CIGNA Exec Says Michael Moore Was RIGHT! Pt 4
With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack our health care system and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform.

It won’t be easy, _CosmosPrivateer_, because they’ve had the bit in their teeth since the ’80s when Reagan started dismantling the New Deal in earnest. “Industry” won’t take re-regulation lying down. They’ll bribe more politicians, and maybe hire assassins to get rid of their opponents if it comes to that. We need to be prepared for anything the bastards decide to throw at us, and be ready to block their offensive/defensive ploys.

Anyone who wants to know the truth about Health Care minus all the crap please take a moment to visit the comment section of my profile. I have all kinds of RESOURCES. See who’s in the pocket of big pharma. Representatives phone #s. Answers. Scare Tactics DEBUNKED. The easy to read version of the bill sent out by congress. The long version of the bill. It’s a one stop health care reform shop so to speak. Check it out. Let’s unite and share information.

I hope this eliminates the private insurance company’s altogether.
Next we are coming after the hazard insurance agencies then the banksters.
We entrust the worlds most powerful military to OUR government and are afraid of this.
I say we need to get our government in check and all this will fall into place and save you and me thousands of dollars in our life time.

The principles of capital investment for profit and the provision of health care for citizens are 2 completely incompatible concepts.
Every developed country has already had this debate and have come to the sensible conclusion of a gov’t plan.
However not all gov’t plans are equal. France and Germany have a better system than Canada. If the US is serious about health care, they should adopt that best of every gov’t plan. However the industry is not likely to let this happen.

This was excellent … a real eye opener. I haven’t been so passionate about an issue in a long time. Congress better get this done!

I hope people don’t watch this video and come to the conclusion Government should run health care. The admission in the discussion of “lobbying” aka bribing politicians documents of all the scams and the methods of spreading propoganda was the only useful information to take out of this. Those lobbyists and special interests won’t just vanish, they will write the infastructure with every loophole possible to suck the public dry just like they have in any other industry they are involved in..

The Single Payer Plan is the first thing that Potter mentions in another interview: Democracy Now!
The YouTube title is: DN! Whistleblower (15) Wendell Potter Speaks Out Against Health Care Industry.

The BIG problem with this report is that nothing is mentioned about the SINGLE PAYER PLAN which is far superior to the PUBLIC BULLSHIT PLAN that is going to turn into another Wall Street bailout SCAM. HR 676 or nothing till that gets passed. Makes irate that single payer wasn’t mentioned.

I haven’t watched this video for over a month and it only has 1,300 views.
Hard to believe.
People don’t realize how our current system enslaves them to the money changers. All great nations fall they always have.
