More losers on parade!
Ah go back to yer Holy Coast. I think I hear the train coming, you’re gonna miss it!
You know what really bothers me about this video? The fact that it streams so perfectly. Why is that? Whose paying the bills or exerting the influence to make sure this video streams with no interruptions, no gaps, no hiccups whatsoever? In the real world, videos don’t work this way unless somebody is exerting a tremendous influence over the airwaves to make sure we get this entire video uninterrupted. I don’t know any poor doctors, do you? To me, this is just more shifting of the blame….more human nature.
Why did it take Obama pushing for health care reform for everyone to come up with these explanations and answers? Would any of these people be saying what they are saying now if he hadn’t pushed for reform? Doubtful. I don’t care how much smiling and soft music you put behind this, I don’t think anyone is going to give up their fistful of dollars unless they are forced to…and the death and deprivation of thousands or millions of Americans does not faze greed…it merely inconveniences it…momentarily….until it finds a way to make money on it.
Not sure what you’re saying, Anne, if we’re on the same page or not, but you should know that these doctors – and myself, as Orange County chapter leader of Health Care For All California from around 2005-8 – and many, many other activists – have been pushing for single-payer health care for years. Some of my friends for decades.
This Obamacare, well, we’re trying to see the silver lining to it. Is it halfway to the reform we want? A quarter way? Not even. It’s barely measurable. Maybe it is the best that could get through this Congress, they sure seemed to try hard. It does have some reforms in it that will save lives and improve lives, so I’m not going to trash it.
