patnamm, you're just showing your ig.norance: In addition to Obama's giving waivers right and left to insurance companies that are saying, "We can't afford this", having insurance doesn't mean the insurance company is going to cover the costs for treating the child's pre-existing condition.
Co-pays and deductibles make treatment just as out of reach as having no insurance for many.
When you say, "Half bread is better than none", you've been duped into believing you're in the line getting 'half bread' (is English your second language?).
Peeling off a few angry voters may just make the difference between getting good policy and being stuck with terrible policy for decades.
Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into office to get affordable, quality medical treatment for all. Obama and Democrats didn't do that. They didn't get health care for all Americans. Obama 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 sells women and 'choice' down the river -- Obama's legislation leads to eliminating insurance coverage for all ab0rt!ons.
And 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.
So far Obama has given waivers to 110 companies -- They don't have to comply with any regulations.
