Obama is a pathetic liar. He contradicts himself in almost every
statement he makes. His health care dream will be shot down by his own
party, just like Hillary's plan was shot down by Democrats.

Health care needs reform, not socialization.

He does seem to be two faced. Promising labor unions etc. that there will
be a single payer system even if it takes 10 or 15 years to get there.
Then promising said group that nothing will happen to those who have
insurance and are satisfied with it. I don't see how to square those two
positions.

Prove to me your statement on a single payer system. As to the "statistic" on the percentage of
Americans happy with their health coverage, I would love to see that stat broken down amongst those
who have had a major illness, and those who have not. US health care costs average about $7400.00
per person, not family. By far the most expensive in the world.

According to the WHO, (a vast left wing conspiracy, I know) The US health care system is 37th in
overall performance, and a mind boggling 79th in the overall health of the population. The US has
the highest rate of infant mortality rate of all developed countries. Medical costs are the leading
cause of personal bankruptcies. This is disgraceful. We should all be ashamed at how we allow
pharma, and the insurance industry to destroy lives in this country.
