24/7 on internet sites. I imagine you'll be attacked as much as praised for posting this article.

This article is prescient for several reasons: it shows what a scam the AHA is and why it will hurt (D)s in the near and distant future, it shows how easily our propaganda networks con people and, it points out that as the only wealthy country with predatory for-profit health insurance that we will all continue to suffer greatly in the future.

Rec'd!
