I can't be silent anymore. I'm a physician in solo practice. I deal with Medicare and for-profit insurance companies daily. Insurance is not the same as coverage. We need to join the rest of the civilized world and provide at least a single payor system. Our health should not be traded on the NYSE.

LOOK at your negative rating. They are watching this video. You have to understand these people have invested so much emotion into fighting against the dems and healthcare reform that facts no longer work on them. Its sad but as long as fox is in business the truth will continue to suffer.Everybody acknowledges that fox is a terrible news station but nobody will talk about how fox's distortions and fear mongering has become a MAJOR issue.Somebody needs to make them tel the truth.

@BabaORiley1972 THANK YOU! I've often opined that insurance is gambling, and your health is not something you want to make bets against. Actuaries are odds makers, insurance agents are bookies. How foolish must we be to choose to gamble against our health as a means of paying for our healthcare rather than embracing the fact that we all get sick, we all need care at some point in our lives, and we as a society should all have access to decent care.

FOX news invaded China. Those something got talents are spread widely over there already. Soon they'll promote Communists are the greatest. Remember how they promote Capitalists are the greatest here? They don't need anything new.

Right leaning media wont touch this story. It is against the interests of big money. ALOT of money is spent to discredit and to provide disinformation on subjects like this. The shear fact the over 4 BILLION was spent to smear nancy pelosi in the mid term elections says it all. 4 BILLION to just smear one single person... can u imagine how many people 4 billion dollars could help care for? And now those same people are begging Obama for an extended tax break! WAKE THE -F- UP PEOPLE!

Can we boycott fox?

[onewhocares08]

i agree with you. there are so many people that post stories but then have no real facts to prove otherwise. i watched glenn becks show on here and the last segment this perosn with a college education thought they knew more. they posted info about toyota but had no web sites to reference. so i found some web sites and posted them. its real easy.

Fox news station blows away all the other, how is it that they are terrible. Provide examples of stories they have distorted. What fear mongering? The news and reality is where the fear lies. when have they not told the truth. I am sure many others on here would like to read your list as well, considering you are all about FACTS. Thanks
