To those greedy seniors who have government run health care and now try to deny it to others. There’s a special place in hell for you. And that includes Fox’s Glen Beck who is just looking to make a name for himself at the expense of people’s lives.

Wow !!! “A sliver”? So 85% of the news stories over the last several weeks have been over “a sliver”? Bull !!!
Obviously, the health care lobbyists have gotten to Obama and his health care supporters, just as they got to Hillary Clinton a few years ago.
The criminality of the entire issue reeks to high heaven, and us “Working Joes” that were paying attention to the public health care debates, knowing that a move like this would save us and our families a lot of money AND ensure that we are protected from sudden illness,are surprised (Or NOT) that Obama is backing down like a beaten wet dog with his tail between his legs.
This gives rise to the belief that the working man IS a sucker,as I was brought up to believe,and seemingly puts another notch in the “prone to criminality” gauge that I have erringly tried to abandon for some years now. Obviously the ONLY political rule is “Might Makes Right”,and Obama is, I guess, not as mighty as he purported himself to be during the elections.
“Change”? Give us a break, ain’t nothing changed but the names.

Our President is getting his first taste of going against the insurance industry, which is, make no mistake about it, a CARTEL, no longer the intended business model originally created to protect in an event of a loss, with their hands in all elections, all the time and process as much money as our government and in fact controls many public policies. Currently, what the insurance industry wants, the industry gets. They feel that no one is too big for them. With profits paramount, currently running health care as well as auto collision repair in there unsuccessfully dysfunctional way with no one to challenge them, as well as crushing free enterprise with their referral systems. When US States successfully created affordable government run workman’s comp insurance for business, the system currently works extremely well, with government achieving a much higher level of service at half the cost, but not surprisingly the insurance industry attempts to abolish the program every legislation cycle. They complain about being in competition with the government, but have no regard to health care patients well being, care facilities or the collision repair stores they our putting out of business daily by pushing all the patients or damaged autos through locations they own or have interest in, aggressively via referral systems. Insures are in competition with all businesses they pay claims to. From health care to auto repair. The insurance industry is currently a competitor to businesses and crushes whom they feel like, with no Federal Trade Commissions stopping them. The insurance industry controls the largest majority of claims service rendered. Free competition is long gone but seriously needs to be restored. I believe government should not just challenge the insurance industry, but to do its job and control them. I wish a leader to challenge the cartel, not give in to greed, and win. Mr. Obama, please don’t give up. The insurance industry can and should be restored back into its intended purpose. The insurance industry currently has more money than local governments and is right behind the federal government with regards to cash flow. They have hand placed policy makers in all levels of our government, federally and local. This presents serious threats to our government and should be investigated by the Federal Trades Commission, FBI and the CIA to ensure the stability of our government.
THE POLITICIANS WHICH CLAIM THE PUBLIC DOESN’T SUPPORT OBAMAS PLAN ARE MOST LIKELY MOTIVATED BY THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY LOBBYISTS, A USUAL DAY IN WASHINGTON.
Politics 101 is to tell the public what they want them to think. The “public support for Obamas plan” articles are noting short of insurance lobbyists getting to work to win.
