Frankly, this whole idea that Obama is trying to create a population of brainwashed, entitled, state controlled, citizens is BUNK. There is every chance that a government run health system could work BETTER
than what what we have now.

I couldn’t agree more with your take on Big Pharma, but that is a whole different argument. Do you feel safer if your health insurance is managed by a giant for-profit corporation? The same kind of guys who are running Big Pharma?

Your choices for “alternative” treatments are slim to non existent NOW. The insurance companies, if left to their own devices will exclude pre existings, high risk, and any other potentially unprofitable people, they will put a cap on coverage, and they will charge whatever they want to maintain or increase profits. The “dreaded” Obama care is actually addressing these important issues and taking the big insurance companies on. I say RIGHT ON!

Of course there are issues with the FDA, Big Pharma, and the AMA, but these are all separate issues to whether the government or corporations are actually administering the care.

I’ve read a number of your pieces Jon, and have generally been impressed, but this one is sounding like just another unsubstantiated anti Obama rant.
