Attention Senate Most Americans Want a Public Option AND Most Americans Do
Not Want a Half-Assed Public Option; Here’s Why: No one wants to spend $100
dollars on a private-sector for-profit health insurance policy and have $20 to
$30 go to the insurer, leaving as little as $70-80 of the original $100 for the
folks who are going to provide health care, i.e. doctors, pharmacies and
hospitals.  That’s why the ‘controversial public option’ was never ‘controversial’
with ‘the public’, and was always and still is the preferred model for ‘the public’,
if not the politicians in the Senate and the Democrats in the White House.  It
was only the private-sector for-profit insurers who promoted the public
option as ‘controversial’, and that’s because they feared the loss of a captive
‘market’ ( a pseudo-market created by anti-trust exemptions carved out by -
guess who - the government). If there’s a true ‘controversy’ around health
insurance, it’s arises from ‘the public’s’ years and years of real-world
experience with private-sector for-profit health insurance companies denying
coverage, resending coverage, banking profits without improving services,
paying huge ‘bonuses’ to staff and CEOs for denying and resending coverage
and for limiting treatments. In addition, ‘the pubic’ knows the ‘death panel’
stories are based on real-life incidents and caused by the private-sector for-
profit insurance industry (not ‘the government’s) denial of life-saving care to
policyholders. The ‘public option’ was never ‘controversial’ to ‘the public’ , but
was made to appear so by for-profit private-sector health insurers and their
bogus ‘Tea Baggers’ led by billionaire Malcolm Forbes and his stooge Dick
Armey whipped up some non-sense made-for-cable visuals. For ‘the public’, 
the ‘public option’ was always and remains today the sine quo non of health
reform, because the private-sector for-profit health insurance industry has
made a hash of it, feathered its own nest, and screwed ‘the public’.  And – not
surprisingly - more than Enron, Citigroup, AIG, Health South, Health Frist (or
First or what ever), ‘the public’ trusts the government over the private sector to
deliver health care.

Obama uses these numbers because they support his version of a “public option,” which is continued corporate control and participation. A few months ago he would never have dared use the numbers showing a majority of people support SINGLE PAYER.

The only REAL “public option”, the one the people REALLY want, is Single Payer!

(Look at it this way: Single Payer costs a lot less than perma-war in Asia . . . and might sufficiently pacify the American unrich to keep em from turning to rowdy revolution, when they all figure out what the Obama Org has done to the public Treasury, the Bill of Rights, and more . . . )

—> And note that <i>considerably<i> more than a “slight majority” of Health-Justice respondents—the number is rising through the hours—oppose ObamaCare:

“What should HealthJustice do now that it is clear that the DeathEater insurance industry is in charge of health reform?

Wait for the inevitable bad legislation and protest the details
17%

Scream NO like the TeaBaggers
63%

Hope for state single payer plans
19%

Give up and wait to turn 65
1%

Become a Republican
0% ”

A small burning ember in a wood pile takes a strong wind to create a large blaze.
The wealthy if in danger of having their belongings taken away can create that
strong wind. It will set in motion frustrated millions who want white power to
enslave the world.

Harry Reid the primary recipient of bribery by the insurance industry. Hmmm…...what will Harry do?

I failed to find a list of recipients of such monies but I did find this:

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/6/16/report_senator_max_baucus_received_more

“AMY GOODMAN: The Washington Post revealed almost thirty key lawmakers helping draft landmark healthcare legislation have financial holdings in the industry, totaling nearly $11 million worth of personal investments.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has at least $50,000 invested in a healthcare index.

Republican Senator Judd Gregg, a senior member of the Health Committee, has up to $560,000 worth of stock holdings in major healthcare companies, including Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck.

The family of Democratic Congresswoman Jane Harman held at least $3.2 million in more than twenty healthcare companies at the end of last year.

Senator Kerry, John Kerry, and his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry hold at least $5.2 million in companies such as Merck and Eli Lilly.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee plans to hold a key hearing today to discuss healthcare reform. On that twenty-two-member panel, at least eight Senators have financial interests in the healthcare industry. The hearings will be held by Democratic Senator Chris Dodd, whose wife serves on the boards of four healthcare companies. She received more than $200,000 in salary and stock from her service last year.

And Republican Senator Johnny Isakson holds at least $165,000 in pharmaceutical and medical stocks.

Democratic Senator Kay Hagan holds at least $180,000 in investments in more than twenty healthcare companies.”

I am certain that bogi666 will be eager to verify his assertion that Reid is the primary recipient of those funds as he so boldly asserts sans link or verification. I eagerly await such proof.

Senate does not and never has represented the people, so why would they start now?

Harry Reid the primary recipient of bribery by the insurance industry. Hmmm…...what will Harry do?

A recent demonstration in Washington DC , one in which an estimated ten thousand came out in support of a public option ( single payer more accurately) was not covered in any newspaper I read…..

So it isnt just our elected representatives treating us like mushrooms ( in the dark and fed shit).
