Liberal Angst?

healthcare imagesNPR is reporting that White House aides and communications director Dan Pfeiffer says the White House is sure 'Liberal Angst' over healthcare will go away once Obama signs the upcoming Healthcare bill. According to Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director,  "We're not overly concerned about these things, first and foremost because there isn't an election tomorrow, not an election the next day."  People close to the negotiations say that the House will roll over on the public option, and is only asking that federal antitrust protections be stripped from insurance companies, and that the insurance exchange be run federally rather than by the states - pretty much dropping all the other progressive provisions in the House bill so it can get through a Senate controlled by bought-off corporate-owned shills like Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and Mary Landreau.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
