President Obama needs to cut off the funding for extremely expensive insurance that the members of the Senate and House enjoy for free. This would be great motivation for the Legislative Branch to pass a national health care plan and give them a lot of money to start it up with. We need more exposure of our Legislative members’ dealings with medical, drug and insurance lobbyists to find out who’s on their payroll. Watch the debates over health care in congress on C-Span and you will see who the lapdogs of these lobbyists are; they are the ones arguing against change.
There are other groups that the lobbyists have to fight against national health care that need more exposure. Mediums of information like the Fox News Channel are part of medical, drug and insurance propaganda machine. Fox’s job is to put fear into the minds of their viewers and they have some of the world’s best lying pundits and fake scripted news stories. Another group influenced by these lobbyists is conservative Christians who have health insurance don’t care about the people without insurance. Is this how we roll in Christendom?
The bottom line is these three industries have been running a Ponzi like scheme on the American people for a long time and have gotten unbelievably rich and powerful. We have the most expensive health care in the world but yet we rank 27th in the world when it comes to quality.
