Honestly, how many people in the US are qualified to and know how to write a health care bill that significantly reforms (and improves) the health care? 10? 20? 50?
Whatever the number, I bet it is pretty small. What are the chances ONE of these people can and will keep their distance from the health care lobbyists and write the bill without someone else leading his hand? Pretty damn near zero I am afraid.
Believing that Obama can somehow cut the ties with health care industry is unbelieveably naive. He caved in when the tire industry came knocking for gods sake, and the tire lobby is nonexistent compared to health care interest groups.
Health care industry and the US government on all levels go hand in hand. And to think that Obama will be willing and able to destroy this cozy relationship where everybody wins except for the patients and taxpayers, is, well... did I already say naive?
