The Blair House medical summit participants appeared overfed and sedated. They seemed locked in fear of discovery of the bribes they had taken and of the deals they had made behind closed doors. For five decades both parties had found haven in the health insurance monopolies. This time around the robber barons had become over-zealous in their greed and the fraud was openly displayed for everyone with a third grade math level to understand. Last year 2.7 Americans lost their health insurance. Nearly 45,000 died from a lack of health care. Adding the millions who lost jobs and homes, they increase the multitudes living in the woods with Food Stamps. Tim Geithner was right when he noted the people must suffer more before they get actively angry.
In 1834 populist Andrew Jackson's followers climbed on top of the WH furniture with their muddy boots. We were a Republic, then.
