Sanjay Gupta's and Obama's Message, "Health Care is Unfair" By Steve Conn
As our first JFK told us- "Life is unfair." Barak Obama is not only our newer JFK, but is also a believer in delivering bad news. Along with his penchant for operating in the midst of an ever-enlarging forest of American flags, the President-elect is now signaling that the victims of America's deficit spending on wars without end and corporate bailouts will be- Ta-dah!- shlubs like me, present and future pensioners, Medicare and Social Security recipients. We get no bailouts. We get bailed OUT.
Universal single payer health care is "D.O.A.," just like the luckless out-of-towner in the great Film Noir movie. No need for Harry and Louise this time around to kill universal health care. Obama and friends in the private insurance industry on his team are smarter than that. Michael Moore, meet (again!) the guy who challenged "Sicko"'s facts on CNN and Larry King, Sanjay Gupta. Obama's telegenic Surgeon General will play both Harry and Louise. Bad health will be redefined, like the mortgage crisis, as the victim's fault. Only stupid people get sick.
