...on what a Single-Payer insurance system would be.
Did we?

If our President really worked for us then why didn't he demand one at the start of this process?

1. Because single payer would have been "too disruptive"

or so he claimed.

2. You were so busy fighting this President from the get go,

instead of fighting the true opponents to any health care reform,
while they were doing their thing at the town halls and shit for weeks,
and you continue to do it some more. In fact, that's all you've ever done....
fight those who could have given you some of what you wanted, instead of fighting
those who didn't want you to get anything.
And yet, you continue to make your demands.....
Perhaps if you would have been willing to work with the President,
and against his opponents,
we would be in a different place now.

3. I find no comfort in this President

Because ConservaDems make me sick.

5. Who made a deal to keep the reimportation of drugs into US? Obama!

On the campaign trail, Barack Obama vowed to take on the drug industry by allowing Americans to import cheaper prescription medicine. "We'll tell the pharmaceutical companies 'thanks, but no, thanks' for the overpriced drugs -- drugs that cost twice as much here as they do in Europe and Canada," he said back then.

On Tuesday, the matter came to the Senate floor -- and President Obama forgot the "no, thanks" part. Siding with the pharmaceutical lobby, the administration successfully fought against the very idea Obama had championed.

"It's got to be a little awkward," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).

It's even more awkward for millions of Americans who are forced to pay up to 10 times the prices Canadians and Europeans pay for identical medication, often produced in the same facilities by the same manufacturers, simply because the U.S. government refuses to rein in drug prices.
