Obama Camp Misuses Guaranteed Health Care Language
“Everybody In, Nobody Out”, means everyone must be guaranteed Health Care.
Reports from the ground are the Obama camp is now using the phrase "Everybody In, Nobody Out" to describe Obama's insurance plan. Our phrase is being redefined. Redefined to mean the illegitimate insurance industry gets to keep “a seat at the table” and a siphon in our health care budget.
The Health Insurance industry is not a legitimate business.
Legitimate businesses succeed by providing the best and most product. Health Insurance makes profit by providing the least product. Therefore, the Health Insurance industry is not a legitimate business. Therefore, the Health Insurance industry does not deserve a “seat at the table”.
Health Care must be managed by Doctors, Nurses and Patients. Health Insurance provides no service or goods. Health Insurance simply takes money out of the system. Money that should go to care and instead diverted to the pockets of investors.
Activists for real guaranteed health care have chanted this phrase in support of the Single Payer plan, H.R. 676. Therefore, we need to get to the Obama folks and let them know there is a difference between Health Care and Health Insurance. Don't let them take our language.

Obama Favors Incremental Healthcare Reform
I heard Obama say that if he were building a health care system from scratch, he would favor Single Payer. But he said, since we already have a system (sic)we have to move incrementally. This thinking seems to mirror the "party line" from most Democratic party leaders. Unfortunately, his incremental reforms seem to benefit health insurance companies first and patients secondarily.
