Max Baucus, Democratic Senator who chairs the senate finance
committee, is a skank. 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.

Baucus is a skank ?

Well, so are the both of you. But at least you recognise the error of
one of your own.

But it is interesting to see you feeding off each other for once.

carry on.

I agree.. I don't understand how he can even call himself a Democrat. He
doesn't seem to care one bit about his constituents.

Damned funny. If Baucus was a Republican, salmon skank would be all
in our faces about how he's protecting America.
