SocraticGadfly: Obama the healthcare sellout

Obama the healthcare sellout

David Sirota “nails him, but kindly, as an “enigma” on the issue, especially given his one-time support of single-payer national healthcare.

C’mon, David, you know better. He’s Just.Another.Politician.™

Meanwhile, I have to agree with David Brooks: some of Obama’s proposed ideas for healthcare savings have no guarantee or close to it, and some of those that do, won’t pan out for years.

And, since the president of the American Hospital Association just punked Obama on a previously-written agreement to hold down health care costs, we’ll probably wind up with a “healthcare reform” bill at least as watered down as the climate change bill will be.

You know the answer — vote Green.
