I'm Just Wondering... when will the fog that is set over the current healthcare debate clear away, and we will see that the FUNDAMENTAL issus is... healthcare as a for-profit industry, or Health4All Aericans???
Bill Moyers (check out pbs.org, click Bill Moyers) ran the most provocative show last week about healthcare. His guest is a 'wistle-blower' from the Insurance industry. Bottom lines: the industry worked 100 hrs/week to kill reform in the 90's under Clintons, workded hard to discredit Michael Moore and his 'Sicko' project (not hard, becuz Moore is a bit of a crank, but 'Sicko' was alarmingly right-on and a bit of a uncovering investigation on the daily sins of the Health Insurance business)... and are now 100% geared up to defeat any healthcare policy change that includes a public health option... BECAUSE the for-profit healthcare mulit-trillion dollar industry would be closed for business and found out to be the shake-down operation that it is.
Unfortunately, the Republican leadership have become the lackeys for the for-profit healthcare industry. Read Luntz's playbook for the for-profits, then listen to the Republicans. This breaks my heart, as I used to be a Republican, and I accept many Republican ideas of government and taxes... but they have become the front-men for the Industry.
Bottom line, America. For-profit Healthcare at the same price we now have... or Health4All, and the Industry and their Republican front-men lose all their huge cushy profits (and political contributions).
