has this Obama quote in which he states regarding health care "If you're starting from scratch, he says, "then a single-payer system "a government-managed system like Canada's, which disconnects health insurance from employment " "would probably make sense. But we've got all these legacy systems in place, and managing the transition, as well as adjusting the culture to a different system, would be difficult to pull off. So we may need a system that's not so disruptive that people feel like suddenly what they've known for most of their lives is thrown by the wayside.
All of these opt-ins and opt-outs don't provide as much benefit to those who need assistance in our health care system as a single-payer system. Is Obama playing the hand he was dealt or is he appeasing the GOP too much? He could pass health care reform with the reconciliation process.
On international policies progressives have nothing to be pleased about with Obama. He is threatening an escalation in Afghanistan and Obama is not removing our troops from Iraq as rapidly as we'd like.
