One small step closer to the single payer option. I for one can't wait to see the vulture capitalists out of healthcare altogether.

How come the conservatives are all upset about a plan originally proposed by the Heritage Foundation?

Thanks, Barbara.

Mine or anyone else's health, well being and future productivity should not be for sale or be determined by fat cats whose eyes are fixed exclusively on quarterly profits and yearly dividends for their shareholders.
As Haldeman explained to Nixon in regards to Kaiser's HMO scheme, "It's about providing less healthcare for the money, not more."

Beats me, Robbin. Maybe it's because there is a black man's face attached to it instead of some smarmy frat boy like Romney's?

I wish my employer had nothing at all to do with my healthcare coverage.

Maybe, one of these days, they wont?

More from the Hill

In a new op-ed published in The Hill, UFCW President Joe Hansen homed in on the president’s speech at the 2009 AFL-CIO convention. Obama at the time said union members could keep their insurance under the law, but Hansen writes “that the president’s statement to labor in 2009 is simply not true for millions of workers.”

Republicans have long attacked Obama’s promise that “nothing in this plan will require you to change your coverage or your doctor.” But the fact that unions are now noting it as well is a clear sign that supporters of the law are growing anxious about the law’s implementation.
