Reply #22: Who are these 30 million Americans you claim now have health insurance, [View All]

[Bette Noir]

who didn't before? The "reform" we were handed was a sick joke.

My husband and I pay 75% of our current income for "health insurance" that pays ~30% of our health care costs. Don't tell me what a great success that has been. And don't try to tell me that the wars are over, or almost over; one is simmering, and the other is at an active boil.

All the money in the country is still headed for Wall Street, homes are still being foreclosed on, REAL unemployment in my state hovers near 30%, counting the folks whose benefits have expired, or who never qualified due to technicalities.

I'll give you "saving the auto industry."

As for the rest, "better than McCain" is a pretty low bar to cross. I don't remember Obama's campaign slogan being, "At least I'm better than McCain."
