Is this guy Republican?.. saying socialised healthcare is fairer and cheaper..jeez.. maybe there is some hope for America after all, but I fear he's a lone voice ignored and villified by the corporate media.

We the People have the power to make the gov't follow the constitution. The gov't is We the People and we all failed
wake up america? how are they supposed to wake up when only a hand full of politicians care to tell the truth while the rest lie saying that what theyre doing will help
sad if this man ran for president he would get shot because he is too honest and would expose what the illuminati is trying to do. very sad but I do hope he does get to be president and put america and everything on track and fix what geroge and obama couldnt do
The idea of a cross-ticket campaign of Dennis & Ron certainly has its appeal, but this video starkly shows how unlikely that is. So many of your other videos depict Ron Paul talking about how undesirable a "socialized economy" is, and then all the sudden you post one of Kucinich saying truly & fully socialized health care is the only acceptable solution. Although the two seem to like each other and respect each other's honesty, how could they possibly reconcile such fundamental differences?
I shoul be president i swear ill own it man.....first thing ill say is hey soldiers go back home what are u doing in iraq... then ill say to Aipac and many other lobbies to gtf out of this country... then ill ill make chuck norris my bodyguard... and live protected till i die

America is a stupid, stupid nation, as most religious people are...If you reject reason and logic, you will believe anything a "leader" tells you~ Faith is NOT a virtue, it is a servile weakness, a refuge in cowardice, and a willingness to follow people that are of the highest degree unscrupulous ~
Single payer health care systems seems to be the only rational alternative. Socialism, socialization and socialazed medecine, those are all words you can argue for days in a row, but what it all comes down to is your moneys worth of health care security. Socialized institutions notorius efficiency problems are nothing in comparison to health care in the hands of private insurance companies. Single payer buying HC service on a free market ftw!
@TheGrindsprintHello. I'm a Drama student in London, and am about to start creating a piece of theatre about the American Health System. To do this, I need to interview (via e-mail) American citizens. Would you be interested in taking part? I would be very interested in your opinions, as an American, on the issues surrounding Health Care in you country.
how are libertarians greedy? we believe in individual rights, individual success, individual freedom. whats greedy about that? what just because we protect private fucking owners all of a sudden we are the bad guys? come on now man. the Libertarians is the only way this country is going to get back to its roots. freedom.
There is nothing anti libertarian about single payer, it's been found to work and should be voted on by states. If passed that means the governed have consented to voluntarily pay these taxes. Focus on cutting the real problems and this isn't even an issue.
Was amusing to see when my housemate who recently arrived from LA almost fainted when she realised she did not have to pay a cent to see a normal GP here in Australia, we too have a "private healthcare" however it really does not make a difference either or, America you need to listen to this man he is your voice to fix the systems moral and ethical codes that need to be rectified!
@SuperFifthwheel nah. he just believes in morals. he's not like all these other democrats that are cutting deals with wallstreet behind closed doors. people like pelosi, barney frank, obama, orzag, etc are just the puppets. its sad. everybody who pushed for single payer was either ignored or slandered. Kucinich, Conyers, Larouche and other organizations just got dissed.
ron paul wouldn't run with that douchebag dennis kucinich. by the way, dennis sicks Obama's balls on Air Force one and lands with a deal...sells out...see more at IDIOTS4OBAMA COM - Hey Miss Kucinich, if you want a real man, email our site.
Yet, once this health care reform passed, no one will ever want to get rid of it.. Which is why republicans feared it so much. Kind of how you all feared social security.
@jwh30385: that was a Democratic strategy, but I feel with all my heart that the American people have no choice but to repeal this measure and start again...we can't let this nonsense stand...
Again, I'm willing to bet my health that it won't be repealed. No one wants to repeal social security anymore, even though republicans screamed socialism, communism, fascism, and the end of the world once social security assed. Turns out it wasnt so bad after all haha
@jwh30385: you need to stop drinking the cool-aid for once in your little liberal life...Soc. Security is a piece of crap...it is eating up more and more of the budget every year...it was another flawed socialist undertaking...just like this flawed health care bill...we MUST repeal it and replace it with a good reform bill, of course
