Reply #41: This really depresses me [View All]

Not that I don't see your point - it's a desperate situation and she has the power to make a difference - but the idea of Americans access to decent affordable health care being influenced by whether or not that bloated idiot deigns to speak on the subject is inexpressably depressing to me.

I think this country took a mean, hard wrong turn when we went from Phil Donohue to Oprah Winfrey. Donohue would have done 20 shows on the health care crisis by now, with a strong case made for single payer too.

I'm pretty sure Oprah did do a show on this back when Sicko came out. I recall it prominently featured insurance industry super-lobbyist Karen Ignagni, so that gives you some idea what you can expect from Oprah.
