MUST WATCH!!!-Doctors Protest Senate for Single-Payer HealthCare-1/3

Baucus's Raucous Caucus: Doctors, Nurses and Activists Arrested Again for Protesting Exclusion of Single-Payer Advocates at Senate Hearing on Healthcare

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare—the system favored by most Americans—continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform. On Tuesday, five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program. [includes rush transcript]

Health care insurance corporations are criminally milking the system to the tune of hundreds of thousands of lives lost every year; and for what? Profits, profits, & more profits.

Obstructionists to national, single payer heath insurance claim that health care is not a right; but to that flimsy argument I say that beyond our moral obligation, we all have a right, among other things, to be protected from our uninsured neighbor's undiagnosed & untreated communicable disease.

The true heroes are the ones getting arrested rather than the real crooks in the room. They are setting a great example to the rest of us.

Baucus. What a joke. He's just another bought and paid for corporate lackey like 70% of Dems and 100% of repubs. We'll never have single-payer until we replace these cronies with Congress persons that actually represent We the People, like their elected to do.

@0bamaDrama That bullshit. Private Insurance is hell for Patients AND Doctors. Only Insurance companies (The middle men) benifit from this system.

Dont worry though all it will take is time when America comes out of its cave and joins the rest of the western world for good healthcare.

Most "libs" (like me) ARE "judeo-christians" Duh

[jimsrisom]

Most actually do - they are tired of watching their patients die for lack of insurance.

[gphx]

I like how libs accuse 'judeo-christians' of being heartless bastards against taking care of the poor. Last I looked most of the free hospital names started with 'Saint', 'Baptist', etc. etc.

This is not Healthcare Reform. Doctors & nurses DO NOT want a Government-run healthcare system, in any way, shape or form!
