If we wake up and the bill only gives insurance to those that got kicked off the wagon of the health insurance companies then we have completly got shamed

Turn on Fox Moos and go back to sleep, genius.

This is the worst report I've ever viewed from realnews. This was the kind of "reporting" that one gets from the likes of fox snooze. Realnews is hypocritical in not having a single payer supporter in this report. Instead we got that cheap obamapologist roger "the dodger" hickey. He is not a progressive and neither are the phony organizations in which he's involved! Hey, hickey! NO ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY!

SHAME on realnews for producing this piece of tripe!

Starting from Scratch is gobbledygook and babble.

Hokes Pokes mumbo jumbo.

The USA already has a single payer system, It's called Medicare so, WE ARE NOT STARTING FROM SCRATCH, PERIOD.

WAKE THE HELL-UP, start thinking for your self's, and quit letting politicians and the Health Care Industry do your thinking for you !

Puppet politicians act as prostitutes to the Health Insurance Corporate Elite. Baucus sold seats at the table(he took $400,00) from health insurance comp. and pharma.) They get their money by denying claims & causing bankruptcy & death.

Take away elected officials tax payer paid health care. Let them buy it on the Free Market.

When corporations controll the government& their concerns trump that of the average person's you have fascism. Not a democracy,not a republic.FASCISM

Well, it depends what they're watching on HGTV ;-) As for where to start, I recommend searching for "The courtroom testimony of James P. Cannon" on Google (with or without quotes) and clicking on the first link. Also at the James P. Cannon library/Internet Archive, see "America Under the Workers Rule" by James P. Cannon, which will be under the "1953" heading. Rising unemployment will provide the incentive, and the time. Hopefully people use the internet wisely while they can still afford it.

I think it is fair to say this, though I think some democrats should go ahead and join the republicans or start adopting more progressive ideals, But I think people like Obama and others really are a force that is tugging Left (as confusing a term that can be) and I don't think it is good to assume that Obama is the same as Bush, Look at how difficult it is for him to get Guantanamo closed, Not just the politicians but the people in this country are very capitalist minded and afraid of change.

There is so much information out there though...Where to start? I barely understand your other comment...I looked at your youtube profile and I see the books you have read, whoa when are people going to read "Materialism vs, Creationism from antiquity to present" during commercial breaks while watching HGTV? I think more knowledge needs to flow and be shared, the internet is a start, but then people need incentive to learn, and time to learn..

how can the lower economic brackets reduce or equalize or surpass the amount of power that the rich corporate entities and upper 10 percent or upper one percent have? Boycott? class itself is a tricky ambiguous thing...The snake seems to eat it's tale everyone i part of the circle to a greater or lesser degree..at the same time we criticize others we somehow play a part in how things are at some level...me too...
