The horror of racial profiling by Republicans in Arizona was preceded by the Democratically-controlled US Congress and President who passed and signed a health insurance promotion scheme in March 2010 that explicitly denies private insurance to undocumented immigrants even if they have the money to buy it, and of course, they cannot receive public benefits being undocumented.

See March 21, 2010 press release from National Organization for Women, "Health Care Reform Victory Comes with Tragic Setback for Women's Rights," at

http://www.now.org/press/03-10/03-21b.html

"Fact: The bill imposes harsh restrictions on the ability of immigrants to access health care, imposing a 5-year waiting period on permanent, legal residents before they are eligible for assistance such as Medicaid, and prohibiting undocumented workers even to use their own money to purchase health insurance through an exchange. These provisions are counterproductive in terms of controlling health care costs; they are there because of ugly anti-immigrant sentiment, and must be eliminated."

All socialist organizations, like Peace & Freedom Party, and the Green Party, support Medicare for all also known as single payer healthcare, or better yet, socialized medicine for everyone on demand, paid for with our tax dollars. They also support amnesty for undocumented immigrants as the only serious immigration reform, preferably at the same time as the immediate repeal of NAFTA and all other trade agreements that allow for dumping of US goods on Latin America, especially Mexico, that is the cause of the search for jobs by undocumented immigrants. If these are your positions, you have to vote socialist or Green; you cannot vote for the evil Democrat-Republicans and expect anything to get better.

When we march this May Day Saturday for the international workingclass, we march in unity with undocumented immigrants and all other members of the workingclass. An Injury to One is an Injury to All!

I think that Obama has done a great job in bringing the US population public health insurance. I think that it is an integral part of the UK and other nations' public life. In many ways, access to healthcare is a basic human right. I have been following developments at the insurance index that lists health insurance sites at www.dozeninsurance.com recently. I feel that Obama is doing a good job for the USA overall, it has only been a year. So let's stop giving him a hard time and let him get on with his job. After all, he is a doing a lot better than the previous President ever did

so much noise to cover the facts.

this is a health of insurance companies bill.

written by the insurance companies for the insurance companies.

it rips 500 billion off of medicare and gives it to the incestuous public-private piracy, we all have come to know so darn well.

Baucus Thanks Wellpoint VP Liz Fowler for Writing Health Care **

Not a surprise really that upon passage of the health care bill, Max Baucus would openly thank Liz Fowler, the former Wellpoint VP, for writing it

this is fascism in its purest form when the state forces you to buy, from private capital vested interests without any democratic restraints.

where there are boards which decide if you even receive any health care dependent upon your 'value added' coefficient.

Inside over two thousand pages of weasel wording.

Buypartisanship.

Like all the other betrayals, it requires much powdered sugar to cover it over.