@ConservativeRuleinUS you sling the word liberal like its dirty, look it up, its funny how so many seemingly intelligent people fall for the con/lib greenteam/goldteam crap. MOST of us want liberty and freedom. we can UNITE on fronts like these. remember united we stand? your comments do little, if anything, for your country or your people.. grow up
@ConservativeRuleinUS: I guess you could try getting social security repealed too, but it turns out people actually like it.. Meaning getting it repealed would be impossible today. You could try repealing other "socialist" institutions such as the VA or Medicare too.. Doubt it would get any serious following. Reagan stated in 1961 that if Medicare passed, we would in the future be telling our children what it once were like in America "when men were free".
@jwh30385: actually, we knew what you liberal Dems were up to...you try to give freebies to the do-nothings in the country in an attempt to buy their votes...you all do it at every turn...no matter if it is hurting our nation...you don't care
@ConservativeRuleinUS: You're saying that every one of the millions of Americans who live in poverty are poor because they do nothing? What about the millions of people who work 2 or 3 minimum wage jobs? I assure you, they are the hardest working people in this country.
Kucinich, you sniveling little fuck. You're a liberal pig, who deserves to be thrown out on his socialist ass. You changed your vote after Obama said he'd come to your district for a fundraiser....you little piece of crap.
Paul/ Kucinich 2012 - Not only are they great friends but they have both been ON RECORD saying they would run together. It's more than just ending the wars. but repealing Nafta, ending the Fed, and curtailing our ever-increasing debt.
The pharmaceutical industry, frankly, is thrilled with this public option bill. And despite all their squawking, the health insurance industry is pretty happy, too. You know, Wall Street has rewarded them by driving up the value of their stocks. Open you eyes
What do you mean the pharmaceutical industry is thrilled? America is one of the last places in the world that doesn't regulate drug prices. We pay a fraction of the cost for the same drugs here in Canada. A public option would lead to price regulation, which is why the drug companies have vehemently lobbied against it. Obviously you need to open your own eyes man...
by 2013 private health insurance will be illegal to purchase. how do you suppose that will increase competition? it wont. it kills competition... so the price of one company (the government) will sky rocket beyond your premium today.
A research team at Harvard Medical School says 2,266 veterans under the age of sixty-five died in 2008 because they were uninsured. Their estimates are based on their recently published findings in the American Journal of Public Health that shows how being uninsured raises a persons odds of dying prematurely by 40 percent.
Why refuse free health care ? it's ridiculous, there's no reason to be against this bill. Do people prefer getting ripped off by insurance companies ? Please help me, I'm really confused, WHY are people against it ?
have you ever heard of free enterprise? take the blinders off of your face! the reason insurance companies are "screwing" us over is because they are already not allowed to participate in free enterprise. take away state boundary legislation and watch the price of health care reduce to half of what it is today. allow the bill and youll be forced to pay for a product. they are breaking constitutional laws and spitting on the bill of rights. oh and wont be able to afford health insurance. WAKE UP
haha please. do some research. take a class. grow up. or leave this country. i dont work my ass off everyday to help some low lifes who take well fare every month and get high with my money. this country promises equal opportunity not equal results. you get what you put in. not give me give me give me cause im a dumbass dead beat
Many Democrats and Republicans are corrupt and controlled by corporate companies, bankers and lobbyists. So far Dennis and Ron Paul actually makes some sense in Congress.
And the men and women that fought and came back from War practically half mutilated doesn't deserve free universal health care? Last time I read, they were denied special healthcare for their needs. Over 2,200 US Veterans Died in 2008 Due to Lack of Health Insurance
alright, some people arent getting it... this bill does not magically whip away your health care cost. you will still be paying for health insurance even with this bill. nothing is free
lets face it Private health insurance is a defective product. We know from our studies of bankruptcy that the majority of Americans who face medical bankruptcy start their illness with private health insurance but are bankrupted anyway by gaps in coverage, like co-payments, deductibles and uncovered services.
OK... so i guess the Mortgage industry is a defective product as well? With your arguement you could say this. You could also say that owning a home is just a big a right as health insurance... i guess next everyone is gonna want the government to pay for every Americans home. Please, have some self respect and take care of yourself... dont ask someone else too. Your no better then the beggars on the street. Get a job then get your priorities straight (not directed at you sanchez).
