This video rocks!

Senator Max Baucus is against the people.

Single payer is the only solution.

Heres a rundown of money that the people who are blocking real reform in health care have received from the health care industry: Specter ($4,02m) Baucus ($2,8m) McConnell ($2.7m) When you take a look at Big Insurance, the non-presidential candidates who got biggest legalized bribes were the 7 senators tasked with the job of killing single-payer: Nelson ($1.1m) Baucus ($1.1m) Lieberman ($1.03m) Specter ($1.03m) Schumer ( $0.98m) McConnell ($0.93m) Grassley ($0.88m)

Freedom of Speech?

[Heyokat]

Unsurprising that the "officials" try to make a joke of the deadly elitism that allows them to ignore the very people they're supposed to represent! I have a friend who has been literally sentenced to death because the insurance was allowed to alter the meds they cover. She's not even allowed to appeal!

People should unite and join these brave doctors and nationally march for the single-payer plan, Locally AND on Washington. How about October 5th? It must a week day when Congress and it's political failures on both sides can witness the power of the people. It's a good date and we'll all promote CITIZENS ON THE MARCH on YouTube.

Only in a sick and monstrously selfish country like the United States, is health care considered a political issue. Fucking Republican filth, know that we hate you all over Europe and will not serve you at restaurants either, pigs!

Conservatives enjoy killing people for profit.

Well, people its only the beginning! Just a few people being removed from the forum for speaking their minds, is only the beginning. Its time to stand up and demand a new government in this country!
