Progressives to Senate: Kill the Bill

Congress is so out of touch with the American people. They've become like parents deciding what's "best" for us.

"A problem can never be resolved by the same level of awareness that created it" Albert Einstein. It was the world BIG OIL MONOPOLY who invaded our agriculture with their spin off petrol Monopolies of Big Corporate Farming, Big GMOs, and Big Pharma and caused the "health care crisis" by causing people to develop degenerative diseases unknown before the 20th century when organic farming was still widely practiced. Big Oil and its spinoffs have been buying both major parties' erected reps for the past 100 years to subsidize the causes of their health care epidemic problem to set people up to exploit them further... Now those same Monopolists want to combine with Big Insurance to "legalize" their Monopoly via their bought dogs on Capitol Bill. Well guess what ? Their phony idea of health care reform CAN'T happen. And any idea that it could is the pipe dream of mindless wishful fools who believe in political fairy tales. And by the way, the definition of Monopoly was also established long, long before these Capitol Bill idiots came along and recently, laughingly, pretentiously claimed they could "redefine the Insurance industry as a Monopoly". That's viciously deceitful. They can't define shit anymore than a ventriloquist's dummy can cut the strings puppeteering it, to make it appear as if it had a mind and voice not being controlled by it's puppetmaster. CORPORATIONS OWN THEM. CAPITOL BILL IS THEIR PROPERTY. If you don't want to be the property of Corporate Party Monopoly puppet masters, wake up and stand up for your rights, and sign the petition. Capital Bill doesn't own the 1st Amendment either, or those seats they only temporarily occupy, which can be remedied too. A true adult Westerner would never ask the Gummint to do for him what he can do for himself. You want true health care reform, and not Gummint Slavery ? Then eat an apple, and think for yourself. Those stuffed shirt suits on Capitol Bill are with the parasites who ARE the health care problem. And it doesn't take a genius to understand the simplicity of Einsteins common sense: That they can't solve the problem they themselves have created. And you're only fooling yourself to believe they can. They can't and they won't. Their one party system that is the Corporate Party system in Washington,D.C.is no different in it's Monopoly control over the USA than the Communist Part was over the USSR. Funny that you don't hear much from them anymore isn't it ? They were replaced by the BIG OIL Mafia. Get the point ?

We are being robbed ! Revolt sounds good to me .

This is an example of how corporations work together and exclude the little guy (or whoever they want to exclude). I tried to start an independent P.T. private practice here in Peoria but when I called United Healthcare, they said they already had enough providers and wouldn't let me in. The fact that Peoria just won the award for start up businesses is a joke. (The joke is on me). Once gain, if you are a Republican, your business has a chance, but if you are a Green, forget it.

The Greening of America by Charles A. Reich
What is the nature of the present American crisis?.........the present crisis is an organic one...it arises out of the basic premises by which we live and that no mere reform can touch it.

1.Disorder, corruption, hypocrisy, war.
…..there is lawlessness and corruption in all the major institutions of our society – matched by
an indifference to responsibility and consequences, and a pervasive hypocrisy that refuses to
acknowledge the facts that are everywhere visible.

2.Poverty, distorted priorities, and law-making by private power.
…...there is a superabundance of some goods, services, and activities such as defense manufacture, while other needs, such as education and medical care, are at a starvation level for many. These closely related kinds of inequality are not the accidents of a free economy, they are intentionally and rigidly built into the laws of our society by those with powerful influence; an example is the tax structure which subsidizes private wealth and production of luxuries and weapons at the direct expense of impoverished people and impoverished services. The nation has a planned economy and the planning is done by the excise of private power without concern for the general good.

3.Uncontrolled technology and the destruction of environment.
...if undirected... (technology and production) pulverize everything in their path: the landscape,
the natural environment, history and tradition, the amenities and civilities, the privacy and
spaciousness of life, beauty, and the fragile, slow-growing social structures which bind us
together. Organization and bureaucracy...increasingly dictate how we should live our lives...

4.Decline of democracy and liberty; powerlessness.
((This was written in 1970: if this had been written today, it would say the Constitution and Bill
of Rights have been eliminated.))

The Constitution and Bill of Rights have been weakened....power captured by
corporations...decisions made by experts safely insulated from the feelings of
people...corporate power is free to ignore both the stockholders and consumers...liberty has
eroded...Today both dissent and efforts at change are dealt with by repression. The
pervasiveness of police, security men, the military... show the changed character of American
liberty.

