As a physician, I and my colleagues desire "Health Insurance Reform." I am having a difficult time keeping my practice open due the high cost of rent, insurance and staff. My reimbursement from BC/BS has NOT changed in five years. The message from Massachusetts was to provide the citizens with a straight forward simple health care bill to bridge the gaps created by the health insurance companies. Let physicians privately contract with our patients. Provide for medical liability reform. Compose legislation that is bi-partisan in nature. that is what I think and that is what i hear!

I seem to have wasted my vote! You have proven, once again, that the corporate whores rule this country. Even if this healthcare bill is passed you have compromised away any chance for the American people to get any relief from the blood-sucking insurance companies. You have split your party to the extent that one or two senators can dictate to the populace what they think is best for our future, rather than the majority rule that is the promise of democracy. Like their corporate masters, our elected legislators have forgotten that our political system is built on the morality of the rights of the individual and not on the rights of the corporation. I guess, Mr. president that you have joined the ranks of those that think capitalism and democracy are one and the same. THERE IS NO MORALITY OR MERCY IN CAPITALISM! Our economic system only works when it is regulated by the government and I used to think that you were aware of this. You were elected by a majority of the populace to make the needed changes. It is time to stop with the butt kissing and get on with the business you were elected to do! <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13846','H. L.

Please continue to believe in the dream of a better future for all people, and see past all the politics. I know being in in your position the issues can sometimes seem overwhelming and all roll-up into one big problem. But please believe that there are people who believe in you, have placed their trust in you and dream of times past where America was truly the greatest nation on earth. I still believe it can reclaim some of its lost glory, I still believe the key is having someone who shares these same beliefs as its country's elected representative. I and many other like me am willing to sacrifice earnings and higher taxes for the hope of a national healthcare system that is based on the care for its citizens and not profit. Please know that this is key to your reelection the people will follow a man who is working for their well being. In the end there is no argument that defeat common sense, love and humanity.
