Governments invented red tape and you want them to cut them? Where else have they done that? Just ask car dealers the paperwork they have to put up with just to sell a lousy car that took me all of one hour last week to buy. There is red tape reduction in front of you.
So keeping thing status quo is your solution? That mentality does nothing to resolve the issue; hurling scare tactics to those who are most vulnerable to keep things going is absolutely unethical. The health care industries are not your friend as your care are what is keeping them from making their money, yet you are hell-bent on keeping things from changing from their business model.
Americans in poll after poll after poll indicate that people want the system to change and the best you can do is call folks lazy, lemmings, slackers, etc., yet the only ones that benefit from this system now are the for-profit health care companies, not you or me.
Put down the party hat for a second and follow the money; the ones that are yelling the loudest are the companies that will have to change their ways. This is not about left or right but common decency and having a healthy population. Obama does not have all of the answers (no one does) but he is 100% right that the system is broken and it will be changed. Too many American lives are ruined due to spiraling health care costs and this trend has to stop.
