USA Meets Waterloo

The health care debacle has given us a foretaste of government after the SCOTUS corporate funding decision. The general public is completely out of the political process. The goal should have been to reduce costs from 17% of GDP to the level of about 9% enjoyed by Europeans. At any time the Democrats through reconciliation could have enacted parts of the reform. They didn't, because they are in the corporate trophy bag as much as the Republicans are.
SCOTUS only stuck a fork into the American carcass to see if it was done.
The US health reformers deserted their wounded on the battlefield 122 dying daily. At least Napoleon committed his best troops to the fray. He did not withdraw in disgrace.
