The whole US government is in the pocket of special interests. It's why you proudly have the most wasteful and unproductive government in the western world.

The House lacks the votes to pass the Senate’s healthcare bill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday.
Pelosi threw cold water on the idea that the House could muster enough support to pass the Senate’s health bill, which includes a number of provisions liberals in the House find distasteful.
“I don’t see the votes for it at this time,” Pelosi told reporters during her weekly press conference. “The members have been very clear.”
…”We have to get a bill passed. We know that,” Pelosi said, adding that “unease would be a gentle word” to describe House members’ attitude toward the Senate legislation at the moment.

Dunno how much of this is necessarily due to his awesomeness...I'd give at least as much credit for the situation to Obama/Pelosi/Reid for their despicable behavior. Behavior that even the liberals of Massachusetts couldn't stomach....people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

That certainly seems to be the way it's been since I moved here (1999). And to be honest, bearing in mind the poor behaviour of the Republicans when they had Congress and the White House, I think I'd prefer to see a conservative Democrat paired with a Republican congress. Too much one-party rule and they think they can ram through anything they want. Unfortunately, with Obama as the incumbent in 2012 I'll have to go with whoever the Republicans nominate....people like to cry a lot... - Pekka

Obama's new healthcare idea? Price controls!
creating a new Health Insurance Rate Authority to provide Federal assistance and oversight to States in conducting reviews of unreasonable rate increases and other unfair practices of insurance plans.
President Obama will propose on Monday giving the federal government new power to block excessive rate increases by health insurance companies, as he rolls out comprehensive legislation to revamp the nation’s health care system, White House officials said Sunday.

I thought this bill was dead, since there was no workable compromise.
What's this new atrocity to human reason?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
