Obama Care is a cynical disgrace!

It is a crass Corporate subsidy that is so far below the minimum level of decent cost effectiveness for any legitimate national healthcare program that it is below the scum you find at the very bottom of any well!.

Wake Up! It doesn't cover everybody! Not everybody can afford it! Prices have skyrocketed! Our government is SHOVELLING LOADS OF BILLIONS OUT THE DOOR EACH MONTH! There is no documented way to audit or enforce the 85% pay out rule. IT IS A REPUBLICAN CONTRIVED CORPORATE WET DREAM. When Universal Healthcare - an elimination of the Health Insurance Companies that were and remain at the root of the problem in the first place - would be vastly more effective for the NATION AND ITS CITIZENS EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SERVE THE POLITICIANS POLITICAL OBJECTIVE.

The additional people covered by Obamacare would be covered by any national healthcare improvement. They are fixed when comparing across all possible alternatives.

It is therefore obscene to characterize the move to ObamaCare as nirvana when any possible plan that would insure just one more AMERICAN CITIZEN than Obamacare would be preferred. And you mean to tell me that being willing to proceed with the philosphy that "price is no object when government subsidies are available" - as has Obama - that we couldn't insure just one more person than Obamacare using a different plan?!?!

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
