Democrats meet with Obama to work out final health bill. Republicans not invited.
Democrats produce their own side-by-side of the House/Senate bills. Find no conflicts with Obama campaign promises.
C-SPAN challenges Congress to televise talks. Reminds Obama of this campaign promise:
“That’s what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are,” Obama said at a debate against Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 2008.

If Obama wants to prevent complications associated with diabeties, obesity, and other ailments, wouldn’t it make sense to issue specified food vouchers/ Dietic foods/Care boxes to VA clinics,Food pantries and other institutions that address the needs of Low income Americans? Why are that Government Commodities ( often delivered to Non Profit Organizations) extremely high in Sodium and Carbs?
Want to lower the cost of healthcare AND create Millions of new permanent jobs?
1. Increase SNAP food credit for low income diabetics and those on doctor approved restricted diets
2. Offer tax breaks for healthclub memberships
3. Expand Meals on wheels to rural areas and offer sliding scale rates not only for seniors but for the disabled and/or the morbidly obese.
The food industry, transportation industry and healthclubs would see increased sales,unemployment would drop nationwide- and healthcare costs would decrease significantly.
But the almighty “Gods” we elected think they know what’s best for the rest of us pee-ons: Trying to reason with those in complete control is like screaming at a brick wall.

The question is: What are they trying to hide?
