1. That whistle blower who used to work for Cigna said much
the same thing. He said he recognized a lot of the wording in the bill.

2. Whistle Blower
The man's name is Wendell Potter and he has been going around tirelessly advocating for real Health Care reform for quite a while. He's been on Moyers and Keith and Rachel and probably many others I don't watch - possibly Amy Goodman and maybe even Bill Mahr?

He is up there with Michael Moore as far as his efforts to help we the people go. in my book, anyway.

4. That makes sense. The "people the industry hired to keep up...
with what they are doing in Washington" were the gang of six. You might as well hire the best with your money, why waste it on the sick who trusted you with their lives.

5. I know there are many who are trying to create real reform.
We are so lucky to have Howard Dean being able to move between Washinton and the rest of America's citizens that demand real "health care" reform.

6. I suppose this means they'll be able to pay some repubs to vote for the scam.
