The President? If speaking of healthcare reform, you might rather speak of your elected officials in Congress and the Senate.

Specifically the GOP which contributed less than nothing but obstruction to this whole process, the Democratic Senator from Nebraska who stalled the Senate bill all by himself to obtain pork for his state (he's a whore, and now we know how much he costs); and the Senator from Connecticut who works for the major insurance companies who have their head offices in his state - the state designed to be most user-friendly to insurance companies regarding lack of regulation.

Opportunistic Parasites:

1)Nebraska Hair Helmut

2)Lieberman(I Shill for Israel.) This individual acted the worst, because his actions had nothing to do with the feelings of the people in his state. The other two do at least come from states that are consistently a-s-s backwards.

3)Don't forget that crook from Louisiana. Miss Mary always gots a whole lotta cash in her drawas.

Some Democrats are, but a lot aren't. No Republicans give a sht about the "little guy." They are just fine with healthcare staying f'd up, and families having to go bankrupt trying to pay doctors 300-400k a year etc. They are just not gunna vote for something that keeps insurance companies from riping people off. You can see no Republican Senators are voting for it, and it's not like any of them say they are real close to voting for it. They don't care about insurance companies turning down patients with previous conditions etc. They don't give a sht about that. They don't care about catastrophic conditions, and limits etc. 55 decent Dems(and 5 filthy whores) have to do it all.

I think it's funny you think there's a connection

So please, explain how MA's being in arrears of it's states' matching Medicare payments to it's own facilities has anything at all to do with the federal government?

Or how the MA program, which differs completely from the federal healthcare reform act, is pertinent to the discussion?

The MA program has been used by the WH as an example of mandated insurance. (That would be considered a connection)

Massachusetts' example

White House budget director Peter Orszag says penalty size isn't the only factor in determining whether people buy coverage. He predicts the mandate will help create societal expectations that everyone gets health insurance, just as most people feel obligated to buckle their seat belts.

He points to Massachusetts, which in 2007 became the first state to require that most residents have insurance. Since then, the percentage of uninsured has declined to 4% from about 7%.

The Massachusetts penalty for failing to buy insurance this year is $1,068 — about half the cost of the lowest annual premium. About 96% of tax filers in the state in 2008 reported they had coverage; only 1% paid a penalty
