so what your OWN reference says is that, like ALL legislation, the
powerful interest groups had a voice in it...

gee. tell it to the NRA. i suppose they don't do this, do they?

obama was working within the current system. the logical choiice would
have been to dismantle the insurance companies and go to a single
payer system

but the right wing would NEVER have supported this...they WANTED the
insurance companies to have a voice...

oh...wait...the companies DID...

The point was that you like to blame the GOP for everything bad that
happens to you but they were the only ones who had NO voice in this
medical legislation you are now criticizing.

uh no. first, the GOP would never have permitted the BEST solution...a
single payer system...to take hold. THEY guarded the insurance
companies under the guise of 'free enterprise'.

2nd the GOP has been ranting about 'rationing'....it's already being
done by their friends the insurance companies

3rd we DID have a voice...that's why we got SOME health reform that
will cover almost everyone AND, according to the CBPP, will reduce the
deficit

conservatives? free market fundamentalists that led to our current
meltdown
