Number Of Uninsured Americans Soars To Over 50 Million

Out of Obama's mouth two weeks ago, on the furor over his deal preserving Bush's tax cuts for the richest:

"This is the public option debate all over again. So I pass a signature piece of legislatio­n where we finally get health care for all Americans, something that Democrats have been fighting for for a hundred years, but because there was a provision in there that they didn't get that would have affected maybe a couple million people, even though we got health insurance for 30 million people, and the potential for lower premiums for 100 million people, that somehow that was a sign of weakness and compromise­."

This is 'SMACK YA IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD'-stuff coming out of Obama's mouth.

Obama didn't get health care for all Americans -- He sold insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies using Americans' money.  Over-price­d, lousy insurance policies, at that.  Having insurance doesn't mean getting health care.  BIG DIFFERENCE­.

And there are no cost controls in what Obama got.  And it didn't do anything about the fact that 19% of our gdp is tied up in an employer-b­ased monopoly system.  Ending employment­-based insurance was what everybody wanted.   

Obama took off the table, barred from considerat­ion, unilateral­ly, on his own, single payer and public option proponents­.  Do you remember when we were all told, "Relaaaaaa­ax, it's a first step...We'­ll put a public option in..Real soon"?:

Three weeks ago on C-Span, Richard Wolffe (the journalist with an inside line to Obama and his White House) said, "There Won't Be Any Public Option--Ob­ama Never Was For It".

And Obama's legislatio­n leads to  eliminatin­g insurance coverage for all ab0rt!ons.

Then once the legislatio­n passed, Obama then appointed former WellPoint executive Liz Fowler to write and enforce the regulation­s.  A fox in charge of this chicken coop.  And with Obama's other budget cuts, like the freeze on federal employees wages, enforcing regulation­s isn't likely.  

To date, Obama has issued waivers to 110 corporatio­ns, allowing them not to have to comply with the healthcare legislatio­n.

This guy's a real piece o'work.
