“Obama and the Democratic Party (as well as Republicans) is totally owned and bribed by tens of millions of campaign contributions, six lobbyists to each member of Congress, is ramming this corporate state (fascist) “reform” down the throat of the people.”
Thank you Mr. Wells.
The AFL-CIO should take a serious look at the programs of the various socialist parties around

“America Wants a Public Option—Will Senators Listen Now?”
This is simply false!
Single-payer “Medicare for All” was supported by 70 % of the public, the large majority opposed to continuing for-profit gangster corporations from killing tens of thousands for lack of health care.
Over 500 union locals passed resolutions in favor of “single-payer”

They'll only lose b/c they're jerks.
