Fresh from grabbing much of the U.S. auto and banking industries, the Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats are moving briskly toward nationalized health care. In a letter to Senate Democrat leaders, President Obama has called for forcing all Americans to have health insurance, employers to offer insurance plans or pay a fine, and to create a government alternative insurance plan.
If we say we want to change, we need to mean it. We need to be highly motivated and never lose sight of those motivating forces. We must clearly see the benefits of changing and clearly see the disadvantages of keeping things as they are.
The health care debate rages on and on and I’m wondering if anyone really cares much anymore. It’s basically you and me against the corporate insurance world, Big Pharma and their lobbyists. Anything that has a snowball’s chance of passing both the House and Senate is likely to be some watered-down reform that almost certainly will not be any godsend to the American people.
The journalist in me was tempted to publish a pro and con series of articles on the Democrats’ proposed National Healthcare Plan that is winding its way through our U. S. Congress.

While passing cosmetic legislation that will effectively serve to hurt the majority of Americans and, greatly enhance the bottom-line of banking, oil and health care corporations, Democrats since the election of President Obama, like their Republican partners in crime, are allowing citizens to become more and more economically enslaved. For example, government sources announced not long after so-called health care “reform” passed, that projected costs for health care will nearly double by 2020.
The United States is the only one of all industrialized nations that does not have some kind of system providing health care to all of its citizens. How can we ignore upwards of 45 million people and growing that do not have access to affordable health care? There are many things on our collective plate that need attention and if ignored will result in grave consequences. We have been discussing this dilemma for many years. Other issues of war and the economy have cast a shadow over the political campaign and now tackling the challenges ahead.
