Robert Greenwald and Andy Cobb on The Ed Show for Sick For Profit

Some of their success are BECAUSE of the US's system keep in mind: watch?v=hlMRBVaCWQ0

It's not that the people don't know what is going on it's how do we stop our Representatives from being bought and paid for by Big Corporations?
I purpose that the American people set up a committee that asks every person who is running to only run on what the government gives them to run and not except a single penny from anyone. If they don't sign the agreement then we don't vote for them. This is the only way I can see to take the Big money out of our elections.

If you dont believe me that other countries with universal healthcare pay half as much for everyone to receive quality (Usually better rated in quality than the US) healthcare do some research. The beauty of a mixed market economy like the US is that we have realized that some things need to be regulated by the government and we can do so without being called the "s" word (socialist). So once again research other countries' health successes before condemning government help

Ummm I don't know where you managed to find that info, but if you're really suggesting that france, or india, or cuba or England have better surgeons, doctors, and equipment than us, you are sadly mistaken. American health care is simply the best on the planet, this is why political leaders, heads of state, and celebrities all come to the United states when they need any surgery done. Sure, canada has cheaper prescription drugs.. that's about it.

cannuckistan. Not all of us are opposed to higher taxes. Some of us realize that there are subjects such as healthcare in which supply and demand are undermined by the absolute necessity for health and the increasingly complex and technical nature of supply. Theres gotta be a better way than to pay over 15% of our GDP to recieve satisfactory care for all. Who would oppose paying a 5% health care levy to save 10% in expenses? Its time we take a look at other systems and use collective wisdo

djecchi, there is just as much of a reason to believe that this guy is repenting for his earlier wrongdoing rather than doing everything to make money or alternative profits. Your unsubstantiated claim ignored the fact that he couldve kept on benefitting without changing sides. Unless your trying to say that this was all for 10 seconds of fame. Remember assuming things (especially with preconditioned bias - whether you have one or not) is not good for you or me

thank god for canada I think go out and use some of that FREE healthcare ummmm

If you folks want universal healthcare, then you'll have actually pay higher taxes for it...one of things about american politics that makes me laugh is that you demand government services but then scream bloody murder when a politician raises the taxes to pay for it.
But it'll be worth every penny.

Actually, most people would gladly pay higher taxes than continue to be robbed by ever increasing premiums on our private health insurance plan. And people are literally sick of corporate control of their health!

There is something very,fundamentally wrong with a system that allows someone to make a profit on your health or lack there of. If a companies bottom line is effected by how sick you are, it's a no brainer that they are going to do everything in their power to keep their profit margins in the black.
Scary things happen whenever big business is in charge of anything!
