Obama holds summit on healthcare reform 04 Mar 2009 President Barack Obama today launched the first major effort in 15 years to revamp the US healthcare system, inviting more than 120 policy experts and stakeholders to the White House for a summit aimed at developing reform. In remarks at the White House, Obama described healthcare reform as a moral and economic imperative that has for decades been precluded by "failures of will, or Washington politics, or industry lobbying". (Obama invited the architects of the system which he allegedly wants to change. As a possible Democratic candidate for president, John Edwards stated that the healthcare industry had already *had* their turn 'at the table' - for eight years under Bush. Of course, the GOP-owned media ensured -- as they did with Gov. Howard Dean -- that Edwards would not be the nominee. The corpora-terrorists who destroyed the Clintons' efforts for healthcare reform in 1993 were welcomed at Obama's summit. But, single-payer advocates had to threaten to protest in order for Obama to grant them access. -LRP)
