IS BIPARTISANSHIP A DELUSION?

Is it worth the struggle for President Obama to get a bipartisan Health Insurance Reform Bill passed? The Republicans have come out and said they will oppose any bill, one that includes a Public Option, a Co-Op, whatever. Now he has the opposition of the Blue Dogs in his own party to deal with. Since we voted President Obama into office along with a democratic majority in both the House and Senate, do the people even care about bipartisanship? At what point does the President say screw them.. let's use our majority and just push through a good Bill for the People?

FINALLY. OBAMA EXPLAINS IT IN 7 MINUTES.

Please take a few minutes of your time to watch the facts.

The only thing he doesn't mention is that government-provided Medicare for Seniors WILL NOT CHANGE. They are simply cutting the wasteful spending of Medicare Advantage, which is NOT Medicare, but private insurance (Anthem, Humana, Blue Cross) that offers SUPPLEMENTAL health care plans to your existing Medicare.

The name is part of what's causing the confusion.

BLUE DOG BRAGS ABOUT KILLING SINGLE PAYER

Firedoglake reports today that the Blue Dog Democrats held the bill hostage in the committee for 10 days until they took the single payer option out. Yes, this is really something to brag about Mike Ross. Why don't you go back to being your true self:  a Republican who only cares about all the campaign contributions you've received from the Health Care Industry. Isn't that the REAL reason why you're stopping this?

FINALLY, THE LAME BLUE DOGS ARE CALLED OUT.

Keith Olbermann rages against republicans & blue dog democrats who are doing every thing in their power to prevent the Health Care bill from included the much-needed public option. Why? Because they've been bought and paid for by health care corporations. Finally, someone in the media is calling them out.
