Ex-CEO, Swift-Boaters Lead Attack on Health Reform

Reader64481089, your comment is very correct. The insurance companies are getting rich, and us peons are the ones getting screwed. Reply

So it's ok, when Soros spends hundreds of millions of his own money to steer politics in a country that is not even his own, but these guy decide to fight for something that they believe in and it's treasonous. The Spin Machine on "Full Tilt". Reply

it’s coming from investor and former hospital CEO Rick Scott, with the help of the team that “Swift-boated” John Kerry, the Washington Post reports. Scott is spending $5 million of his own and $15 million from supporters on an ad campaign inspired by the "Harry and Louise" ads that helped kill health care reform in the Clinton administration. *************************************************** Ain't going to work, boys. Why do you think this former "CEO" has that kind of money to throw around. Because he sucked it from the American consumer with inflated health care costs. And the Swift Boat boys have already shown their anti-American colors. Americans are suffering because of health care, or lack fo it, and none of the vicious, lying, evil, far-right, whack-jobs, is going to stop the tide of discontent with the current system. Reply

So why don't any of my friends and colleagues from Canada complain about their system. Rather, they praise it. Reply

Reminder: Those who "swift boated" told the truth. It was the media that changed "swift boating" into a term that hinted there was a lie involved. There was no lie being told by those sailors who made their accusations about Kerry. He was not entirely truthful - and was caught out. Shows what lots of money can do with PR agencies and the help of media who don't mind bending the truth. I watched a You Tube video of Rep. Jan Shadowsky telling a group that the purpose of Health care reform was to put the private insurance industry OUT of business. She's in our Congress - a member of the Socialist party - but also a Representative. I believe her rather than Obama's glib words that we will be able to keep our private insurance. I also believe the reports by Canada that they are in a lot of trouble with health care. I also believe Tom Daschle when he says we will have to ration health care. I'm 64 and don't look forward to Obama's plan for me. No way! Anyone who doesn't do their homework deserves the anguish his plan will bring - unfortunately, I, too, will suffer. Poor America. Why did we sell out to Hope and Change without knowing the score. George Soros spent millions to discredit Bush - his money was well spent and we were totally brainwashed. Soros advocates assisted suicide. Make you nervous? Reply

Lindame evidently has good private insurance and that is good for her. I wish all Americans did. She does not take into account the fact that many Americans have lost their health care insurance due to the recession or can not get it due to preexisting conditions. Something needs to be done to fill the gap between those who have insurance and those who cannot get it. Insurance companies are in business to make money and cannot afford to care about people and therefore will never solve this problem. Reply