5.The artificiality of work and culture.
...For most Americans, work is mindless, exhausting, boring, servile, and hateful, something to be endured while “life” is confined to “time off”...activities fabricated by others and forced upon us.

6.Absence of community.
….Protocol, competition,, hostility, and fear have replaced the warmth of the circle of affection
which might sustain man against a hostile universe.

7.Loss of self.
….an individual is systematically stripped of his imagination, his creativity, his heritage, his
dreams, and his personal uniqueness...people virtually become their professions, roles, or
occupations, and are henceforth strangers to themselves.

Patience grasshoppers.

The bill has not even gone to conference yet. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. A half of loaf is better than nothing.

Right now the bill is more insurance reform than health care reform, but it is a start. This reform will help many people.

This bill is a start. It is a foundation upon which to build future reform.

To kill the bill would be immoral and political suicide for Democrats.

Keep hope alive.

Yes we can.

"Look what the Republican Party stands for: opposition to American working men and women, the channeling of trillions of dollars to the richest Americans, hatred of gays, hatred of immigrants, continued smoldering racism, opposition to desperately needed health care reforms, opposition to all environmental protections, spitting hatred for science, hatred for public schools, hatred of all those who are not fundamentalist Christians, support for torture, support for rendition, and support for the fantastically corrupt Bush-Cheney regime. The conservative cancer is the perpetuation of all the worst features of American life--intolerance, fear, prejudice, and tribalism."

SINCE ANYTHING OUTSIDE THIS OBSCURANTIST NARRATIVE SEEMS LIKE BLESSED RELIEF; WE WILINGLY COMPLY TO THE BEST OF THE WORST ;)

Kill the bill. It isn't health reform. It's another tool for our corporate overlords to use us as cash cows, to keep us unthinking consumer whores without rights. This is garbage! It's time to start over, from the start, we need to vote out the people representing us right now, because they aren't representing us. They represent their own political agenda, and because corporations contribute to their campaigns, they are the ones pulling at the politicians' strings. I don't give two fucks about what will happen to Democratic seats in 2010 and 2012. I don't care at all about their political campaigns. That shouldn't even be a factor at all in deciding what to do about health reform.

Sometimes I think it's like we are in the Matrix, where those in power put on a show for us that we accept as reality, meanwhile they are feeding off us for their power/money. We are farmed like a resource. We serve in the military, go to our jobs, we pay taxes, consume products, etc, but it is the corporate agenda being served, not the people's. I'm not really sure we can call ourselves a democracy any more. Whoever pays off the politicians gets their way.

The Democrats want to pass something that is health care reform only in name and they expect to gain political points for doing this? That's bullshit. Kill this bill, it is an insult to the American populace. We have no voice, for nobody really represents us.

These idiot shits on Capitol Bill lamely proclaim they're representing us, and that they're doing us for our own good !!! What a corrupt, rotten to the core cluster fuck
of bought dogs they realy are !!! I don't support terrorism, but if I did, I'd claim the only real "health care reform" was going on a sniper mission to waste these Corporate Party clerks who'd vote this UnConstitutiional Monopoly in. Better to flush the Capitol Bill turncoats down the toilet than the USA and the People. Isn't it obvious they've turned their backs on "all authoity the Government has derives solely from the consent of the people to be governed " Abraham Lincoln. The American people don't want this piece of shit Corporate Monopoly monstrosity rammed down their throats !!! Even a gang of high school kids on crack cocaine could come up with a less worse bag of shit than this thoroughly crooked, corrupted piece of crap. This isn't what we pay those worthless stuffed shirt suits to do for us, now is it ? THIS SHIT BILL IS THE BIGGEST DISGRACE I CAN EVER REMEMBER SEEING PARADED AROUND IN THE LIGHT OF DAY. It's adamantly opposed to all that which the veterans who sacrificed their lives for our Liberty during WW2 died for. As tactless as it must (superficialy) sound to say this, because you know they're too ignorant to repeal such a monstrosity as this, they should be shot for voting this up. Note I didn't say with what.

I think its partially because some previous United States leaders have tried to beat it into the heads of their loyal followers that socialized medicine is an evil thing that will lead to this nations ruin.

Why are people so afraid of copying another country's health care system?
