Obama and Hillary - Corporate Candidates Who Do NOT Offer Single-payer Universal Healthcare

The drug lobby and the open borders advocates must LOVE Hillary and Obama, since BOTH candidates support open borders and the drug lobby. But wait a minute: didn't Hillary and Obama say they were for securing our borders and universal healthcare?

Yes, that's what BOTH candidates claim, but do not offer - much less deliver.

The drug lobby is PROUD of Hillary and Obama for conning the American people into believing that "universal healthcare" means continung to make payments to insurance companies, HMOs and the pharms. Hillary acts as if achieving universal healthcare is some Harry Potter type mystery only to be solved by electing Hillary Clinton to the White House. Nothing could be further from the truth. The blueprint for practicing universal healthcare has been in place for decades now - operating in every industrialized nation on the planet, except for the U.S.

The formula is relatively simple; single-payer universal healthcare REQUIRES a "NON-PROFIT" healthcare system where those fat profit margins and greedy "FOR-PROFIT" corporations aren't allowed to feast upon the host budget - there are no fatcat "FOR-PROFIT" insurance and HMO executives sucking down over half the nation's healthcare budget in the 161 nations practicing true universal healthcare. There are no "affordable payments" made by the citizens of these countries practicing universal healthcare. The reason Hillary and Obama are still selling America insurance payments is because to implement true universal healthcare here would require Hillary or Obama TO CONVERT our current "FOR-PROFIT" healthcare system to a "NON-PROFIT" healthcare system.

These two corporate-friendly candidates are NOT going to even recommend such, much less implement such a non-profit system. During last night's debate, Hillary and Obama told it on themselves and their healthcare policies: Hillary correctly pointed out that Obama supports penalizing parents who fail to purchase healthcare insurance, while Obama correctly pointed out that Hillary will garnish any American's wages to the tune of $250.00 for failing to purchase healthcare insurance. Universal healthcare this is NOT! This is corporate welfare at its worst.

Mark my words, in four years, no matter who becomes President, America will STILL HAVE millions of Americans who DO NOT enjoy fully-paid healthcare, DESPITE THE FACT our nation's $2.3 trillion healthcare budget is PLENTY, PLENTY enough money to cove the healthcare costs all American families would ever incur - problem is, the majority of our nation's $2.3 trillion Medicare/Medicaid budget goes directly to the coffers of the "FOR-PROFIT" corporations, their executives, their Board of Directors and their stockholders.

Those Board of Directors will defend their raping and pillaging of our nation's healthcare budget by telling you they have a duty by law to MAXIMIZE their profits for their corporations and their stockholders; and they are correct. Keeping such facts in mind, maybe now you can understand why it is essential America CONVERT its current "FOR-PROFIT" healthcare system to a "NON-PROFIT" healthcare system, in order to provide actual universal healthcare coverage for each and every American - WITHOUT raising taxes or creating a new revenue stream for these "FOR-PROFIT" corporations.

KEEPING SUCH FACTS IN MIND, maybe now you can understand how and why Hillary or Obama will NEVER, EVER implement true single-payer universal healthcare coverage for all Americans. Their allegiance is to the drug lobbyists who write our nation's healthcare bills. Hillary and Obama act and speak as if they are going to outlaw lobbyists and force Congress to start writing their own healthcare bills in the interest of We The People. Nonsense.

Americans are being hoodwinked by Hillary and Obama into believing they offer universal healthcare - they do NOT offer universal healthcare.

Ralph Nader

This is a major reason why Ralph Nader is getting in the 08 race. There are other reasons like Iraq and so forth that Ralph Nader is aware that the electorate(that's us) aren't getting real options or alternatives with either parties major left standing candidates.

Joel S. Hirschhorn is the author of Delusional Democracy - Fixing the Republic Without Overthrowing the Government (www.delusionaldemocracy.com). His current political writings have been greatly influenced by working as a senior staffer for the U.S. Congress and for the National Governors Association. He advocates a Second American Revolution, beginning with an Article V Convention to propose constitutional amendments. He is Chair of the Independent Party of Maryland.

So how do we explain Obama supporters?

On this issue alone, Americans should be rejecting the crap from Obama because it illustrates that he is no genuine change agent.

Corporate candidates

Isn't it corporate and corporate owned media that is deciding who will be on the ballot? Isn't it private Corp. counting and not counting votes whether with their rigged machines or unacceptable ballots? Isn't it the corporate machine deciding who is eligible to vote... So why is anyone surprised? None of the elected have done anything in the last 8 years to change that. I won't vote for anyone they have chosen.

Kucinich was the direct opposite of what corporate wanted. His healthcare was single payer not for profit and an immediate end to the occupation in Iraq among other non corporate policies. So they kept him nearly mute and rarely seen. Now they are doing one of their money and smear routines trying to keep him from being re-elected in his state.

Corporate is the Worlds al Queda.

Still alive and well in the United States unfortunately.

I'm a 59 year old male who's decendency could best be described as "Heinz 57" with a heavy dose of German, Russian (mongolian?), French, and Cherokee (grandmother). I've spent the better part of my life stuggling to avoid the "hamster wheel of normalcy" and revel in showing people the funnier side of life while I share the secrets of their true potential.

If Only

If only the rest of this "sleepwalking" nation could wake up just long enough to "pull their heads outta their collective asses" we might actually force the current band of criminal bureaucratic MFers to "shape up or ship out"......unfortunately, from a realistic standpoint, WE'RE SCREWED.

I am a retired opera singer. I was a leading soprano with the New York City Opera for ten years. I am a strong supporter of Dennis Kucinich and worked for his campaign in 2004. I believe that he is the ONLY honest man in congress. He has been working against this insane war since before it began. I am 72 years old and I have been so frustrated with the media, the Congress and the American people that they don't tell the truth.

Only Dennis talked about this!

Has anybody noticed that it was only Dennis Kucinich who talked about a true, not for profit health care plan that would have covered every person in the country?

The MSM and corporate America was quick to ban him from the debates and shut down that idea. And the moderators were complicit in that crime. Yes, it was a crime perpetrated upon the American people, who were too lazy to notice. By the time the crime is a fact, it will be too late for most of us. We will be robbed and lied to and nothing will change no matter who is elected.

Congratulations, America, for closing your eyes and minds to the truth.
