"Obama won't delay push on healthcare; Draws praise, while budget watchers wary" by Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff | December 12, 2008
WASHINGTON - President-elect Barack Obama said yesterday his administration would press ahead quickly on national healthcare reform despite the deep recession and soaring federal budget deficit.
The promise of immediate action drew praise from a growing number of health policy interest groups that are clamoring for immediate action on health reform, but some budget watchers raised concerns about the long-term financial consequences.
Yeah, I heard about what they want: The Universal Health Plan You DO NOT Want
Obama said that with American businesses burdened by health costs that hurt their ability to compete globally, and millions of uninsured people unable to afford care, sweeping national health reform has become more urgent....
It sounds good; however, the terms bother me! Whenever I hear urgent or crisis no, I say to myself, "Woah!!" Thanks, George W. Bush, for destroying any faith I had in America's institutions and government!

Now it gets really scary!

Obama's vow to push hard and fast for health reform is further evidence that he sees the recession as an important opportunity: Rather than scale back his agenda, he is using the crisis as a vehicle for accomplishing it.
That is just damn spooky, and I don't like it!!

I mean, it SOUNDS GOOD, but....
A growing chorus of voices is calling for Obama to take on health reform now, including powerful business lobbies such as the Business Roundtable and the National Federation of Independent Business, as well as insurers and healthcare providers. Amanda Austin, a senior manager for legislative affairs for the small business lobby, said her members agree on the need to act now....
If it ain't single-payer like in Sicko, I don't want it!
As many economists and politicians have noted of late, the $100 billion to $150 billion that a reform plan would cost annually seems manageable in light of the $700 billion bailout package Congress passed this fall to shore up the nation's financial institutions....
Yeah, THAT'S RIGHT!!!!
A number of reform advocates also say investing in things like health information technology would not only improve care and over time lower healthcare costs, but also stimulate the economy in the short term.
They ALWAYS got attach FALSE PROMISES to shit, don't they?
"After all, somebody would need to develop the computer systems and operate them for thousands of American healthcare providers," the health economist Jonathan Gruber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology wrote in a New York Times opinion piece last week....
