A Moment for Real Reform

USA must STOP his Unconditonal Love towards Isreal immedately for the Sake of its Own Natonal Security,We all Know that Isrealis are indirectly happy to turn many Islamic fanatics to become "Terrorists"with their cleverly creations now emerging terorists existence looks like a real security treat to Isrealis and the world.
A country with Nuclear Power capabilities cannot be compares with neigboring countries that doesn't have proper arms,let alone Nuclear Power,with that reasons makes them continously Slaughters his neigbors.Now we all understood why the German's Nazi saw and single hand out them from other many various ethnic group as very dangerous minds capable with gven opportunity to be brillant manipulators .Real facts.

A Zionist,a only single country with Nuclear Power capability in Middle-East with USA blessing and total support by USA continously with financial ,Arsenal Supports.
Lucky now President Obama start to realise this Huge mistakes made by past US Presidents President Obama intiatate Isreal to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty directly to Visiting Isrealis Prime Minister now to try correct US past.

Afganistan,Iran,Iraq,many US former Allies,now becoming US enemies,Most recently Pakistan,Iran under real pressure by Islamic Extremist ,What worrying Facts now Countries like Turkey,Eygpt,Jordan,Saudi Arabia, a very Close US partner start to crack up if USA doesn't make a Change 180 turn around or we might likely to Loose them as Amercan close Allies.

Today's Turkey is a part of the Islamic world, supporter of Russian Eurasian policy, a kind neighbor and partner of its historical opponents, Iran and Syria. The quadrilateral alliance is here but its members are different. This is an alliance of Eurasian states: Russia - Turkey - Iran - Syria.
Since the end of the last decade, Russia has made desperate efforts to return to Middle Eastern politics as a superpower. Thus it has, for example, strengthened relations with Iran and Syria.
This policy reached its apogee when, in defiance of Washington's fierce protests, Moscow cooperated with Tehran in the nuclear sphere, and in a pointedly royal manner embraced Bashar Asad during his visit to Russia in January 2005, writing off Syria's debt and signing the agreement on missile deliveries to Damascus (see below).
Turkey, in its turn, is panicking after Saddam Hussein's overthrow, fearing creation of a Kurdish state in Iraq. Aspiring to prevent such a succession of events, Ankara has been drawn to Iran and Syria. Sworn enemies turned if not friends, then allies, in almost no time.
Iran has committed to adding the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) to its " terrorist organizations" list. Turkey has done the same concerning the Iranian group "Mojahedin Halk". The parties have announced an upcoming doubling of the volume of their trade..
American attempts to prevent this visit and the subsequent rapprochement between recent enemies was a failure.

Agreed mac101.

Healthcare reform is needed and should definitely be discussed. As long as it doesn't become another MEDICARE or a freeby that we, the working people have to subsidize for the remianing people on welfare, unemployment etc.

I know Obama is considering some form of free health care for the above and it would just reinforce the WELFARE-STATE mentality. This would result in higher taxes for the working portion of the population, in addition to having to pay for their own health care plan available through their employer. This is usually the approach take by all democrats and Obama is not any different.

What I'm hoping is to see a comprihensive solution for everyone, under all situations.

unbelievable

This is all about how to wreck an industry,force down privacy! At some point the emerging NAZI PARTY in Germany had to push out traditional German practices and norms. One casualty was the German flag, to be replaced by the infamouse swastica flag.
No suprize the fist swastika flag to fly over an official building--replacing the traditional national flag-- was over the governments main medical administration building!
Translation: "We, The Nazis, OWN your bodies now, you stupid sons o ***! And we can medically calculate that's exactly what you are now, from now on! Open you mouth and say 'ARF!' "

The big problem is NOT Obama; it's the Senate. Its clear that some Senators are for sale, some Senators, including Blue Dog Democrats, have hung a red light outside of their offices. The Senate's procedural rules enable a small minority of sell-outs to betray the country. We need to eliminate all the procedural rules. We need to demand an accountable Senate. If Obama's attempts to reach out to the other side of the aisle wind up with bitten fingers, then he needs to resort to the nuclear option whenever the Senate decided to go agains the public interest.

Hey everyone who thinks its a bad idea to have great healthcare that no one can afford I remind you that even the lowliest immigrant can walk in and get great care. You have the same option. You can get the exact same care the illegal immigrant gets. Yes you have to pay for it but it is your freaking life get over it.

