MSNBC The Rachel Maddow Show - 6 August 2009: Exposes More Anti-Health Care Reform Players. Thomas Scully - Bush Administration's administrator of Medicare who ordered another official to withhold the true cost of the prescription medicine benefit from Congress. He threatened to fire the actuary who came up with the true numbers, which is illegal. Scully was never charged and became a lobbyist for at a venture capital firm who invest in medical devices. As a board member of Solantic, Scully is working with Rick Scott, the chairman, who has organized the angry mobs at the health care town halls.

Rachel shows the America's Health Insurance Plans' August recess town hall meetings talking points and Freedom Works action kit for disrupting the meetings, brought to you by Dick Armey, which takes money from pharmaceutical company.

That would fine individuals who don't have insurance -- that's not reform, that's not "socialism" that's fascism.

The health industry is funding the right wing wackos in order to get the bill THEY want passed.

The corporate bill most Democrats and DUers seem to support.

It's like when Hollywood funds groups to protest a movie in order to increase turnout.

You guys who still support this abomination are being played... big time.

The whole concept of a "public option" implies that health care reform
for everyone else will consist of fining uninsured Americans for not having
private health insurance. That is a blatant violation of the Constitutional
right to privacy of one's health care, as defined in Roe v. Wade and elsewhere.

It is also a violation of freedom of contract between private individuals,
making a small group of corporations a mercantile monopoly over the citizenry.

And all sorts of uneducated people on the LEFT support this bill because...
the yahoos on the right hate it, so it must be a good bill.

Hell, a family member of mine works in healthcare and supports fining people
like me who can't afford insurance but aren't below the poverty line, saying
"you're part of the problem, free riders are why health care is so expensive"
and she's pretty damn liberal. This whole package has been redefined to mean
universal health care: universal = mandated, like private electric and plumbing
monopolies. What does that say about where this country is headed?
