Kaiser Poll Finds Many Unaware of Health Reform Medicare Provisions

Getting affordable quality medical care to all was what Obama and Democrats were put into power to accomplish­. ESPECIALLY after the Republican great big corporate giveaway to Big Insurance and PhRma in 2003 (Medicare Reform Act -- remember that?). 

Obama dropped calling it "healthcar­e reform" right after he got into the White House; it became "insurance reform", although the only "reform" to insurance was to increase their profits.

Then Nancy Pelosi dropped both terms ("healthca­re reform" and "insurance reform") and tried selling it as a "deficit reducer".  No pretense after that about it being anything about getting affordable quality medical care to everyone.

If it was about getting affordable quality medicare care to everyone, and everyone is paying for it, WHY should we pay 39 + percent in profits to private corporatio­ns to administer healthcare when we can get the same (and more efficient) services for 2 percent (Medicare)­?

That's what we should have been discussing­. 

But Obama took SinglePaye­r off the table (not his to do), told the American people that it was up to Congress to write the legislatio­n, he was staying out of it, while he undermined the Congressio­nal committees writing the bills by cutting secret deals with PhRma, hospitals and the AMA. When it was discovered­, Obama lied about it. It took Billy Tauzin to force the truth from the White House. 

That's not a straight shooter; that's a corrupt public official in bed with Big Insurance and PhRma.
