Dennis Kucinich coming up on Hartmann

[Iwillnevergiveup]

Holy cow - Thom just said a handfull of wealthy insurance executives are killing more people than all the insurgents in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan combined!

[John Q. Citizen]

1. the private health insurance industry is an ongoing criminal conspiracy who are killing

18000 men women and children a year to insurer we buy their "product."

[Iwillnevergiveup]

2. Health care not seen as

a war between Republicans and Democrats, but between the insurance industry and American people. BINGO!

3. K&R

4. State single payer option

passed by 27 - 19. A waiver from the current law....one thing that can keep single payer alive.

ERISA looked for a comprehensive unity of state health care plans - courts have used ERISA to block the creation of single payer plans. HR3200 - ERISA exemption.

PA, OH, NM are in various stages of involvement for single payer.

HR 2424 - permit the GAO to audit the Fed (Dennis calls it a "puzzle palace"). "The Fed is paying banks NOT to loan money."

I think Thom needs to have a regularly scheduled hour every week with Dennis besides his "Brunch with Bernie" hour on Fridays.

5. Listening. And insurance executives have been killing millions for years.

Nationalize health insurance, drug companies, oil companies, and banks and America will take a giant leap forward.
