I love the fact that Rachel actually talks to labor! What an amazing change from the television of the last 3 decades. Wow. When was the last time organized labor got a platform or a chance to present their case on television?

This guy makes the case, twice, that government sponsored health care would make business easier for everyone in this country, which has been my argument for years. Why don't the other industries gang up on the health insurance industry, which is draining all of us dry?

1. Leo Gerard

is my new hero. That's what needs to be said every time some suck ass Republican starts talking about the unions. Democrats, you need to take notice and listen to what this man has to say. I'm bookmarking this one and I plan to pass it on.

Oh you can't scare me I'm sticking to the union......Union Maid by Woody Guthrie

3. Acceptable Standards of Health Care in Tennessee and Virginia

The health care industry needs a cure.

See what is deemed, defended and supported by Tennessee as The Acceptable Standards of Health care in East Tennessee.

What good is affordable health care if this is acceptable health care ?
