Nice post. Basically agree with approach. Yet here is a range of PR
responses which may be calibrated.

I think the above is still too mild. The insurance PR shock troops pulled
no punches in LYING about health care reform, demonizing those advocating for it,
conducting their bad-faith politics with their paid whores in the same despicable
way that they have used to extort and privatize 1/3 of the US economy at the
expense of the health and well being of our nation. This is the model that has allowed
non-democratic big corporations with sole purpose of concentrating POWER and WEALTH
to transcend and threaten our democratic institutions and a government organized not for
CONCENTRATING WEALTH but for the benefit of the PEOPLE and their society.

I am no opponent of "free enterprise" but an advocate of balancing what has gone horribly
wrong in the capitalist system due to monopoly abuses, corruption of democratic process,
and corrosion of the rule of law. Although this is about getting HEALTH CARE reform, that
needs to be the focus here, but this issue is WAY BIGGER than just that, it is STRUCTURAL.

These INSURANCE people are not citizens of a world, they stand as outlaws of society because
they abuse their power and wealth. They may see themselves as not evil, just making money, playing
the game, playing it hard and well, subject to forces beyond their control. But in the end they
should be commanded by their humanity, and their failings have been beyond evident. (Some (like Potter)
have decided to switch sides, let us wish him well and hope he finds the humanity he now seeks after
expending so much of his life on the other side of darkness.

We don't need to go as hyperbolic on it as they have done recently, but we do not need to lose
sight of the OUTRAGE we are rightly feeling. We can still be hostile to their conduct, expose
their lies and hypocrisy, do it fairly, honestly, and
