Keith is on and his special comment

[nadinbrzezinski]

[Mrs. Overall]

1. Yep--healthcare reform. He says it's ultimately about "death."

Wow, he is very emotional--even in the first few minutes.

[malaise]

4. Life and death

Profound!

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. It should be,

I had that contact almost two years ago now... for two full months.

It is that emotional.

[annabanana]

6. All the days he's missed recently is because his Dad

is sick. I expect he's been "up close & personal" with the health care thing a lot lately. It will send all sane and compassionate people completely over the edge, and rightfully so.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. He also lost his mom just a few months ago.

He's spent a lot of time in the last year dealing with the so-called "health care system" in this country. It's definitely gotta be personal to some extent.

[Faygo Kid]

2. Also posted, a little more obnoxiously. Sorry.

What a powerful opening.

[bagimin]

3. I'm on it.

[ProSense]

7. Keith Olbermann is characterizing the public option as Medicare for all.

His problem is that he has bought into the notion that most Americans oppose a public option. That is not true.

[johnfunk]

8. "Larouchebags" -- I like that term!

[slay]

9. His cutting through all the bullshit to natural fear of death as motivation -"medicare for everyone"

as solution which many of us has thought a good idea - great opening. :applause:

*edited for spelling

[valerief]

11. Wow, he came out swinging--with the truth. Just as "healthcare" is about death, all talk of "war"

is also about death.

Wow, he's talking realspeak and I'm glad he is.

[slay]

12. And insurance as "stylized blackmail"

very powerful

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Keith you are making me laugh... about dad

it is funny NOW.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. I wonder if some folks in Congress are watching

Yes Pelosi, yes Reid that means YOU... how about you Baucus?

Get over the fucking fear... and do what is right.

[NightWatcher]

16. nope, they are at fund raisers thrown by lobbyists or at their large houses

[slay]

18. fuckin a - you are more likely right than not

we know the republicans are bought and paid for and it only takes a certain number of dems too to shut everything down - it's a terrible situation we are in and keith is exposing it in many ways right now by highlighting healthcare and why we are in this situation

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

15. Keith is on dead on with this commentary

[endless october]

17. watching.

good so far.

[Subdivisions]

19. Call for free healthcare clinics like one in Houston in each of 6 states. Didn't catch the list. n/t

[XOKCowboy]

20. It sounds like he's already started organizing them.

We'll see. Incredible segment.

[Berry Cool]

21. Rachel had information on it.

There are tears in my eyes.

Keith, you did it again. :loveya:

He's got my money. All he has to do is tell me where to send it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. That's what I have been looking for

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Remote Area Medical and also Dr. Oz do them.

Two separate orgs doing the same thing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. RAM is a wonderful organization

they should work together.
