The crisis of the US health care system and Obama's bill

The chronic crisis of a market-based health system and Obama’s bill; There is an alternative: Health care as a socially covered basic need; The health care of Americans’ future is in the hands of politicians who care less for democracy, lesser for the electorate and least for the environment and the health of the people. So for whom do they care? Well, of course their real constituents are the corporations through their lobbyists and various scoundrels. The political elite of representative “democracy” proves time and time again that it plans with their benefactors from the market economy, who see to it that their candidate gets elected and re-elected thereby concentrating more and more decision making power in fewer and fewer hands. This corporate control ensures legislation favors, in this case, health care insurance companies, drug manufacturers (you notice big Pharma was kept out of the debate) and disfavors the public. Congress has become a de facto board of corruptions, I mean, corporations. The interests of the public are ignored, however not without plenty of discussion, fanfare and bluster to create the impression that politicians are concerned for the public. The joke used to be that politicians weighed their mail from constituents, pro and con, then voted accordingly. Now they weigh how much money they receive from their corporate constituents before voting. Democrats and Republicans receive money from the same corporations to do the same bidding, so it is not so much an ideological battle as we are led to believe between Democrats and Republicans. The vote was on strictly partisan lines and would not have passed were it not for wavering democrats who were brought back into the fold. The whole game plan is a further concentration of economic and political decision taking power into fewer and fewer hands. The public, who pays the bills is the victim in crisis after crisis that the market economy consistently creates. The American public is purposely misinformed and kept in the dark, that is, they are never presented with reliable information to make informed decisions. If they were given the facts, then the decisions they would take would be different from their “representatives”. That is, the workings of representative “democracy” are not about people power, but augmenting corporate power. The public option is to discard the System of the market economy and representative “democracy” and replace it with inclusive democracy.
