3. Weiner highlights
Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 07:02 AM by Phoebe Loosinhouse
"healthcare is not a commodity"

"The health industry sucks 38 billion in profit out" (figure might be different, but you get the idea)

"What value do they add?"

"Medicare overhead 4% - private insurance 30%"

"60% of Americans ALREADY have a government healthcare"

" Pres. Obama seems to be negoiating with himself"


Joe Scarborough is reduced to - "You're against private industry? That's what America is based on!"


EDIT- he is doing one of the BEST jobs I have seen - right out there with Howard Dean. The Admin should let him go out there and be the point man. Joe Cannot keep up with him and he refuses to be led off path by strawmen!

9. AMAZING!! - - They are having a serious discussion of single payer!!
He's calling it a medicare for all plan.. and he's keeping it simple, and he's not getting a lot of push back from Joe..

Is Joe too dim to know he's bucking ALL repug/conserv dogma??

15. Thanks for the heads up! This was fantastic. So far, Weiner has been phenomenal on
explaining how logical /practical a single payer plan would be.

BTW...being a couple of years above 55, I would welcome medicare with open arms. I haven't been to a doctor in over 10 years.
