It's not an "option" if you have no choice

Obama's ratings are going down as people are none too thrilled about his Bush-like policies on health care reform, Afghanistan, and the economy. As Obama and his action team sit in backrooms deciding how to split up the bounty that is health care, millions are watching.

Right now there are nearly 50 million people in America, who are not insured. Those uninsured range from students, single moms, low income, middle class, employed and unemployed. Regardless of the reason why, the fact remains that a significant portion of American citizens are uninsured. Not to mention how many are underinsured!

With "promises" such as health insurance co-ops it is not surprise that people are growing tired of the same old from Washington. For instance, private health insurance companies will receive government subsidies to help pay for low income recipients. The list goes on of backtracking on crucial health care reform, like dropping the percent of expenses that insurance companies have to pay for low income people from 80-90 to 65. Big Pharma too gets a sweet deal, with 10 years to drop off $80 billion from prices.

It is no wonder that people are not satisfied as the Obama administration surrenders to the status quo.
