If things just continue to get worse? Because thats the indication as far as I can see.

The numbers just don’t work. Adverse selection will kill any plan that doesn’t mandate buy in. And millions of Americans will go without access to health care for at least another four to eight years, as things continue to get worse.

No President can ask insurance companies to lose money. They aren’t social service agencies.

Thats the problem with Obama’s plan, and its a BIG one. The mandate is the only way to get rates down, without ditching insurance companies entirely. And that would require creating a huge new entitlement program which even though 70% (!) of Americans want it, wont happen because the ones who want it - have less and less political power every year - as jobs dissapear.

(and Obama isn’t proposing any REAL solutions to THAT, either)

Denial wot solve these problems. Hope wont. And that is what Obama represents to many people. To his backers, he represents - the status quo.

Let’s hope the corporations (other than the insurers of course) are finally seeing the costs of not having universal health insurance and will be on board. And that Mr. Cooper has had a change of heart in the past 15 years.

Senator Obama has me doing a lot of hoping these days.

Man. No wonder the blogoshpere is looking dumber then the MSM.

And btw. I thought Hillary was the one that could stand up to the attacks.

Looks like she didn’t stand up with her health care plan.
