Two For Two: Podesta Answers My Question about Single-Payer -- It's Off The Table


Thanks to all who went over to ThinkProgress.org yesterday and rec'd my question.  It was ranked as 3rd.  When Podesta answered it (about half-way into the first screen), the answer is clear.  The Health Care proposal coming out of this administration will be insurance-based.  To be fair, this is what Obama ran on.  But considering his conciliation to republicans on issues which actually go against our ideals, is it too much to ask for those of us who are on his side to even be heard and considered?

So, once again, health care dollars will be divided between health care delivery and advertising, bureaucratic paper-pushing, and profit.  We lose.  

Any suggestions for a grass-roots message to the Obama Administration, or should we give up?

These Ads Are Hurting My Eyes!


Ok, Am I the only person who cringes every time I click on anywhere here at TPM, and either see hideous abdominal flab staring back at me, or contrasting yellow next to amazingly white (but both unappealing) teeth?

Yuk!  Yuk! Yuk! and Yuk!

I thought ads were supposed to make you desire something!  These make me want to close my eyes until the image goes away.  Show me a pleasant smile, or a reasonably flat ab and make me think you can provide it!  Don't show me the ugliest mutt at the dog show and then expect me to buy your elixer to make me "best in show," because I'll be too nauseated to try, and I won't believe it anyway.

Let's go back to feel-good, lying ads.  It's what we're used to!
