In short, his main opposition is one fraudulent thief. If we can't get real reform, it's because "we" (meaning the people we've elected) don't want it.

1. Well, I'm NOT Sure Anyone.... WH, Senators Or Representatives Really
give a rat's ass and that's why people like Scott keep getting away with this kind of stuff!

American people without "deep" pockets don't matter and Democratic Representation seems to not to exist much anymore. As years go by, getting DC to really "help" has become a JOKE!

JMHO!!

Safe passage, Sister Woman.

7. Sounds like Rick Scott belongs in jail.
Understatement of the obvious, I guess.

8. I was hoping that the real opponent would be shown as the Citizens
Who see that Obama's plan is a sham, fraud and whitewash of more of the same. Obama didn't write this plan, it was given to him to sell by the PBT. The PTB know that Single Payer would win in a landslide, so they skillfully omit the discussion of it preemptively. The use of Pre-Emption has been escalating everywhere lately, and the most notable example of this sell out is HB 1226 in Hawaii, which pre-empts any regulation of Genetically modified organisms if those regulations would be differant than regulations against a non gmo organism. It's truly disgusting. To read the proposed Law, which was introduced in Late January, and is incredibly slated to go into effect on July 1, 2009, and phenominally fast interval from intruduction to passage, will hurt your brain. The language is so blatant in its attempt to sign away any rights for tracking GMO's, you'd think it was written by the Mafia. I digress...

We want single payer on the table.

This Swiftboat intervention is just a distraction away from the majority of Americans that want the for profit health care industry dismantled like it should be.

But the industrialists have convinced Obama that people would not be forced to work anymore in order to maintain useless health insurance, especially since so many people are now aware that there is no difference in the policies of Democrat and Republican. They are all bought and paid for by Corporations, moneychangers, and thats the way its going to stay until people stop cooperating with BOHICA.

Passive resistance is the key. Do not give them the power they need, and make it cost them a lot of money to force us to do anything. If they try and arrest you, sit down and don don't walk out under your own power. Let them get 3 people to carry you.

After the 50th person they need to carry out, or crack on the head and then carry out, they will realize how pointless it is to try an coerce thousands of people who are stubborn and uncooperative as a mule.
