I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome.

The American people are going to have to do some serious fighting to overcome the corporate influence on health care reform. The most effective option -- single-payer -- will be hotly resisted by people like Baucus.

I have been waiting for a plan that would help people in thir 50's and can not work due to the failure of our workers comp., and ca.sdi system. My case was opened in 2001 and they two just denie the proper testing for diagnose. They only push for pre-existing and have their own doctors to help prove their case against the workers comp client. God forbid they actually provide you the proper care so that you can get back in the work place. I can't wait to see the workers comp.and insurance indusrty, doctors,and attorneys that profit form our injuries all be hit and hard from the single-payer plan. Just think, they would no longer exist.
I don't know why 50% that appose s/p don't care that 98% of their premiums go to corporate investments for the rich to only get richer. Come-on people wake up and get the real facts from your public funded news stations and start fighting for your god given rights as a human being.

The health care debate should be between those who support expansion of Medicare to create universal Single Payer, which is HR-676 and advocates of expansion of the Veterans Health Administration, which would be like the British system. Patents of the VHA have the best health outcomes at the lowest cost of any group in the U.S.A. I believe our best choice would be to expand the VHA to cover everyone. It solves the problems created by fee for service because the health care professionals are salaried, so there is no financial incentive for excessive tests or procedures.

If anyone's interested, I wrote a piece this morning defending a single-payer style system, and the need to classify health care as a human right.

HOW DO WE COVER THE WHOLE WORLD. WE ARE IN Bankruptcy. THE PROGRESSIVE WILSON SIGNING THE FED ACT OF 1913 GAVE IT ALL AWAY TO THE MOST POWERFUL
FAMILY IN THE WORLD."I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence. ANY PERSON CAN COME HE AND GET FREE CARE.

No surprise considering the biography of the point man, Baucus. The man received more money from big Pharma and from the health insurance industry than any other Democrat.

I thoroughly agree that we should learn more about the "single payer" spproach to health coverage. Many other nations use "single payer", I understand.

Good Luck Marcy! I am very disgusted in what used to be the "Democratic" party, particularly over this issue.

The figures you quote here (trillion-dollar deficit, 36 million uninsured) are from the scoring of the INCOMPLETE bill, the version that omits the public option entirely. The scoring was requested by Senate Republicans, who knew the bill was incomplete but used the results anyway. This was extremely well publicized when the CBO report was released.

I don't think it helps the progressive cause to use shoddy research to support good positions.