I agree with xeyeldinTX. I would like to know how much money private health insurance companies spend on lobbying? How much money to they spend on PAC's, campaign contributions, and outright bribery? It's no wonder the Senators up on Capitol Hill like private health care so much. They get all sorts of "perks."What's more their health care is funded by the tax payers.
According to a recent WHO study, the nation with the best health care system is France, and even the French health care system is cheaper than ours. Contrary to what Galasso believes, demographically contemporary France is not an ethnically homogenous population - one reason Obama's election raises new questions and concerns there. Our health care system is the most expensive in the world. In terms of quality we are number 37. (Both Canada and Britian scored higher than the US.) Cuba hit 39th place, but their infant mortality rate is lower than ours.
According to an article written by Jaime Court published in the Los Angeles times, late January 2009, we'd save a lot of money if we just permitted everyone to buy into Medicare. (We could institute a number of money-saving reforms in Medicare too, starting with Medicare D and Medicare PLUS plans.) The public deserves an opportunity to opt out of the private system. They deserve a say-so in how their medical care dollars are spent. It's the public, not the Wall Street stock brokers, who should have the final word.

Through the Health Insurance companies only about $70 of every $100 in premiums go towards medical services for the payer. A portion of your premiums go to paying grossly excessive salaries to executives (United Health Care's CEO last year pulled down 11 BILLION, plus perks like a free car - guess he couldn't afford one - and financial advisor fees) and to advertising dollars. Medicare, while not perfect, delivers roughly $90 for every $100 spent. For the poster who talks about the inability of government to administer anything and points to SS as an example a little history might help. Ronald Reagan after his huge tax cuts and spending spree found himself with a huge deficit. In order to mask its size the Great One took the advice of Greenspan, and borrowed from SS. And now, since those "IOUs" remain unpaid, SS is fast approaching insolvency. Fixing SS would take very little, either a 1% increase to every payer, or the far superior idea of lifting the cap. You may not like the idea of paying more, but the reality is we would just be paying those IOUs for the glorious plans of Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush 43. We are the government folks, we must rest control from the corporations or continue down the path of becoming their slaves. It really is a simple choice.

Mr. Alter - - I hope you are recovering well and I wish you a complete recovery in the near future. I'm not sure that people realize that you have a persoanl stake in development of the health care plan. One of the most expensive aspects of health care that is rarely discussed is tort reform. When it is discussed, it is usually dismissed (by trial lawyers), however, as an insignificant amount when in fact it is a huge sum of money. Surgeons pay very high malpractice insurance rates and all of these costs plus the shamefully high awards that juries dole out have to come from someplace - ie. those of us who actually pay. John Edwards is a multimillionaire due largely to the sympathy of emotional, uneducated juries. There has to be a reality check on this practice of raiding the bank accounts of the hospitals, doctors, and health care professionals by the aggressive, avaricious legal profession. It is likely to remain a "non-topic" however given the fact that the Trial Lawyers Assoc are big contributors to the party now in power.

Not everyone wants to go the socialist government run system you Marxists want so badly. How would he pay for it? Borrow another 5 trillion or so from China? For what? To provide universal health care to illegals? So we can start rationing care? No thanks.

Obama - Is Change Coming? http://ping.fm/Sp1ym

The author is right: now is not the time to compromise on health care. And I don't plan to. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what happens when government, famous for its utter inability to control costs in anything it does, intrudes into it even further than it already has. Government "red tape" is a cliche for a reason and would just about paralyse the health care system.

I don't think American citizens are going to tolerate being required to pay hugely more, through taxes, if not directly, for poorer health care.

So, no, I'm not going to compromise--I remain unalterably opposed to any attempt on the part of a famously incompetent government to meddle in my arrangements for my own health care!

I could not agree more with Mr Alter there should be no compromise, it is time to provide health care to virtually every American regardless of their economic status.
With 50 million uninsured and that many again under insured, that amounts to fully 30% of the entire population.
It is time for this administration to make health care the priority not the insurance company profits.
Relieving the burden of Health care coverage from the backs of business itself will have a profound effect on the competitiveness of US companies.
Obama needs to take off his "attorney" hat and put on his "For the people hat" and get the job done...