We are talking about human lives here at stake, not mortgage industry? That is another topic. Comparing mortgage with people's health is not really a good comparison. Take care. Note: Health Care is a Right, Not a Commodity.
@csanchez2009 Do you have the right to take away the earnings of another man's labor? Does one have an obligation to someone else no matter what, because a person says "health care is a right, not a commodity", even if that means you have to take away another man's earnings without their consent or want? Freedom and Individual liberty are the things of concern here. Fuck it. Let that wall down and get familiar with this new concept everyone is crowding around for.....LIBERTY. R[3VOL]UTION.
But aren't banks bail out, health insurance, federal reserve,..etc taking away our earning already due to corporate greed? I say we need to restructure the whole political way of thinking and restructure the economic policy as well.
Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, professor of medicine at Harvard University and a primary care physician in Cambridge. She is also co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program and testified about uninsured veterans before Congress in 2007...perhaps you might want to do some research of your own
I want to just say that Im from the uk. Yes we have socialised healthcare(OOO scary) and contrary to popular belief it works for many. No its not perfect, but guess what? you can get private healthcare too. Wow, aint that something. healthcare for all. wowza, think i just had a heart attack, no worries though cos Im covered ;)
If Canadian has such health care why do Canadian's have a residence just over the boarder so they can by our individual health care plans and get care here in the US. How do I know this fact. I worked for many years in individual health insurance, we sold and administered their insurance. They could not get the care in Canada. Just two months is spoke to a Canadian in Houston, TX she was very concerned about the lack of care for her very ill father.
Want to know how I know your story is bullshit? Because anybody who worked in the health insurance industry (Unless you're a fucking janitor) would know the difference between "Canada" and "Canadians".
Also, you have horrible grammar. Thats probably why you only worked there several years, you probably got fired.
response to pbmdh-- Thank you for your intelligent comments. Your vocabulary is a wonderful example. It is your option to believe or not it is a fact. Have you talked to an Canadian who has a serious ill loved one lately? You might share your knowledge. Being a man you must realize money gives you a lot of options in life.
A politician who could actually be worthy of respect ..Kucinich is awesome...americans need to start putting ppl like him in charge instead of the corrupt dems & reps who are against health care just so they can continue getting their blood money from the health insurance corportations..wake up america
You know, I dont agree with Kucinich on everything but at least hes honest. I dont agree with Ron Paul on everything but at least hes honest. These are two men, of very few, in Washington who will actually listen to the people and understand that their opinions come second after the will of the people. Not surprisingly these were the two guys completely ignored by the media in the 2008 presidential campaign.
universal health care does NOT include most prescribed drugs. Canadians still opt for private health insurance for medication which = BILLIONS for private insurance companies & pharmaceutical giants. The Canadian system is far from perfect but ANYONE can walk into a hospital and be treated free of charge because thats what citizens deserve.
I always love listening to dumb americans telling people how universal health care is not good....
I am originally from Germany and lived in 2 other countries as well who also prive universal health care....and we in the US have the worst system a nation could possible offer for its own people.
Listen to folks who lived in a universal system and not to those never even been out of the country.
And by the way, I am one of those folks who provide care so people get better Thanks Kucinich
Sooner or later the system will crash. We just need to keep our wits about us when a solution arises. Massive political shifts always come in a time of crises, we just need to ensure it shifts in the right direction. Less government is always better.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for ONE people to dissolve the political partys which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and EQUAL station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God ENTITLE them, a Decent Respect to the opinions of HUMANKIND requires that they should declare the CAUSES which impel them to the separation.-" from CorporateCannibals DenialCare Barons & all that rushGoobletyGOoP!

