Political parties are really tools of the industrial-financial elite. Big money backs both parties; and, they are only interested in helping the common folk if it furthers their respective agendas.
For example, the Insurance Industry is dropping over a million dollars a day on the Republicans trying to kill the Health Reform Bill in order to protect their lucrative position as gatekeeper between patients and doctors. On the other hand, the Democrats are hoping for a big payback at the poles in the 2012 election. Both side are working for their own interests.
Lies, scare tactics and bags of cash don't seem to be working so far for the insurance industry as most people realize that the current system is broke and only works for those who can really afford the expenses. In a down economy, that is fewer and fewer people.
The Senate, where big money really has a lot of influence, will be much more interesting to watch as the debate plays out.

Classic example of how all are deceived. The big insurance companies wrote the current bill. They are acting as if they don't want it to try and make themselves look as if they are on the side of the people and against government. It's a very old trick. The same trick the bankers pulled back in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act. They ran this massive campaign railing against the legislation making people think "well if the bankers don;t want it it must be a good thing." Replace bankers with insurers. Same scam. I guess you could say, reverse psychology in mass proportions. They very much want P&L guarantees you can bank on that.
