  What Will Break the Single-Payer Media Blackout?

  Purple state like Kansas? Never heard that one.
  
  As far as the President, Change We Can Believe In, when it comes to health care, he'll compromise quickly with the health care corporate entities,  they'll have a photo op, announce national health care, create a bare bones approach that no one will be able to negotiate and that will be it!
  
  There will be no change, the corporations that control health care in this country will dictate to employers what they can offer to employee in their plans and rates. They will never give up. They are fooling the Administration that they'll lower their rates by billions, just wait a couple of years, they'll claim rates are not profitable to their bottom line, they'll back out of a verbal or written deal and there goes you national health plan.
  
  Anyone who has dealt with corporate third party providers can tell you that the process is a virtual death march. They know the law, they wrote them and they will wear you down in paper work for even the simplest procedure or medication until you and your Dr. just give up. 
  
  If Obama is serious about national health care, he'll need to include a viable public option, and then quickly put the private sector out of business or they'll sabotage the public plan

  Baucus Gives Us Public Plans – Three of 'Em!

  Interesting choices, Only problem with modified state employee health plans would be if you lived in a more progressive state, that allowed same sex marriage, civil unions or domestic partnerships and there national portability. What if a same sex couple was out of state, in a state with a state constitutional amendment specifically banning recongition of same sex arrangements from out of state or the prrovison of benefits within the state that imparted or resembled any benefits to same sex couples? You need the federal government to establish minimum rules of portability within the union.

  The Vatican Thinks Obama is Anti-Family

  It is a cult and should be treated as such. Even the majority of American roman Catholics do not follow the teachings or believe in the positions of the church, why should anyone else.
