It becomes clearer with each passing day that the legislation being labeled healthcare reform in both houses of Congress is really an industry sponsored special interest bill that isn't healthcare reform at all.  Reid and Obama don't even refer to healthcare reform anymore.  It's now health insurance reform which means it's going to be a Merry, Merry Christmas for big insurance and big pharma as this bill saddles taxpayers with a huge obligation for years to come in order to preserve the rotten system we have and enrich the most parasitic healthcare special interests through a combination mandate and subsidy program.  Meanwhile the illusion of a public option recedes further and further into the distance threatening to be available to a full 1 percent of the population three or four years from now.  Wow!  That is really worth surrendering hundreds of billions of dollars over to the insurance industry isn't it?  I'd say K Street has earned it's money this year by fashioning this albatross that they have convinced Obama and the congressional Democrats to hang around all our necks. 

Despite the extraorindarily corrupt goings on Washington regarding healthcare, some continue to fight for not only what is right, but what makes sense for America and they've produced a second installment of "I'm a Democrat & I'm a Republican."  It's a short video well worth watching.

The best, cheapest, most efficient and equitable solution to the healthcare crisis is Medicare for All.  Anything else is a fraud and that is especially true for the convoluted, far too expensive, ineffective, and status quo supporting bills being considered right now in Congress.