uh gee, lets see...THE PERSONS YOUTUBE NAME SAYS SO! its "votepaulkucinich2012", obviously referring to a presidential run, kucinich vice president, paul president..
The GOV has proven time and time again that they can't run a lemonaid stand without going over budget and corruption. See medicaid and medicare for examples. Why not fix those and loosen the restrictions on medicaid? Leeve the working class out of it. They could pass tort reform to help the working class that want the GOV to stay out of our lives.
LOL. Humana and Aetna are lowering their premiums as we speak. They don't want to lose customers. For once, they actually care about our health and not our money. Even if Obama's healthcare plan doesn't pass, it will still scare the shit out of those cheating health companies and hopefully they would continue ethical policies. Let this be a lesson to greedy companies.
Hey, Righties! Wake up and note that Obama, and the other Corporate prostitutes in congress, don't want single payer either! As for taxes, I suggest you look at the BLOATED, EXTREME, military expenditures which are where 40% of your precious taxes go!!!!!!! STFU Panama 2468!
Yep. This country is finished, honestly. I'm not even joking. Watching the trash Corporate is trying to pitch us as 'health care reform' just does it for me. We're done, we're screwed. Just break up the union. I am not kidding. Not one bit.
Well, the Census Bureau asks respondents if they've been without insurance at any time over the past year. A lot of the folks who answered, "Yes," simply changed jobs over the last year! By changing the question and asking only about the previous month (as tested by the Pacific Research Institute), the "uninsured" number drops by 60%!
Thanks for making your info sources clear. You've just qualified yourself as an ignorant sheet of ass-wipe. By citing extremely biased, totally discredited, bogus right-wing sources like Pacific Research Institute, the Lewin Group, the Fraser Institute, etc, you've just invalidated all the lies that you've been spewing here. When you so conveniently explain away the well documented, horrific numbers of uninsured Americans, you disparage yourself and your fellow citizens.
take care of tort reform and illegal immigrants and that would do more to help the healthcare system then the single payor plan which will cost us an assload.
The current US healthcare system keeps employees in jobs with decent healthcare benefits. They will not leave and start their own business or invent or create anything on their own because they are terrified to strike out on their own and pay for healthcare. Health care is a pocketbook issue for most Americans.
I think you're right on. And so if a single payer health plan was instituted in America, all citizens would have healthcare coverage regardless of where they worked or how rich or poor they were. The more I look at the issue, the more I see that the single payer plan that Mr. Kucinich is pushing so hard for is the only way to go. Don't be fooled: The only barrier that is really standing in the way is the Health Insurance Complex. You're right, this is a pocketbook issue for Americans.
Would u have a small steak that has great quiality or a huge steak that was undercooked and that was spoiled??? It doesnt matter if everyone has healthcare if that healthcare isnt up to par. Yes everyone will be covered but for what? a cold? the flu? Thatll be it. You will still have to pay for more expensive procedures and even still it will not be the best. You get what u pay for. You want cheap, youll get cheap.
I would rather have cheap than none. Your analogy doesn't work because you don't consider the fact that there are millions of people who can't afford ANY of the proverbial steak you're talking about. The message you are sending is "be rich enough to afford the best or just die because you don't matter."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its not about cheap or none. Its how much compared to how good it is. And the analogy isnt the best but you got my point. Stop being an ass and focus on whats imporant. I hate when u ppl do that. Nit pick every freakin thing like if it really matters. Yea ppl would be a lot "richer" if you FUCKIN liberals would keep the govt and your damn TAXES out of our checks. BUT NO!!! u want more social programs! STOP WITH IT!! Ppl would be able to chose better healthcare if u didnt take away 1/3 of their $
Giving health care to anyone is a privilege. Dennis has bee ncropped of of debate photos, his polls taken down in debates because he was so far ahead and had only been given 6 minutes, had death threats but has never stopped fighting for the people. I believe if he was not stopped he would have won the election. I/m also a fan of Ron Paul & Bernie Sanders. But most of all, I am a fan of "We the People" & be the best you can be.
I agree and say 'amen' to that. The notion that a single payer plan will make our taxes skyrocket is the real hoax, like you say. If these socialist Ds get what they want, everybody will get health care coverage: HELL NO TO THE PUBLIC OPTION. HELL YES TO THE SINGLE PAYER PLAN!!!
Single payer may not have much of a chance but your information sources are pathetically skewed; same misleading talking points (LIES) that the insurance industry and the paid-off politicians keep spouting off. I have family in the UK and in Canada: It is NOT a 'FAILURE' over there like it is here! More than One and a Half times the population of Canada, here in the US (45million) HAVE NO CHOICE (no coverage). The insurance companies are effectively rationing your care here in such a cruel way.
