Our fight against the media for decent health care (with links to send to your friends)
Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 03:57 PM by Lorax7844
That's right I said it, our fight against the media. Every year our news media gets billions to advertise big pharma and health insurance and all that cash is buying the silence of the media. Silence on the public option, death by spreadsheet or insurance horror stories. It also buys active right wing garbage, witness last night's hit piece of a townhall from ABC. Do me a favor next time you hear anyone mention how hot Brian Williams, Matt Lauer, or Anderson Cooper is, tell them that they may be hot but it's too bad that they support the majority of American suffering an excruciating death from lack of healthcare. Their hottness does not excuse the evil.

Here are a few articles that do a decent job of explaining better than I ever could. Please read these and then send them to your friends and family.

What good is private health insurance if they drop you once you get sick?

Largest tax payer rip off ever, what we get if congress doesn't include the public option:

Health insurers have forced consumers to pay billions of dollars in medical bills that the insurers themselves should have paid, according to a report released yesterday by the staff of the Senate Commerce Committee.
