The difference is that rich Democrats want to help less fortunate people.Isn't the GOP the party of the rich?
and the Democrats are not?......here is where you are brainwashed Bobo.....i can at least see that BOTH parties can give a rats ass about the rest of us....oh they will throw us a bone once in a while,maybe sometimes it will even have a little meat on it....but they both can give a rats ass about you and me....and right now the Democrats are going to do as little as possible,but yet make it look like they are doing every thing they can to "help us out".....here comes a bone with a little meat.....and the Dems. and Repub. leaders walk back into their chambers laughing and patting themselves on their backs knowing,that guys like Bobo just ate it up....
Right now, bureaucrats in the private health industry are making medical decisions for you. It's their job to make a profit, thus denying care.They didn't even want to give single payer a seat at the table. Today they get a seat at the table.
A Seat at the Table for Single-Payer
Now single payer is going to get an opportunity to squash all the right wing garbage can talking points on why it won't work.
Government making people's healthcare decisions doesn't work.

Of course they don't, since while the government is in charge of what companies are allowed to sell what, all they have to do is bribe them to keep out competition.
Wrong. It's the government going into business expressly to compete against them, and put them out of business. That's not the way it works in America.
Get out of my country.
No offense to the other side in this debate, but I personally have never seen the "profit" motive as being a bad thing. In fact up until recently making a "profit" was a mark of success in business. I have to disagree here, to all those that believe that the "profit" motive is somehow an evil thing and therefor makes these insurance companies evil. Any company that enters into business has a goal to turn a profit for it's owner or shareholders and as a result the employee's benefit by more jobs, and more benefits. These evil people your talking about are everyday working Americans like you and I , they are bound by what the policies that the insured individuals sign. It's rather like going into a store and expecting the employee at the checkout stand to give you a 40% discount because you make less than the person in front of you. We are bound by the contracts on insurance we sign. So if the contract is the issue change the contract structure. While I understand that when a person suffers we all wish them the best and wish to take that suffering away, but we can do that by giving those among us that need medical insurance choices that are affordable and available by promoting a competetive environment and regulating where needed and allowing Americans to make their own health decisions. I put this in another post, and this point I am in agreement with President Obama on believe it or not, healthcare co-ops I have come to believe are a good method of reaching this goal. Where it allows small businesses, farmers, and individuals to form co-ops to buy health insurance at low cost. I honestly believe that this will have he effect of bringing in competetion in areas of the country that are underserved at the moment and bring down the costs of rural healthcare especially as long as its left in private hands. However, I don't think Nancy Pelosi is a big fan and has said as much.
