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?!?!

Doesn't it bother anyone that the GOP is backing ObamaCare? What does that say?

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 Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
