Wendell Potter: Translating the insurance industry's feel-good rhetoric (This is great!)

[YOHABLO]

3. What About Our Message?

From now until ... eternity it seems, progressives are in constant battle to get the truth out, especially when it comes to the Health Insurance Monopoly. Yes, we have the good people at MSNBC, Bill Maher, Current TV, and let's not forget the wonderful progressive radio talk show hosts like Thom Hartman, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Bill Press etc.. even though the right wing talking heads still out number the left .. like three to one. Things being said like "affordable" and "secure" are such bullshit to anyone who has had to deal with these monsters. No one seems to quite understand what is going on until they become chronically ill and are on the phone, almost on a daily basis, with some well indoctrinated twit sitting in a cubical in Omaha Nebraska. Always with some "helpful" tone telling us that because they will not cover some procedure or medication that you can go through some appeals process that will take a month or more ... you know the deal. I live for the day that Health Insurance for profit will be eradicated. Let's just eradicate it altogether. This idea about "government" coming between you and your doctor .. who are they kidding? Maybe if more Americans would travel outside the U.S. and experience other country's health care systems, they'd get it.
