Yet ANOTHER Obama Fuck Up

A "Public Option" Would Not Be Overthrown in the Courts Like Obama's Mandated Healthcare Has Been.

Public services provided to the People are paid for through the tax system.

A Public Option or Single Payer Health-care would have fit into the long established and legal precedent of government provision through taxation just like public schools, Social Security, Medicare, police and fire and more.

Either a public option or single payer healthcare would have not have been and could not have been thrown out in the courts.

Mandating Americans to purchase a service or a commodity, especially health-care, will never stand up and will lose at the Supreme Court of the United States, especially this Supreme Court.

Today's predicted defeat for President Obama's ill-conceived "deal" with insurance companies is the first nail in the coffin of the stupid concept. It's finished.

President Obama pissed away a moment in history that will not come again for our generation to provide health care, Medicare for all, or even an incremental expansion of Medicare to children and those 55 and older (which would have passed the Senate and the House, along with provisions for pre-existing conditions).

To Speaker Pelosi's credit, the House of Representative passed the Public Option only to have the White House negotiate it out.

President Obama wasted his first entire year of his Presidency on this doomed "mandated purchase" concept. And it cost us the House of Representatives and nearly the Senate.

Instead of focusing on job creation and the housing disaster, the White House fiddled to this idiotic song that will now be thrown out by the Supreme Court.

One year wasted for nothing.

What an idiotic approach to solving the health-care crisis in this country. And, predictably, it failed.

We are back to square one on health-care and there will still be over 30 million Americans without health-care.

It's simply appalling.
