		<description><![CDATA[It is so sad to witness the failure of my country due our own ignorance... we let this guy win.... because we have incompetent competition is this country.... As Will Rodgers said &quot;We have the best government and the best politicians that money can buy&quot;.... Just look at  this mess... a supposedly PhD from Harvard that no one has ever seen his academic records... unbelievable... When I applied for a job in the air force.... they checked by mother&#039;s pulse to see if I was really what I said I was... When I later became a major voice in international engineering, construction &amp; management... I was checked and rechecked, double checked... just to get a job!  How is it that a minority, unproven, inexperienced dumb ass, can assume control of this country?  HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twenty-five years ago &quot;Managed Care&quot; became the operational insurance industry model for health care reimbursement, the dark harvest of seeds planted with the HMO Act of 1973 (thanks, Ted Kennedy and President Nixon). The flaw was in thinking that centralized financial controls (fee schedules, CPT codes, ICD codes, etc) could rein in medical inflation. This system was birthed in full by the private insurance industry under Federal guidance.  I watched and experienced this phenomenon first -hand as a Family Physician. This was a time when the definition of the word &quot;referral&quot; morphed from &quot;a personal, individualized clinical connection to a specialist initiated by the Primary Care doctor&quot; to &quot;an insurance company approval number&quot;. So now some think that magnifying the dysfunction of the managed care system via an increasingly centralized government one will be the answer? As I have said repeatedly over the last twenty-five years to anyone who would sit still long enough: &quot;If central control of a highly complex clinical, social, economic system could work, we would long ago have been calling each other &quot;Comrade.&quot; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The most passionate sincere supporters of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be the most disappointed.&quot; 
 
Sadly, they won&#039;t. That would require actual reflection and thought. Most likely they&#039;ll just continue to blame someone else - conservatives, doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, etc. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obamacare is BARELY s_cialism--I wish it were, in a way, whole-hog s_cialism. As it is, it is a sop to all the interests involved. Everybody accomodated, nobody happy. 
 
Health care costs are out of control. They were out of control before Obamacare, they&#039;d be out of control had Obamacare not made it through Congress. But it did make it through--a tremendous achievement--and should Mr. Romney be elected, he&#039;ll probably keep most of it as is. He is, after all, the father of Obamacare. 
 
Through the whole controversy, conservatives--when finally forced to act--made weak pudding (talk of tort reform, etc). This was ironic* considering the ACA resembles the Nixonian initiative and originated with the Heritage Foundation. The GOP congressman who offered a viable alternative solution&#039;s plan was so similar to Obama&#039;s, the party told him to can it. 
 
And then? the biggest objection, the biggest manufactured &quot;outrage&quot; was over the mandatory nature of this. Sorry--if you were born with a brain, you&#039;d realize having coverage should be mandatory. Just like every other industrialized nation. That should be non-negotiable. 
 
What is negotiable: government&#039;s role. Like you, I do NOT want a government-run system (Obamacare is not a government run system, btw, but it, too, is weak pudding). I&#039;d like mandatory coverage with a basic level, contribution based on income, at which no insurance company is allowed to profit. But after that, private companies compete to sell you a package appropriate for your needs. If you have money, you&#039;ll continue to get the best care money can buy. But if you have no money, you still receive a basic level of care. And priavte industry competition keeps prices down and allows for innovation. Switzerland and Singapore do this. 
 
*not really ironic, since finding any policy difference between an Eisenhower Republican and Barack Obama is impossible ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ObamaCare will fail because Obama failed as a President. He was not honest in his dealings with the American people, and he tried to shove down, or up (you figure it out). The other reason it will fail was it was not bipartisan, with Nancy Pelosi spearheading the effort, what else can you expect. We do need some form of health care reform, but it has to be a joint effort.  
Look back to George W, and his Prescription Drug Program, it was more bipartisan than ObamaCare, and even though there has been critics of it, it is still one heck of a good program. ]]></description>
