Reply #17: This op is absolutely right and the President is wrong NOW. Enough.

We will get the profiteers out of American health care when enough of us demand it.

I do not care that he talked kindly about single payer but did not run on it. If the Democrats fail on this again and again, some people who haven't already are going to figure out that Democrats cannot get the job done. Who praised the President for speaking to us like we were adults. He talks to us like he can't get the job done when it comes to health care. I am willing to give him time, but time doesn't seem to be the problem, it is will.

If we want to kill the Republican Party, we need single payer option, just eliminate the age limits on medicare and let people buy in NOW. How freaking hard is that? I do not want the health care industry to compromise until they can get a Republican Congress, President, or more NEW Dems.

We can no longer afford profiteers in the health care INDUSTRY.

The Republicans are worried about single payer more than any other issue because they know they will be tombstoned as a party. If you want to argue the President should ignore the American people or delay, I think you are kicking his legs off from under him. I do not trust his advisers and I do not respect a lot of the excuses and delays coming from the President, pragmatist though he may well be.
