100. Make no mistake, the health care debate is wealthy vs. common interests.

The wealthy made clear to the legislators what it will and won't consider. So, the negotiations started with the "public option" which is scheduled to die so that the "real" reform will be rolled out. That reform, of course, is tailored as a means to grab more wealth from the rest of us.

To the wealthy who have interests in the health care industry, it's not a reform movement, it's a business opportunity.

I've said in other posts, the only way to get real reform here is to let the health care industry know that we will take them apart brick-by-brick and investigate its executives unless we get it. Then we might get a compromise that's worth anything. They have to be faced with the idea of losing everything.

People need to get angrier about this.
