something.
It's pretty obvious this wasn't about compromise. The Republican's do not want to pass through a 2700-page bill, that clearly no one has read, that includes massive government take over. They want to start over and write something much simpler.
This article on the AP, expresses the same ideas that the AP stories have been saying all week concerning this issue.
Obama's plan would require most Americans to get health insurance, while providing subsidies for many in the form of a new tax credit. It would set up a competitive insurance market for small businesses and people buying coverage on their own. Other changes include addressing a coverage gap in the Medicare prescription benefit and setting up a new long-term-care insurance program. The plan would be funded through Medicare cuts and tax increases.
How will this set up a competitive insurance market for small businesses, when insurance companies cannot compete in all states? Where is their proof for saying such a ridiculous thing? The problem with insurance is that it's NOT competitive at all. The market is not open and, if it's not open, then you truly do not have competition.
Medicare "cuts" and "tax increases"? This is going to be good, why? This doesn't make sense. Why does it have to be set up as a "new" long term care? Why do they have to change anything over? This just makes things more complicated. We already have medicare and it's going down the toilet. Calling it another name isn't going to fix anything. They need to fix what we have not, create more problems.

Live: Health Care Summit
Directly from the article running on AP:
"We'll have that meeting," said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., who helped write the Senate bill. "But far more important, after that meeting, you can either join us or get out of the way."
So, the demoncraps admit they are simply having a summit for show. They don't care about Republicans, they don't care about the American people, and they certainly don't care about the Constitution.
Where do politicians get the idea that government is to be involved in health care in the first place? A 2700 page bill that you know not a one of those Senators have read entirely is going to be shoved through, just so they prove they can finally get something done?
I guess we're supposed to be happy because, C-SPAN is finally allowed to cover something live on television.
We already have universal care, Medicade. So, why not just expand it? Then, allow insurance companies to sell all throughout the states? This doesn't have to be so complicated. We don't need the government determining who lives and who dies.
You'll have to read the story on the AP for yourself. Just click on the title of this post. It's truly amazing how slanted the coverage is on this story.
