Obama is on record saying...
Obama is on record saying he will have an open mind to changes. During the Presidential debates, President-elect Obama said health care in America should be a right. There is no escaping that. The current U.S. medical system run by health insurance companies will be the next financial disaster Americans have to deal with if our leadership wimps out. This battle must be won so the War on Medical Terrorism, which I discuss in my book with that title, is won by all Americans. There are a lot of promises and hopes for the U.S. health care system and a single payer Medicare-type system for all Americans would be a good sensible start towards making this protection from financial catastrophe to working and unemployed Americans a real possibility. There has never been a better opportunity than now.

Money is not the problem. Cost is the problem due to 25-50 cents of every premium dollar going to administration. Wasted money and insurance companies as gatekeepers with only profit in mind prevents what is unique and great about the U.S. medical system from becoming a reality. If health insurers win, universal coverage will only benefit them. Health insurance companies should be embarassed at their performance. They have failed to add value to the system. In fact, the health insurance lobby is so rich, selfish and arrogant that the medical industry is bursting at the seams. Demand is much bigger than supply and, with technology and non profit driven motives, maybe our health will not be taken for granted.
Not all CEOs are dishonest...

Good health promotes freedom. Freedom keeps democracy and capitalism alive. Not all capitalism is vested in this Wall Street disaster. Not all CEOs are dishonest. Single payer would create more jobs and allow U.S. business to flourish in this competitive, global economy that has grown very dependent on U.S. financial leadership. However, this should not be viewed as a picnic for our Peter Principled Fortune 500 CEOs. What a fantastic opportunity to add value to the lives of Americans. We have no excuse to not exercise this opportunity especially in light of this terrible recession. Let's make up for lost time!
