7. Yes, this bill is a wealth care bill
for private insurers,big pharma and medical device
manufacturers. Most Democrats (I am a Democrat) will not say
this because they want "anything" to pass, in hopes
that it will be improved on. IF the congress would have
allowed discussion of HR676, medicare for all, and allowed the
CBO to present the costs of this plan, they would have been
amazed (not really, they already know) that it would actually
save us money, insure everyone and put for profit health care
out of business. That is why they "took it off the
table." The insurance companies give them millions a year
for re-election. The only way we can get real reform is by
forcing publicly financed elections on a very corrupt system.
I would, just as soon have the public financed elections
debate (hopefully everyone can agree to that) first and then
the "health care" debate. I hate to think of anyone
else dying from lack of health care, but I realize that our
own Senators will not let a PO pass... Our country has to
change from Fascism before it can reform anything. JMO
