That’s how we get to the 77% of all of US want a Public Option – half of the Goopers are actually with the rest of US – but the Healthcare Industry doesn’t want US to know that.

The tactic being employed here is that of a Minority Player (the Healthcare Industry) dividing and conquering the Majority Player (300 Million of US) – and Keeping US conquered – by ‘playing’ US off against each other, and SCREAMING really loudly when we mix, so that We, the two parties divided, can’t talk to each other. They don’t want to risk US learning that our seemingly separate goals have much more in common than the Insurance Companies want US to realize.

So, imho, if the venue for discussion of the entire Healthcare Reform process is moved to a rational, fact-based, civil investigation of Our options – free from the intentional disrupters and the bought-off politicians – then a concensus solution that the vast majority of US could agree on would become, imvho, clearly obvious.

But, that’s jm2c!

“In play” like a little catnip-stuffed mouse on a string.

We’re the kittens.

As for your GOP friends wanting to protect people with pre-existing conditions from the Health Insurance industry predators, I’ll just say that you know some relatively classy republicans. And I have yet to meet any.

- Despite their rhetoric, they don’t really care about Afghanistan. They think we are in the same exact position as the Soviets in the ’80s. The most common phrase I heard was ‘exit strategy.’

- They’ve bought-in to the “don’t look back” at the ‘Policies of a previous Administration’ line – Don’t Criminalize Policy differences – based Almost Entirely on their belief that Bush’s Programs were determined to be Legal by the OLC – so, any questions regarding implementation are questions of style, not substance.

- On Healthcare – What they ‘know’ is that they don’t want any Government ‘give-aways’ to the ‘un-deserving.’ But, they do want coverage for pre-existing conditions (every single Gooper I talked to wants this.) When they hear the story of how the insurance companies went from being pennies-on-the-dollar forms processors, to profit-through-claims-denial legislation-writing lobbyists – some sources say that up to 21% of claims are denied – then they can ’see’ that both the left – and the right – are actually victims of the ‘healthcare’ industry – how Ironic: the Healthcare Industry makes Profit by Denying – no matter whether it’s Stopping the Public Option or Pre-Existing Conditions – the sick amongst us!

A big part of the problems we’re having, imvho, is due to Noise. Noise introduced by the ‘interested parties’ of the Healthcare Industry, intended to ‘drown out’ any possible cross-pollination of positions through dialogue.

The Healthcare Industry doesn’t want US talking to each other, so they and their purchased/fearful minions, including corporate media, are disrupting town halls, and other civil forums for info exchange, with food-fights intended to pit – from the Healthcare Industry’s point of view – the loser left against the loser right.

If Obama’s speech leads US out of the Healthcare Industry’s “Duping” Play on US and, instead, into Clear, Honest, Open discussion, then he will have broken through, imvho, the most critical obstruction to a win-win solution – whatever that may turn out to be – for both the left and the right.

We need to talk to each other more…without Special Interests stepping between US.

“We the people” have not been influencing national choices for a long time.

But the more of us who see it, the better.

I’m not looking for another cause, but this was very interesting in terms of
why we need a public auction and why Walmart needs to pay big time to cover their employer’s share of just health care option. Bet all their employees would vote for a public option.

Blessings,

…The Bush connections not only are the epitome of what you decry in your columns, but they build on the “juice” of interconnections that the media and the public never inquire about, and thus are not exposed to…..
