the campaign to kill health care

it's no secret that your insurance company did everything in its power to kill the public option in the recent healthcare bill, and to water down everything else to turn it to their advantage.

here's how they did it:

putting wolves in sheeps' clothing (to wit, the so-called 'blue dog' democrats - one of whom later showed his fangs and switched parties). and by feeding false information ('death squads') to the orwellians at fox 'news' (we use this term loosely). and some active blocking by the republicans using procedural techniques that would have shamed machiavelli.

so which of our senators did they pay off in order to make sure that we don't all have healthcare, and that our healthcare costs continue to skyrocket? here are some sources to help you find out.


so congratulations, if you didn't fight to get the public option and true healthcare reform to pass, and if you were taken in by these simple parlor tricks. you've guaranteed that you will eventually no longer be able to afford healthcare, and that we will continue to have children in the united states - the most wealthy nation in the world - that have no health insurance at all.

nice job!
