President Obama, you've sold us out!
According to an AP story published today: "Apparently ready to abandon the idea, President Barack Obama's health secretary said Sunday a government alternative to private health insurance is 'not the essential element' of the administration's health care overhaul."
Dear Mr. President: For months I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, tried to understand about the nuances of the politics of getting things done. But if you do this, if you cave in to the right wing thugs (Republicans) and to the greedy insurance companies, then you will have lost your credibility with me. Earlier today I read a story in the NY Times that said the old Obama network that helped you get elected has been reluctant to help you with health care. Did it ever occur to you this is the very reason why! Because we feel sold out, betrayed.

I agree whole-heartedly. What does this say about the general American populace though? I am in the six percent minority of those insured who do not fall under the "group" insurance umbrella, and that does not even include all of the uninsured. Creating one big group for all Americans would go along way towards insuring the whole country at an affordable cost. Explain to me how it could possibly be cheaper for taxpayers to pay for uninsured Americans' visits to the Emergency room instead of practicing preventive medicine. The fact that the Americans are not outraged at the lack of social justice within the health care debate is abhorrent. I know you know all of this already. I just had to vent...
