1. Don't be fooled by "Affordable Healthcare"= We'll take less money for awhile as profit.

Only a not for profit single payer health care ins. is any kind of reform otherwise you'll just see a reduction in costs until lobbyists can rewrite legislation by making more campaign contributions to increase profits again.

These bought and paid for senators know single payer is best but don't want to lose their campaign contributions so are trying to find a way to keep private companies with their fingers in the public pie.

More coverage like dental and visual etc for less money and better quality of care and no deductibles or paperwork to fill out...and medicines would be included...all with NFP SP HC Ins. The bill is already in congress but is being ignored...it is HR 676.

Good on these people willing to suffer penalties to get the message out that Single Payer is being ignored.

2. Is this the video of today's 5/12's physician's protest?

I think it is great these physicians keep protesting and insisting on our rights.
I know the docs went yet again to the Senate today to protest.

All I can say is that this some of best democracy in action in decades.

3. THIS is AMERICAN. THIS is PATRIOTISM.

This is the kind of stuff Conservatives masquerade as; doing something against odds for the common good and NOT some brainwashed ideal started by the upper percentile.

8. Me too.

When you're working for a "mom and pop" and you don't meet the laundry list of prerequisites set forth by "Big Medical", you can't get the coverage you need.
