I know something else. Obama is in for two very painful years, with more and more americans either madder at him or demoralized.
I watch both Beck and Cavuto daily and Cavuto comes off as much more serious and reliable because he doesnt go the personal route. Cavuto even dismissed the ‘Death Panels’ comment because life or death decisions are made by insurance companies now. He also ripped McCain a few days before the election for trying to have the bailouts both ways. He daily brings on liberals, and makes them look foolish, like Megn Kelly does.
Personally, I want a valid argument, not emotional political points to try to work me up.

My problem in fully understanding this debate stems from the fact that we are not operating in a purely capitalistic manner regarding the insurance companies because of governmental interference in the marketplace.
Were insurance companies so disregarding clients wishes that it became necessary for the government to intervene, or did government intervene unnecessarily in lieu of a marketplace solution? Or did insurance lobbyists press for more regulations that increased revenue?
Who pushed for and set up the current rulebook that determines how the insurance companies operate? Are these life and death decisions being made because insurers are providing fairly for what the consumer is paying for minus the governmental economic marketplace distortions?
