Of the unfortunate minority of true patriots on Capital Hill, we can count Dennis Kucinich among sober minds like Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul, regarding the present Health Care debacle.
Kucinich states:
“Of $2.4 trillion spent annually for health care in America, fully $800 billion goes for the activities of the for-profit insurer-based system. This means one of every three health care dollars is siphoned off for corporate profits, stock options, executive salaries, [lobbying *] advertising, marketing, and the cost of paper work, (which can be anywhere between 15%-35% in the private sector as compared to Medicare, the single payer plan which has only 3% administrative costs).
“50 million Americans are uninsured and another 50 million are under insured, while for-profit insurance companies divert precious health care dollars to non-health care purposes. Eliminate the for-profit health care system and its extraordinary overhead, put the money into health care, and everyone will be covered, everyone will be able to afford health care.”
There you go. Short, sweet, to the point and 100% accurate! Stop taxing employers and workers and stop trading quality of care to fund continued HMO profits and predation!
You don’t need 1200 pages of comparative effectiveness euphemisms to sugar coat the fact that the plan being ramrodded through the bribe and strong-arm process by Fascist dictator Obama and his harem of Imperial Czars is nothing more than a Health Care Industry Care Package. Just like the banks got THEIR money first, the HMO lobby demands a return on its multi-billion dollar investment, or else (your Bilderberger Country Club membership will be revoked).
“We’re going to get this done,” ranted the Führer at a Rose Garden press conference yesterday. Obama has clearly abandoned the Constitutional system of checks and balances which constrains the office of the Presidency from becoming the bully pulpit of a fascist Dictator.
The only protectors of our sovereignty are State Senators and House Representatives in Congress. The solution lies at the State level, where patriotism and our American heritage still survives.
* [lobbying] added by me to denote the ommission of trillions of dollars spent by the Health Care lobby to protect and grow HealthCare Industry profit centers.

My comment is not for this particular post. It’s the way I view not only this post but your entire site. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! Our tax dollars has already made these white collar criminals too wealthy already!
But why should they think any different? We’ve bailed out these people several times over the past century. They knew the taxpayers money would come to the rescue when they entered their ‘den of theives’.
