President Obama and Congressional leaders are promoting health care reform, including health care coverage, as a major goal for 2009.  With some 46 million Americans uninsured and millions more underinsured, how do you think our elected leaders can best address the nation's health care needs?

Big Pharma has the most powerfuul lobby in Washington (roughly 650 lobbyists), and elected

officials of both parties are substantially indebted to

them. I think the effects of predatory capitalism will have to become worse, public outrage even greater, and a filibuster-proof majority elected (one hopes at the midterms) before a single-payer national health system will become politically feasible as well as urgently financially necessary, which is aleady the case.
