Insurance is NOT medical treatment.



Having insurance does NOT mean being able to get affordable quality medical care.



What about this is so hard for 0bamabots to get?



Insurance companies have already found ways around what few regulations are in this law. Medical loss ratio, for example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd6GTgUlNWs



Obama is a t00l of the corporations, did absolutely nothing to get either single payer universal healthcare or a public option through. He actively worked AGAINST it. He didn't pressure any of the Blue Dogs or Lieberman, and there is ample evidence that Lieberman was working on Obama's behalf to k!ll Medicare expansion. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/13/barack-obama-campaign-man_n_574665.html



If you really believe that what stood in the way of a real healthcare reform bill passing was not having a filibuster-proof majority, Obama would have struck while Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. That was the reason, after all, for letting Lieberman caucus with the Democrats, giving him a committee chairmanship, after all. If real healthcare reform was what Obama was after, he wouldn't have p!ssed away that majority by stalling for time with 2 dying Democratic senators (Kennedy & Byrd).



A real healthcare reform bill didn't need Lieberman, Stupak, Lincoln, Nelson -- Reconciliation was always the way to get it done.
