Reply #31: Grumbling about corporatist is why Democrats are pushing health care [View All]

No, none of the front runners are supporting single payer health care, they are mostly pushing business as usual pro corporate policies - doctors are being reduced to employees of insurance firms, and our bosses still have firm control of our health care, if any. Democrats will be better than Republicans, but not that different.

I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the Green party. I'll vote Democratic, but if you want my vote you have to put up with my grumbling about corporatists, and who knows, if the Democrats add insult (Lieberman/Feinstein) to injury (Gore/Lieberman) perhaps I will throw away my vote.

If you ask my friends about "socialized health care" you'll get the same response as you would if you asked about "privatized health care" - most people stopped listening because you can hardly get past the spin without spending a lot of time educated yourself. The reason is because the Democratic party has utterly failed to educate Americans about their economic interests and instead rely on TV commercials about social issues and biolerplate rhetoric.
