Unionman,
I am also an Independent that truly believed Obama was going to change things for the better.
With his great speeches --He bamboozled me --his word.
He is a typical old school politician and I will work to get him out of office in 2012.
Having Tort Reform, and the 1300 insurance companies in full competition across state lines in the free market have been proposed by the right. Also a one page add on --stating no person can be dropped by insurance companies and you cannot be turned down for pre-existing conditions.
I believe if obama truly wanted Health care reform --he would take these ideas from the right --take the best ideas from the left --and the American people would support him and the bill.
Obama --like you--use the same talking points --the right has NO ideas.
They have many --you and him just will not compromise for the good of the entire country !!!
Even in the change I just proposed --there are left and right ideas --that many in the middle would gladly support !!!
