Obama 2012 Campaign Helped By MoveOn.org, AFL-CIO Super PAC Alliance

Dr. Marcia Angell, a proponent of single payer universal health care, testifying before Congress as to the reason our health care system is in such a shambles:  

"It's set up to generate profits NOT to provide care.  To pay for care, we rely on hundreds of investor-owned insurance companies that profit by refusing coverage to the sickest patients and limiting services to the others.  And they cream roughly 20% off the top of the premium dollar for profits and overhead.  Our method of delivering care is no better than our method of paying for it.  We provide much of the care in investor-owned health facilities that profit by providing too many services for the well-insured and too few for those who cannot pay.  Most doctors are paid fee-for-sservice which gives them a similar incentive to focus on profitable services, particularly specialists, who receive very high fees for expensive tests and procedures.  In sum, health care is for maximizing income and not maximizing health..."

And ACA does nothing to change that.  

A real Democratic president, with Democratic ideals, coming into office with the political capital that Obama came into office with, could have gotten single payer, Medicare for all.  But that's not who or what Obama is.  He's a corporate tool, and his fans' support keep him from having to satisfy their interests.  The more they continue to support him, the more he can move to the right.
