I dislike the notion of a single payer health care system. Why? the organized lobbies you just mentioned would push for increasingly larger pay-outs, and we'd lose what little control we have over expense and individual choice.
At the moment, there are still small pharma companies trying to make a buck. If the big guys are ripping people off on drugs that they can make cheaper...they will. They'll make them cheaper, and I will buy them. It's my job as a good consumer to know this, and do this. If Uncle Same becomes the one and only insurance provider for health care, you say buy-buy to those little pharmas.

What amuses me is that if Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, the race card will be played and pressure put on her to name Obama as her running mate. If she doesn't, look for riots in the streets. If Obama wins the nomination and doesn't name Hillary as his V.P. running mate, then he discriminates against a white women. Edwards is the wild card here. It's their own daffy political correctness gone wild. Pure entertainment for a Republican like me.

Obama, on the other hand, is full of all kinds of fizz and vinegar. He's got just enough intellect to know he's right, and just enough ego to insist that you know it. I was snarky like that in my youth. Being right mattered more than anything else to me.
Now that she knows how fragile his ego is, she'll wait. Best not to use a weapon like that until its really really necessary.

(the final end to a bush-clinton dynasty) & Obama (the 1st phase of P.C.
liberal thought) to both end with 20% of the popular vote & the electorial college vote.... this appoaching Venus+Jupiter conjunction with the Moon is a sure sign of 'change', the New or Drafted candidate----should make headlines between now and February

O.K. folks....Here is my prediction for the future presidency of the United States of America! DRUMROLL PLEASE!! Hillary is "elected" barely squeaking by whatever dupe is picked to run on the Republican ticket- with Ron Paul on an independant ticket being used as the "spoiler" (remember Ralph Nader and Ross Perot anyone?) dividing the Republican vote making the election of her despised murdering lying scumbag a#$ seem plausable.

W "retires" to enjoy his old age in a drunken drug induced stupor after doing his final part in the "Grand Illusion" by keeping the U.S. economy barely afloat by carpet bombing the nation with $100 bills, the economy will finally crash in flaming ruins during Billarys first year in office. The yowls from the media shills and Neocon players will be heard far and wide as they tell the nation what fools they were to trust the nation to a "Liberal."

As the Great Depression of '09 grips the world Congress continues to do its "job" by talking about talking. Civil unrest sweeps the nation causing a "tearful" Hillary to take a tough stance and implement draconion measures and deploy American troops on American soil to "restore order."

Then- as Lady Liberty reels from being punched and kicked from every direction by the architects of the New World Order, the next fabricated "terrorist" attack will occur in late 2011 perhaps in lets say oh .. maybe...mid september... I will take a wild guess here and say September 11, 2011. Even as the radiation still makes the melted slot machines glow amidst the smoldering ruins of Las Vegas ,the drumbeat of the Neocons grows louder and louder as they tell the hopeless nation how this was all their fault for being so stupid as to trust our security to weakling liberals.
