[QUOTE="804brown, post: 810527, member: 29553"] Obama's Health Care Reform actually brings more people into the system for instance kids of members under 26 yrs old.It stops insurance companies from turning down people with pre-existing conditions, children wil no longer be denied care ,etc. Party gone "so far left"?? LOL! Maybe you need to be educated a bit. What was done nationally, was backed by people like Bob Dole in 1993 and implemented in Mass. by Gov Romney a few yrs ago! Please, he could have implemented a single payer plan ,like a Medicare for All, but he opted for a plan which empowers the private sector. It gave the private insurers 32 million new customers. That's not socialism buddy! As for France and Germany, they have more of a mixed economy, not socialism. They both have capitalist economies with a strong publically subsidized social safety net including health care, child care and college education. As for the Novmeber 2010 elections, don't be fooled. It was not a rejection of Obama or the Dems. It was quite simply an awful economy, the worst since the Great Depression. Dems were in control and they were last year's scapgoat, nothing more. People have already figured out they made a mistake voting in this right wing majority. Im sure that will be corrected next year in 2012! And I would like to personally thank the Gov of Wisconsin for waking up the labor movement in this country. It has been asleep since 1997. For those in the NYC area, we will be marching/protesting in front of Fox news headquarters (122 6th ave NYC) at 5pm! Solidarity! [/QUOTE]
