In addition, our current for-profit health care system sucks up 2 trillion dollars from the economy. A lot of this money goes to Wall Street speculators, lobbyists in D.C. and political campaign contributions to politicians like Michelle Bachmann, Mitch McConnel, Orrin Hatch - to name a few.
Health insurance premiums have doubled in the last 9 years and by 2016 will suck up 41% of the average families income. And, I might add that health insurance does not guarantee medical care. Each year 700,000 people file for bankruptcy because of medical bills. Most of these people have health insurance.
The more money we give to Wall Street, K Street, and the Hill, the less money is available for anything else. You can't run an economy if people are too poor or too broke to buy any thing. And that also means no jobs. Health care refom is essential for economic recovery.
The so-called moderate Democrats need to understand that. (I'd also point out that like Republicans, a lot of Blue Dog Democrats like Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, Kent Conrad, and Max Baucus get generous campaign contributions from health insurance companies. Bi-Partisan really means BUY-Partisan.) And all this money is coming out of your pocket.
ALL news forums seem to relish these phony interviews with phony experts. Doesn't seem to matter what news agency you watch or listen to; MSNBC, FOX, NPR even.
The two Dem Gov candidates here were extremely weak. This interview is conjecture and spin.
lol!
I hope her fans have had time to learn how to read.

They were looking for a brain. They gave up.

Inside the faux exterior, there was no brain, no backbone, only a very large mouth and arse, wearing a GOP (Guardians of Privilege) button.
