How Obama, Democrats sold out on health reform — by Doug Thompson
President Barack Obama promised to rid Washington of the cozy, back-scratching relationships between politicians and well-heeled corporate lobbyists.
Instead, he and the Democratic leadership in Congress hopped right into bed with them and set in motion a conspiracy with health care industry groups that generated a watered-down reform bill and a high-dollar propaganda campaign aimed at selling the plan to the American public.
It's just another example of how big money and special interests control Congress and the White House.
It's also why real health care won't happen.
