What America needs

It is the American way to make increased profits at any cost. The past few administrations have been pandering to crappy car makers, the bad gamblers of the banking industry, and blatant disregard of patients needs by the health insurance providers, not to mention the war profiteering going on.
Now we could just keep on doing the same old thing and watch this great country go down the crapper, or we could try to actually DO SOME UPGRADING which will obviously put the revenue in the hands of those involved in the process. SO WHAT? Those responsible for letting the high standards of American industry slip should be culled anyways, they had their opportunities and wasted them, failing to do anything except hoard billions. The trick is to ensure somehow that there will not be another collapse of integrity with the rise of greed. Some sort of oversight on fair practices, and strict punishment.
The most important thing we can do is limit the constitutional rights of corporations. They are made up of individuals who have rights, the whole entity gains too much influence over policy if it is given the same rights as, or more rights than a citizen.

Insurance Company Must Pay $10 Million For Revoking Policy Of Teen With HIV

They sooner we pick these ticks off of our pocketbooks, the better off we all will be. Health insurance is a redundant middle man industry which is driving costs up by forcing hospitals to hire staff to deal with paperwork, taking exorbitant pay without actually PRODUCING anything, and defaulting on their promised coverage.

Basically the care they deem acceptable is covered by the premiums already taken from that patient= they profit. They drop a patient after they have paid their premiums as expected, altogether denying treatment= they profit.

The only way the health care insurance providers actually lose money is if they get sued for wrongful rescission and lose the case.

Odds are they win every time unless something is done to regulate their behavior.

Look into the rights of a corporation they are gaining MORE constitutional right to influence the political scene than an individual American Citizen.

Obama Schoolchildren Speech Drives Right-Wing Batty

It's about following the lead of the elected official, he wants to lead us back to being an educated, cutting edge society again. Someone is going to have to follow someone elses lead, bottom line. The idea that we will all get what we want is preposterous, the previous administration had it's turn. It led us into 2 wars, and propagated the already tenuous wall street situation through increased de-regulation, schools lost more of the peripheral programs. Now the President is tasked with fixing these cumulative programs, we should truly learn about and share his vision. We the people are failing to see the opportunity before us; to break free of the path we are being led down by corporate America

Obama Schoolchildren Speech Drives Right-Wing Batty

The Anit-democratic, anti-education, anti-health, anti- American, pro Corporation, pro-greed party is going to destroy this country just to keep a black man from succeeding at restoring it's former glory.

Whether it is his skin color or his party affiliation, the drive to cause the failure of this administration is unconscionable. Any Americans who would destroy our country for these reasons is beyond treasonous. Following rhetoric without researching the facts is ignorant, repeating it and spreading misinformation will bring our country to a very low point in our history. It seems that common sense has left the building.

Bachmann: We Should "Slit Our Wrists, Be Blood Brothers" To Defeat Health Care Reform

Her (unintenti­onal?)call for mass suicide is actually quite poignant and literally true. If all the anti-health care reform folks do as she says by actually slitting their wrists, the reform bill would be passed. If they do as she is attempting to insinuate and unite to defeat it, that would be national suicide indirectly imposed upon the uninsured by the insurance companies.

The status quo has not worked to ensure the health of our citizens. And if you factor in the amount of money that goes into our system with the average health of Americans as compared to that of other modern countries; the discrepancy is ginormous. We are being fleeced.