Isn't it a terrible thing when hard working Americans who love this country have to tolerate being told they're 'clueless' and to 'move to Canada'? The only 'clueless morons' are those who believe and repeat the same lies and talking points that the Health Insurance Industry, Big Pharma (& their Republican shills) routinely spew. Meanwhile, another 14,000 families will lose their health insurance this month. Only clueless LOWLIFERS would defend this American tragedy. Learn to think, johnnovisas.
Sorry. I had MY facts wrong. I said that 14,000 Americans would lose their health Insurance coverage every month. The facts are that 14,000 Americans lose their health coverage EVERY DAY. That is well over 400,000 every month. Panama2468 just spewed that the 'libs' are taking 1/3 of their income and preventing them from getting rich. LOL! Lots of Americans are forfeiting 1/3 of their family incomes for insurance premiums. Anti-health-reformers are Anti-America; bought & paid for, shit-fer-brains
LOL!! where ja git yer facts, pal? Canadians certainly do not "flood' in to America for surgery! Either they're sent over & paid for by the Canadian government or they are very, very wealthy and can afford to go to Mayo, UCLA, etc. Believe me, any rise in taxes will still be far less than what you'd be paying for your health insurance premiums. God help you if you lose your job and become sick and incur a 'pre-existing condition'. Flippin's right; yer facts 'r all laughable- source FOX Network?!
The most powerful contributions to society did not come from corporations seeking profit.
Nikola Tesla did not establish alternating current electric power because he was out to make a buck.
Louis Pasteur, Charles Darwin, the Wright Brothers, Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton did not make their massive contributions to society because of material self-interest.
Universal Healthcare isn't perfect. Money still plays a detrimental role in that system as well. You see, we have the technology, and the resources, to eliminate the need for doctors to diagnose most ailments. However, the use of such technology, despite the materials being available, is not cost effective.
If you think you might have skin cancer, there is no reason why an optical scanner could not be invented that can scan your arm and immediately understand what the condition might be.
The books "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins, and "The Best That Money Can't Buy" by Jacque Fresco are also recommended reading.
I would be skeptical of a doctor who has profit on his mind. If he says my kidney needs to come out, does it really have to come out, or does he just need some more money for a vacation?
Louisa L. Hay has a book.."You can heal Your Life". It has helped me multiple times, I keep it around at all times. Perhaps that may be of some help to you. Blessings and good health.
The idea that competition and profit incentive breed efficiency is a corporate MYTH! I lost a lot of respect for the report when that became the focus. And the comparison of "government provided" services for example was laughable.
Obviously I can't elaborate enough with a character limit.
Please, view Zeitgeist: Addendum and The Corporation, both available free online. The Zeitgeist Orientation Guide, written and video version, is also HIGHLY recommended.
Single payer universal health care costs would be lower than the current US system due to lower administrative costs.
Federal studies by the Congressional Budget Office and the General Accounting office show that single payer universal health care would save 100 to 200 Billion dollars per year despite covering all the uninsured and increasing health care benefits.
Canada spent about the same as the U.S. prior to shifting to Universal and now pay almost a third of U.S. expenditure.
I have a feeling you're not going to watch the video I suggested. Why not? I watched your video. Is it that you just like to hear yourself talk and only want attention? That's what I think.
I enjoyed the first portion, but noticed a bias early on referring to single payer healthcare as government run, or socialized medicine. I encourage you to do some research on your own to recognize the difference between the two.
In addition, almost all of the evidence appeared to be cherry picked. Given that is a media report I am not surprised. Mainstream media is corporate owned and operated. Fox News once fired two investigative reporters for daring to expose Monsanto.
The pharamcuetical companies have a stranglehold on our media outlets. They rely on the advertising revenue from the pharmacuetical companies in order to operate. When Fox News reporters attempted to expose Monsanto years ago they were fired after refusing to doctor their report because Fox couldn't afford to lose the advertising revenue.
This incidence is briefly glossed over in the terrific documentary exposing corporate corruption that can be found here on youtube called "The Corporation."
That is a good point about the ad revenue. Problem with Kucinich is he and, or his staff squelch the exchange of ideas on the Kucinich forum by BANNING anyone who speaks in favor of Israeli families. They will ban your IP and you will no longer have a voice. Shame on DK for this!
Dennis Kucinich himself takes no part in his forum. He has more important things to do than moderate an internet forum. Ideas and opinions certainly shouldn't be censored, but you can't blame Dennis for that.
This isn't Fox News and John Stossel is a highly respected investigative journalist with a very distinguished career and has a reputation for being balanced and fair. He just reports the facts. Nothing was cherry picked he just told it like it is. And how was it cherry picked? Maybe he just said something that contridicted your claims and you didn't like that. A lot of the things you told me about, especially the waiting list thing he shows that they are in fact true.

