Obama Administration Pushes Drug Testing in Workplace, But Not For Everybody

Obama's policy makes Sudofed (and all products containing ephedrine) prescription-only.

But he allowed BP to dump millions of gallons of BP's proprietary (and banned-in-Great Britain) Corexit into the Gulf, and now:

Barack Obama Could Go After Supreme Court On Health Care, James Clyburn Suggests

YOur link regarding changing filibuster rules at any old time is not accurate. Further, reconciliation can only be used in budgetary matters. Get your facts right

===============================

I don't know where you get your facts, but I get mine directly from the source - The government, as the links indicate.

Healthcare is a budgetary matter, it's 1/6th of the US economy, and Obama's legislation was passed through reconciliation.

I am an old liberal Democrat. It's ironic that you accuse me of being a Republican when it's you who supports legislation that originated in the Heritage Foundation and is the federal equivalent of RomneyCare.

Barack Obama Confident That Supreme Court Will Let His Health Care Law Stand

Yes.  

As is Obama's continuing them, expanding the wars, and just as Obama's healthcare legislation is part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act.  Both parties are corrupt and on the take.  

I say that as an old liberal Democrat.  What you're doing is the equivalent of "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth".  If you continue with, "Well Bush did it, too", or "first" as some kind of justification for Obama doing it, then whole country and world will be blind and toothless.

Barack Obama Could Go After Supreme Court On Health Care, James Clyburn Suggests

Most people would prefer not to spend money on car insurance. It's expensive and maybe you won't need it. However, it s MANDATED that everybody buy car insurance for the GOOD of everybody else. That's protecting ALL the American people because we all have to pick up the costs of uninsured motorists. Health care works the same way. 

How can you not get this?

=======================================

I've never been impressed with the analogy of car insurance to health insurance, because for one thing people don't have to drive.  

Perhaps a more equivalent comparison with healthcare in this democracy where everyone needs medical treatment throughout their lifetime might be other necessities for survival, such as food, water, and shelter (protection from the elements).   We subsidize food costs, heating oil expenses, housing, because it's necessary for human survival.  

There are resources that should be nationalized, such as water and oil and land.  They belong to all of us, as our birthright, to share, and not for the 1% to take and sell them for profit, for their own private gain.

There are services which we recognize are necessary, like fire-fighting and policing, that are non-profit.  Or used to be.  We chipped in through our taxes to pay for these services, in order to get these services for a reasonable price.  

The same should be true for medical treatment.  When Americans say, "Don't touch my Medicare", that is what they are saying that they want.  

Obama took single payer (Medicare For All) off the table, because if the goal is to get affordable quality medical care for all then everything else pales in comparison.  He's preserving an anachronistic and failed insurance industry and employer-provided system for medical care. It's government-sanctioned racketeering.

Insurance adds NOTHING to the medical model. The insurance industry is the 'Don Fanucci' (Godfather, Part II -- "I don't want a lot...Just enough to wet my beak") of medical care, letting you get medical care only if you pay them a gratuity up front.
