Dr. Nancy..... What's with all the rightwingers on MSNBC lately?
If I wanted to hear anti-health reform spewage from the party of no, there's plenty of other channels to watch.
And someone needs to get Contessa Brewer under control with her right wing libertarian fantasies.
It must be nice to be a rich TV news host and I can understand why you don't want to pay more in taxes but most people in this country are not millionaire TV hosts.

4. And the dragging of Dylan Radigan over from CNBC is disheartening...
Well, at least at night, the shows are all mostly on our side..

8. At least is one of the honest one's on Healthcare Reform.
He maintains as long as Insurance Companies have a big seat
at the table,we have problems. The Insurance Companies are
the reason Health Costs are so unbearably high. Everyday, he
points this out.

He also points out Wyden plan is another way to keep Insurance
Companies in play. Does not prove that big a threat to Insurance
Companies. Is this why the GOP might buy into something like the
Widen plan but refuse to support the Public Option????

3. but they do want to maintain that exclusivity
as if they earned it all... lot's of reasons people make it to the top economic brackets, most of which have no merit.

companies to the congresscritters, but what about the news media? Is there a little payola going on there also? Naw!! Never would happen. :crazy:

9. Watch Ed Schultz on MSNBC
It's sickening to watch all those pampered, overpaid, well-insured media pundits and reporters cozying up to the GOP and the Blue Cross Democrats and lobbyists and pooh-poohing the President's efforts to reform health care in this country.

At least we have Ed Schultz on MSNBC, as well as on many Progressive radio stations. He gets the health care issue.

Ed is going to be in Denver Aug. 30 for a major town hall meeting that will focus on health care.

In the meantime, keep emailing and calling the Media and members of Congress on the urgent need for health care reform. Do it every day.
Organize demonstrations, start leafletting, do whatever it takes to keep the momentum going.
