Dear Obama...

you're an idiot!

Obama is not qualified to run a restaurant, more or less a country. You can disagree with me if you want, but you will see soon enough. It may take a few years, but if you think that US healthcare is bad now...you haven't seen anything yet.

Think it's a good idea that health insurance companies can't turn people down for health insurance anymore? Well, they may not turn them down, but they will make it so that it's unaffordable. Think it's good that the insurance companies are going to be taxed out the ass on "premium" health care plans (read: the better insurance plans)....not so fast. The insurance companies aren't going to just eat those costs...they're going to pass them on to the people who buy insurance. Think that lowering medicare funding is going to help people with medicare and medicaid find a doctor who will accept their insurance? I cannot emphasize enough what a victory the republicans scored (thanks to an independent) in keeping out the public option, but damage is going to be done, and a lot of it. Oh...and so much for reproductive rights, or a women's right to choose.

Change is probably coming, but you'll soon enough find out that it's not the change you were hoping for. You don't need to believe me now, and you can comment what you want, because you'll see soon enough. Fortunately, there is work left to be done. The senate bill has not yet passed, and if it does, it needs to be combined with the House bill. I can only hope that they either can't figure out how to do that, or that the republicans can stall it long enough to get themselves more votes in 2010. And make no mistake...they will have more votes in 2010, after the disaster that Obama and the democrats have created.
