This little article just hit my email and it seems on target for Soroush’s question.
I think this article, in a summary manner, details a very typical process that occurs when
a grass roots effort takes on an issue and pushes it into mainstream consciousness. It is totally
typical that the 1% will try and co-opt it by incorporating it into their system so it can be controlled
by them. However, if mainstream integration is a goal, this is how it can/will get accomplished.
History shows this happening over and over again.

Subject: Re: [Minutus] Complexity Baked into Obamacare
Oh you have been attending too many tea parties!
The opposite is the case.
While abhor te fact that the "Obamacare" doezs no iinclude alternative health options, it wll certanly make life less expensive and more humane for all.
Example:
Currently an uninsured person has to be sick enough to be in hospital and/or the emergency room to get ANY care. I know on local lady who spends close to 50% of her time in hospital witih incalcitrant pneumonia.They discharge her now and then, but have to readmit her when she falls ill again. SHe'd MUCH raher be able to seed a doctor occasionally and get some ongoing care. The latter woudl be FAR less expensive than the way it is now, and she'd et it under Obamacare.
She is a TYPICAL example.
Tea party propaganda is just that. They want the world to all be "their way" as per their uninformed and selfish greedy coccoon, and cannot see the wood for te trees.
My own case is another example. I was denied a prescription for diabetic test strips in 2009 as it cost $200 for what I needed. I wrote letter after letter as I could not afford them, being too ill to work. At the time my other Rx for potassium was $90 a month.
Sure enough less than a year later I had a stroke as a consequence of not being able to control my glucose.
Some Obamacare would have prevented that. Instead the ACTUAL cost to the taxpayer (of wihch I have been one sinice 1969) was 3 days emergecy room costs with MRIs, CT scans, echosounds, heart tests etc etc - multiple tens of thousands of dollars - plus an intensve care week in hospital at about a thousand a day or more - plus six months rehab to learn to talk, write, etc, unknown high cost, plus a new $3500 wheelchair I could lift with a weaker system plus its maintenance (more costly than a car) plus an increased potassium prescription of $500 a month for lfe due to damage from the stroke - for life - and that's without counting four other prescriptions I do not use, and all the extra ongoing specalist care I now need due to stoke damage that I did not need before.
And you think Obamacare will be more expensive?
No - these are examples of what it will PREVENT and how costs to the country will be slashed.
THIS is why we need Obamacare. It causes lives to become humane and costs to go down.
EVERY country that has a socialized health system - has a healthier population of whom many more CAN work and pay taxes as they DO get medical care to keep them well enough. Sweden is a great example.
So people n USA need to stop letting the selfish blinid greed of some, lead them blindly down the garden path of ignorance.
We have a despicable situation in this country where countless decent people suffer as badly as in third world countries - all for lack of a humane system of health care.
If SOME people want a different systen - fine - have that choice as well - but do not throw a large percentage of decent human beings down a minieshaft with a tail wind and pretend they are not there - many of whom COULD contribute to society in large measure if only they could get to a state of health to enable that to happen.
Since when are we allowed to treat human beings as throaways so we can pay a bit less taxes anyway - IF that was the option,
Even animals do not do that. They tend their sick and weak members.
To the question asked by Soroush:
The entire nation will need to demand it. It is hotly prevented by powers with a greed motive (drug companies and western medicine organizations, tea parties who do not know what they are about) and homeopaths lack the finances to lobby improvements in the bll drectly - they'd need to get there by more grasss roots methods.
I'm not sure if being national as opposed to state level, it may work to have a constitutional amendment as abest option. For example we need freedom of health care just as we have freedon of religion. That may be the best way to go. Even health care laws here respect health care that is religiously motivated becasue that is a constitutional right.
At state level, which is where practice of medicine laws occur (and must be changed laboriously state by state) , we may be powerless to change Obamacare to include alternative health care of any kind, not just homeopathy.
At federal level we still need state ratification, but at least it would be a longterm solution and it is one dependent on poplation opinion, not drug company and other greed-based opinions.
A huge problem is that the USA education style is one of teaching people WHAT to think, rather than teaching them HOW to think. It causes the most crazy voting results, as nobody is taught how to investigate and know the truth; instead the average person does as they are "told", perhaps by whomever shouts loudest on TV, or spends the most on propaganda and advertising - including lies, and misleading mud-slinging
Namaste,
Irene
