“Your sarcasm would be meaningful if national health programs weren't working well in all the "first-world" nations. If they weren't providing care at far less cost than our mess. If they didn't have lower infant mortality rates.....”

“Yeah, that's what I'm askin'! I believe the answer is Pharminsure money and power. The 60-vote fixation is just an excuse, cover for not really wanting to pass anything anyway.”

“If they wanted to pass anything. All they want is to try to not get blamed for not passing anything, so picture Lieberman as a popular scapegoat, along with desperately bleating about the 60 votes right up to the rich troughs of their corporate masters.”

“Not sure there are actually many of those: isn't the situation that they need 60, which means they need Slimebag Joe? I think the "we need 60" is just a cya excuse, myself. They know which side their bread is buttered on, and Pharminsure has all the butter....”

“I hope this boycott idea gets some traction. I don't think the barrier is so much everyone for themselves as it is scary. There has to be a sense of "critical mass," or the brave ones end up even more victimized by the private system. Organizing might include a "shadow" system being constructed, maybe a network of doctors who pledge a patient space or two.....”

“It would in a "democracy ." You reflect three fallacies: 1) that The United States has government of, by , and for the people, and 2) that governing decisions make sense, and 3) that government representatives tell the truth, as in "We want to save money...."
Maybe we need to start the whole conversation over from the perspective that our problem is that we actually are living in a corporate fascist imperialist state in which government considers 99% of the population as a petty inconvenience except as a "market."”

“Yes, it looks like Donny and Tax are serious that teabag protesters actually make a difference. Reality check: these boors are just something colorful for tv to fill broadcast time with. There is an appearance of influence only because they happen to be on the same side as Pharminsure, which is the same thing as supporting what the prostituted legislators really want anyway.”
