Ever expanding numbers of people refuse to participate in a political process they consider a sham.  The current ongoing health care debate reflects what drove them out of a system under the suffocating domination of special interests.

National polling on the health care issue delivered an overwhelming result.  The American people in substantial numbers support a single payer system such as currently exists in Canada.  

What we hear from our elected representatives is that this is a democracy and they listen to the voices of the people.  Really?  In the current instance, where support for a single payer system has been amply manifested, it is not even a subject for debate despite the fervent efforts of a few independent minds in Washington clamoring for such a discussion, such as Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.

The ongoing process in which President Barack Obama sought a bipartisan health care bill has been pathetic.  Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa was courted.
