It's been mystifying to watch him position on behalf of the insurance companies when his own constituents are clearly in favor of the public option. Guess what? The scumbag is bought and paid for, like most in congress. I'm a Democrat and I cannot abide this bull****. Here's a little piece detailing Bill Moyer's recent broadcast about Baucus' little healthcare cabal. BILL MOYERS: You know from the news that early next week the Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote on its version of health care reform. And therein lies another story of money and politics. Polls show the overwhelming majority of Americans favor a non-profit alternative -- like Medicare -- that would give the private health insurance industry some competition. But if so many Americans and the President himself want that public option, how come we're not getting one? Because, the medicine has been poisoned from day one, in part because of that same revolving door that Congresswoman Kaptur and Simon Johnson were just talking about. Movers and shakers rotate between government and the lucrative private sector at a speed so dizzying they forget who they're working for. SEN. MAX BAUCUS: Our plan does not include a public option. BILL MOYERS: Take a close look at that woman sitting behind Montana Senator Max Baucus. He's the Democrat who's the Chairman of the Finance Committee. Liz Fowler is her name. And now get this. She used to work for WellPoint, the largest health insurer in the country. She was Vice President of Public Policy. And now she's working for the very committee with the most power to give her old company and the entire industry exactly what they want: higher profits, and no competition from alternative non-profit coverage that could lower costs and premiums. I'm not making this up. Here's another little eye-opener. The woman who was Baucus' top health advisor before he hired Liz Fowler? Her name is Michelle Easton. Why did she leave the Committee? To go to work -- where else? -- at a firm representing the same company Liz Fowler worked for WellPoint. As a lobbyist. It's the old Washington shell game. Lobbyist out, lobbyist in. And it's why they always win. Hopefully nomdeplum will read this and realize where the damn problem lies. Must be women drivers... lol Damned funny. If Baucus was a Republican, salmon skank would be all in our faces about how he's protecting America. Herring obviously has problems with women. Serious problems. -- Birther-Deather-Tenther-Teabagger: Idiots All |
