VIDEO: French TV commentary on rediculous American health care debate
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 02:21 PM by TwixVoy
Here is a video from a French TV show. This person typically does economic reporting, but commented on the health care reform going on. He hit the nail on the head. Isn't it funny how other industrial nations look at us like clowns and can see the issue more clearly than most Americans? I loved the line about "Americans are trying to frame the issue as democratic versus republican when in fact they fail to realize it's the American people versus giant health care business". Too bad half the country can't figure that out.

I also like how he realized the deathers are doing the work of the health care industry for them in opposing reform.

In Europe they are watching videos of the morons defending big health care and laughing at us.

4. He is on French TV broadcasts all the time
Yes this is his own show, but he is also on broadcast TV almost daily and has a huge viewer base so it might as well be.
