What we will end up with is the same (or worse) expensive and inadequate for-profit insurance system we had before only now buying their shitty policies will be mandatory. And if the Dems don’t back down on preexisting conditions, the policies will be priced to reflect that. They will, of course back down. It is what they do. This entire process is being manipulated back to front by the health care industries and their stone-hearted whores in D.C. Obama’s speech may have impressed Ed Schultz and company, but for me it was just another pretty speech. It’s getting so the only real straightforward action this country can perform is bombing Third World Countries and even then we have to throw in a wedding party or two. I suspect the only way the health care crisis in this country can now be tackled is by gradually expanding Medicare to cover more people – newborns to age five, for example, lowering age from 65 to 62 – and going on from there. Of course, having said that, I suspect the minimum age will soon be raised instead. Cost cutting measure, you know.

Thank goodness I have health care, because after reading that article I want to both jump off a bridge and get a prescription for an anti-depressant.
