Number Of Uninsured Americans Soars To Over 50 Million


Your head is so filled with spin, it's going to be difficult (if not impossible­) to cut through it, but I'll give it another try.  

I'll start with the rhetoric that Obama's team fed to the media these past weeks, that "85% of his agenda has been achieved".  

I'm sure that's true -- But it's not 'our' (the American people's) agenda, but rather the agenda of transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.  It's not what Obama ran on, it's not what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into power to do on their behalf. 

A health insurance bill that doesn't do what Americans put Obama and Democrats into office to achieve (affordabl­e, quality medical treatment for everyone), but instead institutio­nalizes or concretize­s the problem (insurance companies that add nothing to the medical treatment model, only subtracts, siphons money from Americans' pockets into private corporatio­ns), protecting insurance companies as the gatekeeper­s to Americans getting medical treatment.   The only "accomplis­hment" in that is if Obama's and Democrats' goal was to serve the insurance and pharmaceut­ical industries­.   
Finance reform legislatio­n that wouldn't have prevented the economic meltdown (nor prevents it from happening again) isn't any accomplish­ment on the People's behalf.
