Bernie Sanders - summarized - it is the People, or the Corporations.
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 03:23 PM by NRaleighLiberal
Simple as that. It can't be both. This is one of "those times" where we will get to see what the health care/insurance industry and the government really think of those that they claim to serve or help.

At this point, it seems to me to be nothing but contempt wrapped in greed wrapped in lies.

Bravo Bernie. Great, great speech.

Now what?

3. THAT is the bottom line.
So how will our so called "representatives" counter that fact?

4. Down the memory hole. Will Bernie's clear impassioned speech get anything but token coverage?
Doubt it, alas.
Folks who speak the truth in this country tend to get ridiculed, marginalized, or outright ignored by the PTB.

The fact that Pres. Obama had none of these things happen to him should have been a clear warning sign.

7. He said it plain.
...and "health insurance companies are no longer needed". True, that. They are dinosaurs - they're nothing but useless moneypits today.

So instead, we make them bigger and give them more power to steal from us. Just like the banks. Forget economic recovery. Obviously, that isn't intended.
