Obamacare (Business as usual)

In a nutshell as I see it, it was a political deal that had nothing to do with death panels or socialism. What it did was gave subsidies (our tax dollars) to big drug makers by not purchasing Medicare drugs (Medicare Part D) in discounted bulk rates but paying full retail. Then to really screw the American people he mandated to private for profit insurance companies that another 30 to 45 million Americans enroll in their inflated suck ass programs. Then he insults people like me who complain, by calling me a professional left crybaby in so many terms. Way to go. Change I could believe in, what a crock. Actually what he did was seize about 8 percent of Americas taxable income and is sending it directly to "For profit non government companies". You idiots on the right had the golden opportunity to put a stop to this. You had control of congress for many years and could have regulated the same good things that came out of Obamacare (No pre existing conditions for example) without giving the insurance industry millions more customers. Instead you idiots blew it by talking about death panels and socialism. This bill is cronyism at its best and wealth transfer at its worst. Candidate Obama who I believed in, said on the campaign trail "If mandates were the solution, we could try to solve homelessness by mandating that everybody buy a house". What did we get from him? A mandate to buy insurance. Candidate Obama said that the Big Pharm. wrote into the Medicare Prescription drug plan that Medicare could not negotiate prices with drug companies. And the chairman of the committee who pushed the law through went to work for Big Pharm. making over two million dollars a year. Obama said that's an example of the same old game playing in Washington D.C. He says "I don't want to learn how to play the game better, I want to put an end to the game playing". What did we get from Obama, no negotiations with Big Pharm. companies, but this nation did get to grow its debt even larger. This is what happens when you surround yourself with Washington insiders like Rahm Emanuel or Larry Summers. You know Sarah Palin is dumber than a box of rocks but if she got elected, she is against the whole Washington establishment and that's the appeal that she has to a lot of people in this country. What we need is someone smart enough to run the country and smart enough to not surround themselves with the revolving door that is Washington D.C.
