Mad As Hell Doctors Rally for Single Payer This Friday in Burbank
GET MAD. STAY MAD. MAKE HISTORY.

Come to an amazing event with the MAD AS HELL DOCTORS sponsored by Health Care For All-California, San Fernando Valley.

The MAHD are a group of doctors from Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) who are, well, mad as hell! They’re mad at the lack of access to health care for millions of Californians. They’re mad that even with employer provided health insurance, many necessary treatments… are not available to insured customers. In short, they’re mad as hell at our broken health care system – and so are we.

Come hear from patients, doctors, nurses, and others. Celebrate the California One Care campaign (www.californiaonecare.org) and see many of the actors introduce some of the best ads from the “Ad a Day” campaign.

3. The Docs know this is the best way to cut costs and make HC
truly affordable.

It is a thing to keep this message "out there".

6. Look out, doctors
You're about to find out what happens when someone crosses this administration from the left. Now, if you were out there advocating for higher insurance premiums and more interference in the delivery of health care, you'd have a nice, soft chair at the table to discuss the reform of health care. As it is, just wait for the ka-pow.

7. Most doctors and nurses are on our side
And they realize that the insurance industry are nothing but blood sucking leeches on the system, providing NOTHING of benefit.

Just like the idiotic policy of Dubya's that student loans go through private lenders and not directly from the gov't. $50 Billion just wasted going to the banks to shuffle paper and do nothing that the gov't wasn't already doing. Gotta give credit to Obama for realizing that this was a wasteful detour of the funds.

So, too, the health insurance industry provides NOTHING to benefit the health of patients, the sanity of doctors, and the overall cost of medicine. Quite the opposite in fact.

9. meanwhile even the military says that health care costs are unsustainable--WITH THEIR BUDGET
yet they want to pass the cost off to the budgets of the common soldier and their families.

Are we finally starting to see how government works when it gets to be crunch-time in this country:

1. The super wealth demand lower taxes ON TOP OF A TAX CODE full of loopholes and accounting gimicks designed specifically to cater to the super wealthy.

2. Elected/selected Congress critters hold working-class tax relief hostage unless rich cronies get thiers first even while the super-wealthy already maintain loopholes and accounting gimmicks not available to the working-class.

3. The super-wealthy manage to shelve a single-payer health care OPTION in favor of a mandated insurance requirement which directly benefits large insurance conglomerates.

4. As soon as the initial provisions of health reform become effective, the largest health care conglomerates balk at offering coverage in accordance with provisions to benefit the working class.

5. The superwealthy celebrate the deployment of our finest soldiers who are deployed to fight wars for oil.

6. Then, the military brass announces that healthcare costs are unsustainable and must pass those costs onto the budgets of the average soldier and their families. The superwealthy want all the benefits of living in a country were their freedom and privileges are protected by the working-class and were the military is deployed to supply their projects with cheap oil. But they don't want to pay for protection and they don't want to pay for the military's inflated budget. The superwealthy wants to enjoy the benefits and privileges of wealth and protection AND they want the working class to serve in their military and pay their taxes to make it all happen. All the LOOPHOLES belong to the American moneyed-classes.

7. But then, showing their true colors when it is crunch-time, John Stossel speaking for the aristocracy explains (IN THE MOST THREATENDING TERMS) that if the superwealthy do not get their way, they will simply leave to set up roots in places where their privilege is better recognized. And this message is brought to you by rich people who sell YELLOW RIBBONS to tie around trees in celebration of protecting the privileges for the superwealthy.

SO MUCH FOR THE PATRIOTISM HORSESHIT THAT THESE CREEPS IN THE MEDIA PASS OFF WHEN THEIR ADVERTISERS SAY JUMP. THE MEDIA SHOWS US PICTURES OF THE SUPERRICH AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WAVING FLAGS AT US, ALL THE WHILE THEY ARE PLANNING THEIR GREAT ESCAPE FROM THE HINTERLANCD OF AMERICA FOR CLEANER BEACHES IN SOME BANANA REPUBLIC WHERE PRIVILEGE IS PAYED FOR IN THE BLOOD AND LABOR OF THE UNDERCLASSES--THEIR TRUE COLORS ARE SHOWING.

WAKE UP AMERICA.
