He didn't. That's a complete distortion. Are you claiming that you
were more
in favor of the House version? If so, I agree. It was better. The
one that
finally passed had lots of compromise built in. That's call
politics. It's
also not the end of the line for reform.


That right wing network PBS reported it on Frontline, naming the
lobbyists. I suppose they could have lied but nobody called them on
it.

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.


That's not true. Health care reform was watered down repeatedly in order
to attract some Republican votes. But no matter what the Dems did, the
Repubs would not go for it because real reform would not be good for
their insurance company owners and, of course, the stated GOP leader
goal of doing whatever it could to "destroy" the Obama presidency.

Dems watered it down, GOP was against it to the wire. Dems forced it.
Any watering or problems, the be 100% on the democriters heads. Don't
weasel on it.
