They Dump the Sick to Satisfy Investors: Insurance Exec Turned Whistleblower Wendell Potter Speaks Out Against Healthcare Industry: Wendell Potter
http://tinyurl.com/healthfraud

The "Private" sector once again fails. Trillions in waste, fraud and fines but idiot American Government Haters cling to Corporate Media anti-government pro-corporate propaganda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With 1,300 private insurance companies and thousands of different health benefit programs designed to maximize profits, private health insurance companies spend an incredible 30 percent of each health care dollar on administration and billing, exorbitant CEO compensation packages, advertising, lobbying, and campaign contributions. Aren't we all delighted to know our health care dollars are now circulating all over the Halls of Congress, paying outrageous sums of money to lobbyists, making sure we do not do the right thing for the American people? Public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and the Veterans' Administration are administered for far, far less than private health insurance.

Let me conclude by saying that I understand that the power of the insurance companies and the drug companies, the medical company suppliers--the medical equipment suppliers--is so significant, so powerful that we are not going to pass a single-payer, Medicare-for-all program. But at the very least, what polls overwhelmingly show is that the American people want a strong, Medicare-like public option in order to compete with the private insurance companies. That is the very least we can and must do for the American people.

-Sen. BERNIE SANDERS VT.

  • thanks, you really helped vent my anger.

    Stop being a slave to republican propaganda and start thinking for yourself America.  Otherwise your "American dream" will be in the toilet.

    Stop fighting amongst yourselves and listen, compromise. Good luck.

  • The current Republcian Party is not the party of Ike, is it not the party of Teddy Roosevelt, it is certainly not the party of honest Abe. It is the party of thieves, scams, racketeers, of vested wealthy interests whose money is made by ripping other people off. Should you point out their scams, your are called a LIBERAL!

  • I'm not a dem or a repub, but it was the Dems that railroaded this health care plan through, with Odumbo right at the lead of the fanfare. When we take a step back and realize that 98% of the house and senate are nothing more than a den of thieves, we can see what we are dealing with. Since they all have the "goods" on each other, when one doesn't go along with a plan, they throw them under the bus. Our mainstream media is more controlled than it ever has been, that includes MSNBC=GE Corporation

  • @sarahalyssia Thats if the people in power dont believe in government. If you have people who think big gov is a good idea, they will generally make it work like OTHER european nations. if you have a party (republican and some democracts) who think gov is shit, then give them power wtf do you expect? here's an idea the people who think the gov is shit shouldnt have the right to be elected into a big gov.

  • right on bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • FRANK YOU ROCK! Im sick and tired of all of the corporate whores.

  • I like your approach. Tell it like it is, and hold nothing back.

  • And is there a difference between the rights military industral complex and Obamas? Its owned by the elites and to say oh the right is always wanting to go to war.... well what the fuck changed? nothing? Frank you are one STUPID ASS FUCKING DOUCHEBAG LOSER.

  • @slushomatic So true i stoped this video when he said that. I was agreeing with him until he brought up that the right is brainwashed by corporate propaganda. But obviously he left out the left. Right vs left is brainwashing corporate propagada what a fucking tard he has to ruin a good thing by choosing sides like the peoples don't even exist.
