2. How front groups are calculated to defeat reform with any meaning.
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 10:29 PM by lonestarnot
Front groups created by ins. cos.who raise premiums to pay for this shit. Now the shithead is blaming costs and people who choose not to purchase private insurance.

He left CIGNA in early 2008 so he's a fresh whistleblower! Can't believe he's on CNN.

7. He has been around exposing the insurance Companies for quite a while now.
Edited on Mon Mar-08-10 10:42 PM by BrklynLiberal
I believe he has been on Rachel Maddow's Show.

He said it all started when he went down to a free clinic one day, and realized how many people were not getting adequate health care.
He is right up there with exrepuke, dirty trick player David Brock and that man whose father was a fundie preacher and now he speaks out against them.

a former VP at Cigna and is a great guest on every show he's been on.

14. KO, Rachel and Ed have all had him on for months now. What he is
saying is that we need reform and the PO and that the present bill is good for the insurance companies.

16. He's right. A hand-out to Health Ins. coprporations mainly
And he says we ought to take the deal and keep working at real healthcare reform. (which I doubt will ever happen as long as there is no opposition party)
