Universal Health Care:  Four "options" Available To You

Whe it comes to separating the 'wheat from the chaff' I am sure that you have reached the following conclusions that I have, and if not, I will be unpleasantly surprised.  To wit, the following:

1.  Status Quo:  This is the existing schematic for Corporate America's medical insurance policy.  Currently, the 40 Republicans in the Senate are unwavering in their support for this existing paradigm and will NOT support anything else.

2.  "Public Option":  This  is the "reform" schematic that a few 'centrist' Democrats are seeking in their misguided quest for a non-existing bipartisanship in the Senate.  Again, the 40 Republican Senators have voiced their opposition to any 'public option' under the political cover for "bipartisanship" and which is being made available by these Democrats.  Thus, instituting 'reform' will destroy competition.

3.  "single-payer":  This 'option' has been taken off the political table for obvious reasons, but in the House, a leading Democrat, John Conyers of Michigan, and the large swath of members residing in the Progressive Caucus, are undeterred while moving forward to round-up the requisite number of votes, and now have legislation available that the full House will be required to consider and decide, and which puts the Democratic Sentors in a tough spot relative to their constituency and voters, or for siding with Corporate America.  Despite the traditional opposition expected by the Republican members, the House's Blue Dogs, will have to decide, either their fealty to all the Democratic Members in the House or instead, to Corporate America and with the implicit campaign contributions that can be expected or may have already arrived.

4.  "expanding the VA's medical and hospital schematic":  Here at the CVO and a few dogmatic Democrats and who continue to see "value" in Equality and Egalitarianism, hold strongly to our perspective and advocacy.  However, no one, either in the Senate or the House, will advocate for our position.  Thus, the Moral Mountain is too high too climb for the members of Congress.

And thusly, we are left with the notional that we are NOT victims of their disinterest or their abject neglect, but we are fortified in our belief that white America achieved its Era of Insanity and which has lasted now for over seven years or since 9-11.  And we compare this "7 years" of time to a similar manner in which it will take white America to realize that achieving Equality and Egalitarianism via Universal Health Care, can only be done by expanding the VA's medical and hospital systemic and where the sole purpose of this overall effort  of our's is premised on "medical care delivered."

At the end of the political day, and after counting your voice at the ballot box in 2010, you will be the decision-maker, provided your Elected Representative(s) is not participating in the notional that is our current and existing reality for "The best money in America can buy our Congress."  In short, should you determine that your "needs" and "wants" must be contrasted with your self-interest, then, do do.  If so, the large industries of insurance, big pharma and the medical doctors, will be incapable of convincing you to reject your unassailable self-interest.
