&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look at Medicaid. Thanks to its woeful reimbursement rates and administrative hassles, 40% of all physicians refuse to see Medicaid patients. If you can’t see a doctor, you don’t have health care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. President;   We no longer give a damn about “health care insurance”.  You continue to talk about insurance.  We don’t give a damn if you reform insurance.  People with insurance appear happy to be fleeced.  Please, allow them to be fleeced all they want.&lt;br /&gt;
  We, the people,  want a public health care law. Perhaps a constitutional amendment that is every American’s right to have complete health care?  One that allows every one of us free health care that is paid for by taxes.   Please stop confusing the issue with insurance.   These are two separate issues and they do not mix because they are mutually exclusive.   Health care is supposed to be for the person.  It involves them and their care providers only.   You continue to talk insurance as though there is care involved.   That is the closest thing to nonsense you have ever said and it reminds us all of your predecessor.&lt;br /&gt;
   Please,  public mandated government sponsored health care for every damn one of us.  There is no compromise. We have seen enough death and foreclosure, bankruptcy and organ shopping.  If there is anything you don’t understand about this matter,  there are literally millions of us that can explain it in gory detail.  Perhaps your sheltered existence is what keeps you and those around you from this basic understanding of what is happening to the people of our country.   It is a crime.  End it, Please.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I disagree with Indie that O is deliberately being deceitful with the country.  For that to work, he has to be a practiced liar which he is not, so I’m of the opinion that lying is a strategy he’s not trying to use.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regard to foreign policy it’s a different story. He is stating lies about Afghanistan, but he may not be cognizant of the lies because he’s simply regurgitating the CIA policy briefs.  That is even more troubling than deliberate lies, because it means that the CIA is in control of foreign policy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Return? We have yet to wake up from the so-called ‘Bush’ nightmare. Our federal government is losing the confidence of the American people at a staggering rate. Obama continues Bush war policies and his out of control spending leads us further down a path fiscal irresponsibility and a consolidation of government/corporate power &amp; control. To me, there is no difference between our two political parties, except on the most polarizing social issues.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
