Apparently, President Obama and his aides, didn't devote much time to his pick to run US health care programmes and reform.

US healthcare is one of the most un-balanced in the world, with a large portion of the popularion getting good health care, while between 40 and 50 million, get little or no health care at all, due to either lack of insurance, or being under-insured and facing astronomical health care costs....sometimes running $100,000 or more, that the under-insured and uninsured Americans, are required to pay, out of their OWN pocket.

And if they don't have these funds? Many hospitals are allowed to garnish wages, reposses the debtor's home, and/or sue the cancer patient, person with brain injury, MS, kidney failure, Aids, burn victim, accident victim, etc.,

In America, every day of the year, all year long, thousands die for no other reason than they cannot afford to have decent health care. Millions suffer needlessly, pain and sickness, because they cannot pay for a doctor or hospitals, because they may have some state and/or federal insurance (Medicare/Medicaid)...but NO doctor's, dentists, etc. in the area where they live, accept federal or state benefit cards for insurance. (This is where the hypocracy comes in, in the old Hypocratic Oath.)

Obama claims to be aware of this terrible and very real injustice...even if the other half of the extremely selfish, ignorant and hypocritical American population that is not suffering, and is not tens or hundreds of thousands in medical debt, don't. (And you know who you are, fellow yanks.)

Yet, President Obama has chosen as his point man, to sort out this mess and injustice, Senator Tom Daschle---whom, it has just been revealed, has accepted some $200,000 in PAY from the very health organizations he's been appointed to REFORM.

Yeah, good going there, Obama. I'm sure Sen. Daschle will be very hard on these insurance companies, pharmacuedical companies and medical conglomerates. And the fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high, and tea don't grow in China.

"It was only a little itty-bitty oversight on my part, not to tell the president--(ahem)...and the Internal Revenue Service--that I made $200,000 from the health care industry. Gee whiz, give a guy a break."
