A good Bill Maher quote : (Original Post)

(12,272 posts)2. May I remind people that some of the Nazi doctors came to the US after WWII
Our CIA brought them in and they positioned themselves in our space program, defense department and medical system. For-profit medicine is a scourge.

(39,909 posts)5. I wonder what Maher would call...
a Law that forces Every American to BUY Health Insurance from For Profit Corporations?
It certainly is NOT "Socialized Medicine",
and it isn't even Universal Access to Health Care.
...but DURec for Maher's quote.
He NAILS the For Profit Health Insurance Corporations with THAT one.
The Health Insurance Industry:
*manufactures NOTHING
*Provides NO Service
*produces NO Wealth (Value Added)
*and their only product is invisible, and must be re-bought every single year
Why are we subsidizing this completely parasitic "industry"?
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

see single-payer in our lifetimes? I shudder to think not.

(10,893 posts)8. I just heard another great quote from him tonight.
He asked how conservatives could possibly be so unhappy with PBO, when many liberals are unhappy with him and how we still don't have single-payer health care, marijuana isn't legalized, our defense budget hasn't been cut, and we are drilling even more than the * administration.
