This guy, Obama, Is going to be good for this country. He is going to unite us and get us back on track to be a world participant instead of a colonialist. He is going to try and revamp the lobbiest situation which is the gravest cancer on the government and bring health care to this country so we can join the worlds industrialized countries again in taking care of the sick. I doubt he can get the profit out of Medical in the first term but maybe in the second the people will get behind him and shitcan the HMOs and the insurance thieves. This will be the battle of the century. All it would take is to get it on the ballot. There are enough pissed off people to outlaw them, I'd sure as hell vote for their expulsion. If he makes John Edwards his VP, Edwards can focus on the medical, his baby, and he'll get-er-done. I doubt if even a false flag attack can put McCain in the white house, I think enough of the people have wized up to prevent that.
The problem is NOT profit in health care. Most for-profit hospitals are pretty efficient. The not-for-profit outfits are the real blood suckers. The community Christian hospital near my home gets new drywall up, and a couple years later, the job is redone. The two big Catholic hospitals are the same way.
The devil in health care is not normal profits. The devil is insurance companies making obscene profits and raping small purchasers with multi-tier price schedules. This nation is mad as hell when the GAO discloses that a tool company sold claw-hammers to Home Depot for $8 and to NASA for $58. Well, the same thing happens with insurance companies today. Only the little guy gets the bill stuck in his gluteus maximus, not in NASA.
The next big problem with health care is tort-costs. Do you really believe a member of the trial lawyers association is going after tort-reform? Obahma and Edwards are a pair of foxes watching the big hen house. Where do you think they get their campaigns financed? The trial lawyers association is just about the biggest lobby in America.
In all seriousness, crazy old McCain would be more likely to coral health care costs, or even move to single payer coverage. And that my friends is not something that gives warm and fuzzies to most republicans. But, it is a fact. If you want to vote for lower health care costs, vote for John McCain.
