I think the MA Senate vote had many messages for President Obama and Congress. We are sick of them not keeping there promises and spending money to benefit their lobbyists and hurt the American people. The health care they promised is nothing close to what it is suppose to have been. The only thing I really see is more profits for the healthcare and drug industry by forcing all Americans to buy insurance.

MSNBC:

RICHMOND, VA – As a candidate, Barack Obama promised to pass a health plan with important benefits for the average American. For the typical family, costs would go down by as much as $2,500 a year. Adults wouldn’t be required to buy insurance. No one but the wealthy would face higher taxes.

But a year later, the health care proposals in Congress lack many of those easy-to-sell benefits, which became victims of the lengthy process of trying to win over wavering lawmakers, appeasing powerful special-interest groups and addressing concerns about the heavily burdened Treasury.

“There’s nothing in it the average person could understand about why your costs would be lower,” says Robert Blendon, professor of health policy at Harvard’s School of Public Health. “They don’t even have good illustrations about how it would be cheaper. They did not find a way to save money for people with job-based insurance.”

In short, the broken promises represents the crap they have been trying to sell the American public, but we aren’t buying it.
