Sarandon...welcome I think you might be new here!

I agree with your comments.

It seems to me that the best Obama could do with the Congress he had was the Mass Romney plan which was essentially a republican health care plan used in Mass. It bore no resemblance to Single payer. And the drug issue is Big Pharma controlling its vested interests while the VA can negotiate good drug deals for its constituents but for no one else.....

These issues are very clearly under the control of major medical business players...the common good is NOT the concern. Profit IS.

And I think that is going to deteriorate substantially further and the most vulnerable are the poor, the sick and the elderly.
