I'll reply at length tomorrow, but first a clarification. When I said the insurance companies where "behind" Obamacare, I meant they supported it, not that they instigated it. There was an excellent PBS Frontline (not exactly Fox News!) about how Obama made a secret deal very early with the leader of the insurance lobby to basically buy them off so they wouldn't oppose. The price? A mandate that every American buy insurance. It's disgusting, and certainly not "change I can believe in". It's also a perfect example of so-called crony capitalism, which I'll elaborate on when I have more time. In the meantime, try to find that Frontline episode.
