Comments on: The Health Care Solution To NY’s Budget Deficit http://sbpress.com/2009/10/the-health-care-solution-to-nys-budget-deficit/ The Alternative News and Features Paper of Stony Brook University Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:11:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nick Eaton, Blogging from Mexico http://sbpress.com/2009/10/the-health-care-solution-to-nys-budget-deficit/#comment-1740 Nick Eaton, Blogging from Mexico Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:41:32 +0000 http://thinksb.com/?p=808#comment-1740 Truth. I'm hoping that a new wave of sneaky exploitation by private insurers might motivate the masses to put more fire to them. I was very disappointed by the compromising nature of health care reform advocates who sat idly by while Obama shunned single payer advocates and met privately with drug and insurance lobbyists in his office which, supposedly, was supposed to be lobby-free. It's just unfortunate that we'll have to wait through another slew of health care deform before we maybe, possibly learn that there are some (many) places where capital should not be allowed to stick its grubby fingers.

There is, however a silver lining behind this very dark cloud. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Don't be embarrassed if you've never heard of it, there really isn't a hell of a lot to remember about it; a mere pittance, really - a scrap of leftovers tossed out to "American Negros" (in the parlance of the age) in order to appease them. But it made the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the one we remember - all-the-more easier seven years later. We'll live to fight another day. http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom Degan Goshen, NY I don’t know what kind of health care reform will come out of this session, but I strongly suspect it won’t be much.
