The US Senate is finally conducting hearings and meetings about how to bring together a so-called 'universal' health delivery system.
BUT, on its very first day Washington (as usual) excluded all single-payer voices from the debate. They were removed by police under direction of the Democratic committee chairperson, Max Baucus, and all the other committee members supported the move.

If all they are going to include are corporate insurance voices, corporate america, and other politicians, my disdain for the Obama administration and the new, stronger Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress are not without reason: It doesn't matter whether Republicans or Democrats are in charge, Washington is bought and sold to the highest corporate bidder and all over voices are consistently shut out.
Watch it for yourselves. Obama may be helping the US's image abroad, but the Democratic party is up to the same old tricks on domestic policy that have plagued America for decades.
The US really hasn't changed... These meetings are the first serious meetings on health care since Bill Clinton's efforts in 1993 and the first since Richard Nixon's creation of the HMO-PPO-POS-network insurance systems in the early 1970's that have plagued America ever since.
