Q: Whose opinion on health care do you trust?
It all gets so confusing, I want to hear the views of a few knowledgeable people whom I trust on the bills being formulated.


as for congress-critters, I'll take Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Sanders and Howard Dean.

1. Rule #1
Don't listen to anyone who received/receives money from the insurance industry no matter what their position.

2. Anymore? None except maybe Dennis +Grijalva. I have just about given up.
I don't think i trust any of them and it doesn't really matter.They will do as they please. Maybe it never really mattered.

3. I'll take my own opinion ....
I'm not being paid off for one thing, and I don't see any politicians who I am going to trust. Kucinich and Grayson come the closest, but I'll still hold my little mental reservation to see what happens. And I still want Single Payer.

5. I've backed off on one ...
... and I'm very disturbed to say it's Howard Dean.

I value more and more each day what Bernie Sanders has continued to communicate across the internet and for years via Thom Hartmann.

Dennis has known for a long time...

9. This is a funny question for most of DU
because the honest answer should be "Whomever still agrees with (insert your own opinion here), because everyone else is clearly a traitor or an idiot."

10. I can understand the divergent views. It's not an easy thing to figure out.
Thanks for posting this... I was considering posting something like this, but I'm sick to death of the inevitable flames.

11. I gave up going to my doctor, cuz she was just part of the McMedicine Machine
Go here, go there, but no doctor gives a diagonosis or treatment plan, so why would I keep running their maze and paying the clinic that employs them? They have a quota to see. They help each other meet the quota. As the patient, I have not received any real medical care.

I don't trust corporate employed doctors anymore. Sure as hell don't trust pols getting $$ from insurers.

There is no medical care, really. Just various corporations squeezing until you die or run out of funds.

If you can't be exploited, they have no use for you; medical CARE is getting to be a myth.

As far as health care REFORM, I like Dean and Kucinich.
