From YouTube:

"Kiefer Sutherland is the grandson of Tommy Douglas, a Canadian political leader who is widely considered the father of Canada's public health care system. In 2006, Kiefer recorded a video tribute to his grandfather and his activism, a portion of which is excerpted here.

As someone who has seen both the Canadian and American health care systems up close, Kiefer is a proponent of Canada's progressive public health care system.

This video was not edited to manipulate his words or imply an endorsement of any particular American health care proposal. I included the URL for HealthCareForAmericaNow.org because their plans are consistent with the vision of Tommy Douglas on behalf of which Kiefer Sutherland speaks so passionately and effectively. It's fair to say that Mr. Sutherland would prefer either a public option or a single payer system to the corporate-dominated health insurance regime we have in America today.

I am in no way compensated by, related to, employed by, nor have had this content approved by the Health Care For America Now campaign."

2. oh no! what will those fox 24 viewers do when they see that their hero
has obviously been taken over by obama and the secret brain waves he sends out to turn people into "followers"
