Obama is sure right about the "The time is for games is passed" because he has already played them on the voters at the beginning of August, 2009 and what you are seeing is just smoke and mirrors now. All the Senators and Congressmen on both sides know its a sham too. Why don't you?
It is absolutely amazing how the American Public has been totally misled by Obama into these national debates to believe that he is fighting off the big, bad, insurance companies and their greed. He is actually doing the side show routine to distract you while the stage is set for the final act. In fact, you have absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of this final act. Hey fool, you are there to only clap and applaud at the end that it was a job well done.
Instead, while you read the following article, it shows how big government has already cuts its deals far in advance of when the "final" decisions are to be made in the senate. Why hasn't Obama mentioned these deals in his town hall meetings?
This article was published back on August 6, 2009. And you ask, why bother having any town hall debates? It's because of the Shouting!......because that's all there's left to do. Wait a little later on and everyone can howl at the moon! Do you feel a little more foolish and used yet?
Obama and The Health Insurers have already won!
Read on how UnitedHealth and rival carriers, maneuvering behind the scenes in Washington, shaped health-care reform for their own benefit.
As the health reform fight shifts this month from a vacationing Washington to congressional districts and local airwaves around the country, much more of the battle than most people realize is already over. The likely victors are insurance giants such as UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Aetna (AET), and WellPoint (WLP). The carriers have succeeded in redefining the terms of the reform debate to such a degree that no matter what specifics emerge in the voluminous bill Congress may send to President Obama this fall, the insurance industry will emerge more profitable. Health reform could come with a $1 trillion price tag over the next decade, and it may complicate matters for some large employers. But insurance CEOs ought to be smiling.
Executives from UnitedHealth certainly showed no signs of worry on the mid-July day that Senate Democrats proposed to help pay for reform with a new tax on the insurance industry.
Instead, UnitedHealth parked a shiny 18-wheeler outfitted with high-tech medical gear near the Capitol and invited members of Congress aboard. Inside the mobile diagnostic center, which enables doctors to examine distant patients via satellite television, Representative Jim Matheson didn't disguise his wonderment. "Fascinating, fascinating," said the Democrat from Utah. "Amazing."
UnitedHealth wowed the pols with its high-tech mobile diagnostic center.

"Health reform could come with a $1 trillion price tag over the next decade..." Hey the Prez said it wouldn't cost us anything! Free? Even a wild-eyed liberal, like me-self, finds that a bit hard to believe!
It does my heart good to see that every tax paying voter on any side and in the middle sees what big government is doing. If they cannot run Medicare for the elderly without waste and corruption, then how are they going to run Medicare for the young with no extra cost too?
