1. I hope that some caller will take on the real culprits in this
equation--the corporate insurance companies and big pharma. Because the insurance industry has become for profit and involved in real estate and banking, insurance has become a giant scam. When you pay for a product that will actively fight to not give you what it has promised, then it doesn't make sense to keep supporting that system.

3. More GOOP Astroturfing
Leave it to C-SPAN to make sure the GOOP talking points are always front and center...or issues that are used to "energize the base". Be is shows on privitizing social security (they did that last week) or a debate on gay marriage or any topic other than the ones Rove and his henchmen (and by association Brian Lamb and his group) want presented.

Most of what I've heard here is trashing of the European systems and how "scary" socialized medicine is. But then it's better spending time on this than an hour expose into Harry Reid's non land deals.
