It seems my ol' assertion is not in danger of being retired anytime soon. As I often scoffed before, the Dems are as bad as Repubs.
"Democrats -- like the Republicans -- are a party of big business and cannot be anything different."

Hey Straggler,

One question - What did other industries want?
Err Straggler, I think you may still be missing my main point: the public's interest/needs came last, AFTER all/some/ANY big business. It does not matter what other industries or politicians want. It does not matter which industries or politicians profit or lose. It only matters that the public's interests/needs are not being served. Thus, the proper question is "What did the people want?" 70% wanted universal heath care.
Not gonna happen.

Have a read to see how many ways the American public will get screwed:
