I have also pointed out several holes in our health system that many people can not get around. They need fixing. They truly are horrible and the lucky ones that never manage to hit those snags are ……………………………very, very lucky. Some smart, but I say lucky. Tort reform would be a very good first step. Simple, but would solve a lot of problems. Something to address the restrictions on previous medical history would be a nice second. There really are some big, bad problems but I still believe that nothing good can come from anything Obama signs. Just because some are in the holes, don’t dump everyone into it.

The Bill as passed by the blue dogs, has a strong public option.

Your moderates have failed.

There is a huge gap between wary and paranoid to the point of stopping anything form passing.

Now, if somebody wants to try to organize a group policy for people who are not part of a group…that is another matter.

Now think about that for a minute. The current protests against the policies of our government are larger than the anti-war protests against the war in Iraq. These aren’t paid “rent-a-mobs” as were used against the Bush administration policies. They aren’t professional “activists”. They are just average people. Thousands of them. None of these “tea party” groups have a central funding mechanism along the lines of the Tides Foundation and Heinz Foundation funding that fed the anti-war groups. They don’t have their message centrally managed by the likes of Fenton Communications who kept everyone “on message” and coordinated the rhetoric of the anti-war astroturf groups such as Win Without War, Veterans For Peace, and Code Pink.

What you are seeing are the true feelings of real people.

Why this phenomenon isn’t a huge media story is beyond me because it really is amazing.

Here is an excerpt from the Hoover Institution (h/t HotAir). Read the whole thing.

1. Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers.
2. Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians. 3. Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries.
4. Americans have better access to preventive cancer screening than Canadians.
5. Lower-income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians.
6. Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the United Kingdom.
7. People in countries with more government control of health care are highly dissatisfied and believe reform is needed.
8. Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians.
9. Americans have better access to important new technologies such as medical imaging than do patients in Canada or Britain.
10. Americans are responsible for the vast majority of all health care innovations.

You’re kidding- right? The bill that passed stands without a government run option. That is why the libs were given a floor vote to add it back in – which will fail because the blue dogs and GOP will vote against it.

Stop worrying about Obama and Dems and Pugs. You are way of focus.

What will fix things for most Americans? Solve this and the rest disappears into history.

He is coming back at a different angle.

Difference between Dims and Pugs? Dims never quit. Never. They fight. Congressional Pugs are just now even considering the idea that they should stop being ladies and gents.

But………………The Won is a different Dim. I would not put my money on Blue Dims. I did bet the imaginary ‘million’ with my spouse in 2004 that The Won would win.

No health care reform any any form at this point. Nothing until tort reform. Pugs should be shouting about the money for lawyers. This is not the same as immigration reform with Bush in the WH.

Yep, Dims correctly identified Palin from the beginning. She was their threat. Their only threat but McCain would not fight. But I still hear the Pug elite not understand what an gem Palin was for the Pugs.

Obama was not hard to understand. He came from the Neighborhood. He told us straight out he intended to change America. He had enough dirt that he should have been buried 10 times over in scandal. The threw the woman that raised him over for a race baiter. He said our electric bills would be higher. He told the woman her mother maybe should have taken the pills and died. He gave the finger on national TV. He told us he was transparent and then hid all his records. In our faces.

Now he told people he would reform healthcare. He didn’t really say how. The Won will reform the money in healthcare to fit into his ACORN view. This is the time for Pugs to really become the party of no. If those Pug Congressional critters ever give him one inch, forget it, it’s done.

Hillary could not beat him.

I’m ready for “regular” people to run this country. Actually George Bush spoke to me as a “regular guy”.
