“People don’t have time to wait,”
Given that the majority (75%) of some 50% of new bankruptcies are the result of medical bills owed by people who had health insurance, I'd say he's on pretty safe ground with that statement.

It's political manovering but still I like to think his heart is in the right place.

I'm not sure it is merely political. He is an incrementalist - he deeply believes that things happen a little bit at a time, and that the goals for now make possible what comes next. So, while I've not heard this from him before, it seems entirely consistent with his outlook. He's not into advocating things that he thinks are politically impossible now; but that doesn't mean that the things he advocates for the now agenda are intended to be end-games.

So giving control over your life to some government bureaucrat is good? or only incrementally?

Having the kind of people who aren't good enough to get a job in private industry put in charge of your life doesn't ever sound like a thing that is good. Well, it might if you are one of the non-productive moochers who want to get something for "nothing".

Colorado Right believes what he believes.

Obama, for example, was editor of the Harvard Law review. This means he would have offers from every major law firm in America. Every single law firm.

The fact that he decided to "walk away" from the big money is what should be of interest to Americans.

The fact that he came out of no where to defeat a major political force like Hillary Clinton should also be of interest.

If the republicans nominated a monkey Colorado Right would be voting for that monkey simply because he was a republican monkey.

We live in a society where people on the right and on the left care little for evidence. Unless of course that evidence supports their already close minded conclusions.

When CR rests his judgment in the wisdom of "private industry" HR people as a guide, it really says a lot. You really believe the crap you write CR? Really?

As long as there is a profit motive to health care, the interests of the shareholders will trump the needs of the patients. I personally know of a case where a death was a direct cause of an HMO denying a simple test because of cost. I'm sure the dividends were increased by a whopping hundredth of a cent.
