Is this our party's "Let them eat cake" moment?

[Faryn Balyncd]

How did our senior elected Democratic leaders sink to, not only excluding, but LAUGHING while their thugs eject (& arrest) those who represent the views of 62% of the American people?

Have we learned nothing from the demise of the corporate ass-kissing GOP?

3. In a way, it seems to rank right up there with the secret Cheney Energy Task force in disdain for...

...our values.

5. The people they were laughing at were doctors who showed up

to say they were ready to take their seat at the big table. These were not your rag-tag reactionary Left.

Doctors Challenge Exclusion of Single-Payer from Health Care Debate

May 5, 2009 Washington DC –- Doctors and other advocates of a national single-payer system–also known as Improved Medicare for All–directly confronted Senators at the Senate Finance Committee roundtable on health reform today.

The single payer advocates wanted to know why single-payer experts were being excluded from the roundtable of fifteen witnesses.

The doctors said that a publicly funded, privately delivered single-payer system is the only solution to the crisis plaguing our nation’s non-system of health care. It covers everyone, and contains costs.

“Why isn’t single-payer at the table today?” they asked.

Despite polling that shows a clear majority of public and physician support for a single-payer system, Senator Baucus, Chair of the Senate Finance Committee has stated on multiple occasions that single-payer is “off the table” of health reform.

Today’s round table, the second of three, consists of 15 witnesses with no single-payer advocates.

2. It sure looks and feels that way to me.

What a shameful moment in the history of the U.S. Senate.

Is that Rockefeller off to Baucas's left? I did not realize he was on that committee as well.

7. time to eliminate BRIBES FROM THE ELECTION PROCESS.. NOW

all elected Representatives should be paid minimum wage, live in public housing projects, be required to use public transportation and their families have to use the medical access for poverty level UNINSURED, and their children have to go to public schools.
