Re: Holy fucked up healthcare reform Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!
holy fucked up healthcare reform indeed.
Quote:
President Barack Obama is actively discouraging Senate Democrats in their effort to include a public insurance option with a state opt-out clause as part of health care reform. In its place, say multiple Democratic sources, Obama has indicated a preference for an alternative policy, favored by the insurance industry, which would see a public plan "triggered" into effect in the future by a failure of the industry to meet certain benchmarks.
The administration retreat runs counter to the letter and the spirit of Obama's presidential campaign. The man who ran on the "Audacity of Hope" has now taken a more conservative stand than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), leaving progressives with a mix of confusion and outrage.

Does anybody know what the fuck is going on? More importantly, how many people think we'll eventually get something that's actually opposed to the interests of the health care industry and offers more than token consumer/patient benefits?