Socialism, socialization and socialazed medecine, those are all words you can argue for days in a row, but what it all comes down to is your moneys worth of health care security. Socialized institutions notorius efficiency problems are nothing in comparison to health care in the hands of private insurance companies. Single payer buying HC service on a free market ftw!

There is nothing anti libertarian about single payer, it's been found to work and should be voted on by states. If passed that means the governed have consented to voluntarily pay these taxes. Focus on cutting the real problems and this isn't even an issue.

What do you mean the pharmaceutical industry is thrilled? America is one of the last places in the world that doesn't regulate drug prices.

If Canadian has such health care why do Canadian's have a residence just over the boarder so they can by our individual health care plans and get care here in the US. How do I know this fact. I worked for many years in individual health insurance, we sold and administered their insurance. They could not get the care in Canada. Just two months is spoke to a Canadian in Houston, TX she was very concerned about the lack of care for her very ill father.

universal health care does NOT include most prescribed drugs. Canadians still opt for private health insurance for medication which = BILLIONS for private insurance companies & pharmaceutical giants.

cameron6136 2 years ago 2
I think you're right on. And so if a single payer health plan was instituted in America, all citizens would have healthcare coverage regardless of where they worked or how rich or poor they were. The more I look at the issue, the more I see that the single payer plan that Mr. Kucinich is pushing so hard for is the only way to go. Don't be fooled: The only barrier that is really standing in the way is the Health Insurance Complex. You're right, this is a pocketbook issue for Americans.

Universal Healthcare isn't perfect. Money still plays a detrimental role in that system as well. You see, we have the technology, and the resources, to eliminate the need for doctors to diagnose most ailments. However, the use of such technology, despite the materials being available, is not cost effective.
If you think you might have skin cancer, there is no reason why an optical scanner could not be invented that can scan your arm and immediately understand what the condition might be.

Single payer universal health care costs would be lower than the current US system due to lower administrative costs.
Federal studies by the Congressional Budget Office and the General Accounting office show that single payer universal health care would save 100 to 200 Billion dollars per year despite covering all the uninsured and increasing health care benefits.
Canada spent about the same as the U.S. prior to shifting to Universal and now pay almost a third of U.S. expenditure.

I have a feeling you're not going to watch the video I suggested. Why not? I watched your video. Is it that you just like to hear yourself talk and only want attention? That's what I think.

No, you have my word that I will watch the video.

Very well. I hope you enjoy it.

I enjoyed the first portion, but noticed a bias early on referring to single payer healthcare as government run, or socialized medicine. I encourage you to do some research on your own to recognize the difference between the two.
In addition, almost all of the evidence appeared to be cherry picked. Given that is a media report I am not surprised. Mainstream media is corporate owned and operated. Fox News once fired two investigative reporters for daring to expose Monsanto.

The pharamcuetical companies have a stranglehold on our media outlets. They rely on the advertising revenue from the pharmacuetical companies in order to operate. When Fox News reporters attempted to expose Monsanto years ago they were fired after refusing to doctor their report because Fox couldn't afford to lose the advertising revenue.
This incidence is briefly glossed over in the terrific documentary exposing corporate corruption that can be found here on youtube called "The Corporation."

That is a good point about the ad revenue. Problem with Kucinich is he and, or his staff squelch the exchange of ideas on the Kucinich forum by BANNING anyone who speaks in favor of Israeli families. They will ban your IP and you will no longer have a voice. Shame on DK for this!

Dennis Kucinich himself takes no part in his forum. He has more important things to do than moderate an internet forum. Ideas and opinions certainly shouldn't be censored, but you can't blame Dennis for that.

A official campaign re-election forum with Dennis Kucinich's name on it ....might have the TOP man check his staff once in a while!!
If D.K. can't make sure his name isn't being ruined by un-scrupulous people...then Dennis doesn't deserve to lead anything.

This isn't Fox News and John Stossel is a highly respected investigative journalist with a very distinguished career and has a reputation for being balanced and fair. He just reports the facts. Nothing was cherry picked he just told it like it is. And how was it cherry picked? Maybe he just said something that contridicted your claims and you didn't like that. A lot of the things you told me about, especially the waiting list thing he shows that they are in fact true.
