Pollack calls white retirees ditto-heads. I don`t know how much more of this wonderful post-racialism I can take.

Desperation requires the use of labels.

I pray they continue to use such tactics because it will invariably only make the growing majority against Barry that more angrier. The people are getting fed up with this BS. Failing to recognize or acknowledge such only leads to their future doom, in one form or another.

Well I would think a black man trying to kill old white grandmas is... a l’il racist, but as long as he smiles and makes no sudden moves, she won’t suspect a thing.

I read his bio; a Liberal social engineer who still cannot accept the concept that Government programs cannot increase IQ.

He is of the U. Chicago Marxist crowd ZerO and Cruella De Ville hung and got grants with...public dollars to fund Socialists who tell us with mouthfuls of bacon-wrapped scallops and a mouthful of pinot grigio that we should pay more taxes in order to help the institutionally-trapped “poor” they enjoy patronizing.

F Liberals.

Liberals can not ever admit that are wrong about even the facts and logic spoil their efforts.

If they don’t get their way, it will always be because of the the mean, the hateful, the rich and the stupid. (Did I mention those to cling to guns and religion?)

Pollack is an idiot.

Trenchant and pithy...a one line indictment.

He has no argument so he calls people names.

Like an idiot does.

Ipso facto and presto.

Tell Human Stories

Harold Pollack is Professor of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago, where he is faculty chairman of the Center for Health Administration Studies.

I should say immediately that actual voters are only one part of the puzzle, not the hardest part, either. Right now six senators are negotiating a powerful bipartisan bill. Altogether, they represent fewer people than live in greater Chicago. The drive for health reform is not slowed because of public ambivalence. It is slowed by Senate rules specifically designed to slow down (and thereby thwart) large reforms.

Still, public opinion matters and is malleable. I propose four suggestions, none of which will shock President Obama’s advisers.

Start with images of uninsured people in the E.R. and people who lost their homes because they got cancer.
.First, he must use his unique standing to highlight the human stories that motivate serious reform. This debate started at a human level, with images of uninsured people who wait long hours in the E.R. for grudging care, people who lose their homes because they get cancer, those with preexisting conditions who can’t buy insurance or who are stuck at a crummy job to keep their coverage. We can’t allow these faces to be obscured by the inherent complexities of health reform.

Second, he should puncture complacency about an unsustainable status quo. You may believe that you have good insurance. Absent effective regulation, you have no real way to know. You certainly can’t know that it will remain affordable for you or your employer. As costs escalate and financial insecurity moves up the economic ladder, this really matters.

Third, he must reassure seniors. Opponents are spreading the notion that health reform entails deep Medicare cuts, and that the president would ration care to seniors to finance universal coverage. Oddly, this campaign is being waged by politicians prone to criticizing Democrats for neglecting the entitlements crisis. Still, it appears effective. There is something especially sad here. Enacting Medicare, achievement that it was, has made universal coverage harder by peeling away a huge constituency for further reform.

Finally, President Obama must remind us to keep smiles on our faces. As Colin Powell put it, optimism is a force multiplier. We’ll have many disappointments, but a historic achievement is within reach.
