Wow ! ? If you dare to disagree with Dan you had best put your poo shield up first . Our firm with 17 long term local employees just got notice that our current $10,000/ month premium will be raised by 25% next year . We have been dealing with skyrocketing premiums for more than a decade now , and I can see the day coming when we may have to shut the front door . That day, the reform resisters will have their victory . Single payer models prove viable while cutting down on the administrative inefficiencies of private insurance . Throw in the profit margin and bloated compensation of CEO's and it starts to balance . Successful models are out there for us to emulate.

Sorry to offend jcr , but just the fact that folks of your mindset are even talking about reform is a result of what happened last November . Sen . Sheila Kuehle has had a viable single payer proposal for years . It is supported by most California medical professionals ( with the exception of insurers of course ) , but reform resisters such as yourself dont seem to get the importance of resolving the problem .

The health care reform resisters who tout Medicare D as GOP legislation benefitting middle and lower class Americans need to read todays 11/17/09 L.A.Times front page article titled DRUG FIRMS'DEAL IN PLAY ( sorry , couldnt link it ). Thanks for mentioning D and helping prove my point of GOP inaction and ignoring issues facing average Americans . As a single payer proponent , I too oppose the current House bill , although obviously for different reasons than you .

Sorry , the pharma pork protecting D hardly qualifies as it still allows Medicare to be fleeced for presciption drugs at taxpayer expense . We're talking denial of coverage due to previous conditions , outrageous skyrocketng premiums , obscene CEO compensation , millions uncovered including over a million and a half veterans . Come on jcr , keep lookin and ya can get back to us on that .

jcr, so you can belittle me for having an inferior grasp of history compared to .....you ? Thats fine .Conspicuously absent from your rebuke however is your response identifying any G O P legislation specifically addressing the growing crisis of health care reform . Too busy botching foreign policy , while not minding the home front is what the history books will write . After sitting on your hands for eight years as this problem grew, now your soluton is to bitch and moan . Sorry , that wont get it done .

The health care reform resisters that post here have a serious credibility deficit . They want to wave a magic wand , make the blunders of the past administration disappear , and forget they helped perpetuate this friggin mess. Please name me a single piece of GOP sponsered legislation aimed at heading off our health care crisis, or any other legislation that would help middle and lower class Americans. No trickle down, please .

More alarming than the money spent by Wolfswinkle is the type of slime he slung . Throwing poo on the wall to see what sticks may be acceptable in Atwater/ Rove engineered campaigns , but better kept out of our small town arena where folks will remember these slimy tactics. How many gullible low infomation voters bit on the b.s. about one candidates supposed tax problems? Or how about the "From Russia with love " hammer & cycle hatchet job ? Lectures about insults and arrogance ring hollow from those who would approve of the dirty campaign tactics employed by Wolfswinkle .

The blame shifting and spin is probably better utilized on the gullible and those content with low levels of information . Labeling our current predicament as " the Obama economy " is only a superficial attempt at avoiding responsibility . Inheriting a 236 billion dollar budget surplus in 2001 , Bush and the Republican majority quickly reversed course and saddled us with record deficits . Another first for this group was waging a war while not raising taxes to pay for it . While conveniently forgetting that the Bush administration came frantically calling for $ 700 billion to bail out financial institutions in his final few months in office , spinners are all too eager to forget the many shortcomings of Bush and his majority and lay blame on the Democratic Congress which was barely in long enough to warm up their seats . As we watch history filter hyperbole from fact , the stone throwers would be better served spending a bit of time looking back as we move forward .
