Why Are People with Health Insurance Going Bankrupt?

69. I'm so tired of the blame Baucus and Obama is powerless excuse...

according to some people Baucus was in control of the initial WH summit on HC when those in support of a national HC system were denied access. Baucus was also in control of the WH town hall meeting on HC when Obama's personal physician of 20 years was invited and then canceled at the last minute because his question would focus on a national not for profit HC system.

Poor Obama, no one ever told him Baucus was in charge.

Every time I read this sad excuse I can only picture Obama as Eeyore hanging his head low and accepting misfortune instead of trying to prevent it.

Poor Obama, Baucus was in control, nobody would listen to me.

How do you win a fight if you silence the harshest critics of those who hold power....

Please do not tell me that you are fighting the entrenched interests when you invite them to the discussions and private meetings and exclude those who have been fighting the For Profit companies for decades.

President Obama calls on Karen Ignagni of AHIP to speak on HC reform.

Imagine if P. Obama had called upon Dr. Maria Angell to speak at the WH summit instead of Karen Ignagni, members of Congress might be pleading for a public option.
