1. I can recommend this but I couldn't watch the whole thing

It breaks my heart, and I feel like crying watching others in pain and suffering.

It makes me wonder how callous a heart must be to object to health care reform.

2. Lady in video is not exactly right...

The woman in the video should not have blamed Obama.
Obama had no control over who the Congress had seated at the hearings, therefore I won't rec this.
Also, on the campaign stump Obama did NOT say he would push for single-payer if elected president, he said that IF we were starting from scratch then single-payer would be the best way to go. He also stated that since we aren't starting from scratch he that single-payer now wasn't the best option.

3. Who provided this clinic?

Are there more videos about this? I'll have to hunt around.

6. This is the free clinic set up by Remote Area Medical,

Stan Brock is the founder. They were founded to provide health care in South America but because of what has happened here, they are now spending more time and resources in the US than in South America.

These expeditions last for 3 or more days in one place. In the case of LA, it was an 8 day event. There are many videos on youtube regarding this event. There are a couple of them linked here in the political videos forum. I watched the press conference this morning and found it interesting that the only person from the federal government was Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Where was the rest of the CA delegation, at least the Dems? This clinic is a graphic representation of the desperate need for health care reform in this country.

5. The greatest health care system ...

...in the greatest country in the world!

USA! USA! USA!

That our representatives don't hang their heads in shame knowing that this is going on is beyond me. It's inexcusable.

7. Certainly anyone with an ounce of decency should be hanging their heads to witness

such a lack of humanity.
