Obama Health Insurance Insight, Pt.2 – Where are we going next?

Previous…

Here is where Obama focuses his health insurance/care resolve. He laments how candidates keep promising, year in and year out for one election after the other to, cut costs and solve health insurance/care problems. Then, as soon as they get to Washington, there is no change. Lobbyists “come to the rescue”, large donations come in from the large enterprises, like drug and insurance companies and then block the changes. Then, come next election, the numbers of those without health insurance keep rising and those who are already struggling with large medical bills are in even worse shape.

Mr. Obama advises all those listening that they already know what has to be done to fix the health insurance/care turmoil. Things must really change. He goes on to add that he has already spent the early years of his career, both in Illinois and as a United States senator, fighting to institute ethics reform to limit the clout of the powerful special interest groups. He then touts his strong resolve to break this hold by disallowing federal lobbyists and PACs from using their sway by not accepting their contributions. He states that, from this time on, he is imposing the same standards on the DNC. They won’t accept any more sway-money from either the lobbyists in Washington nor from the “special interest PACs.” They don’t fund Obama’s campaign and he won’t allow them to fund the Democratic Party either. When he becomes our next US President, he promises to not allow these groups to “drown out the voices of the American people,” and to implement a working health insurance/care reform.
