you should have another category that isn't so restrictive to lame labels like right and left, they're just foisted on the public to marginalize those who carry the torch of truth, hahaha
Add another category for OUTRAGED CITIZEN
Sure doesn't sound it. Just about everything you said is all from the Left wing propaganda book.
We wouldn't need Obamacare if they just tackled the cost of health
insurance by going after the things that inflate it, Big Pharma, and trial lawyers but wait you cant do that they are in bed with the left. They got
through the whole Obamacare thing unscathed.
Out of all the BIG countries you speak of that provide health care which ones are less bankrupt than the US? China and Russia? Out of all the BIG countries, is the quality of health care better than ours? Yep I think I'm starting to see the type of government you would like to see now.
The fact is we are all being brainwashed from the day we enter 1st grade and the process is completed once you finish college. Its just how they do it in China and Russia.
It is up to each person to go out and find alternative news sources that provide both sides of the debate, unlike the media you provided as an alternative.
Diablo,
look for a new documentary called Hot Coffee that blows open the whole tort reform thing, turns out we've been exposed to years of propaganda that's been designed to debase our desire to defend our tort rights. the level of mis-information and the way it's designed to make us believe the way we do...it's just incredible what they've been able to do...for us to even have the level of noise we do about patient's rights...the whistle-blower from the
insurance industry, what's his name, Potter, you surely don't think he's left? come on, there's left hippie and there's big corporations that have bought control of the message
for healthcare around the world...
you really think the current economic situation is any measure of their ability to provide healthcare to all of their people? after we bankrupted the world, and you're talking like that?
wisconsin's public pensions being under water has gotten a lot of bad press, but they'd be in the pink if wallstreet hadn't pulled what it did, pushing bad paper on all the pensions like that. it's not left to be ...... at corporations and how their hand is at work at union busting. it's not left, it's truth.
mountain top mining that's taken over the local political system, corporations union busting all over, workers' rights in foreign countries mimicing our own industrial revolution, but since they own their media they don't get the public outrage, just like they keep a lid on isht

alternate news sources does not mean Fox news, a Maryland University study showed that viewers of Fox news were more "mis-informed" about current issues than any other news source. And if you watch the movie "Out Foxed" as left as you may say it is, it's all true, it's commonly referred to as outright propaganda for the ultra-right wing of the republican party, with no "news" integrity wanted or needed. I really think they just want to show what it looks like for republican's to be on TV, as a brain-washing and recruitment agency. hahaha

the insurance industry's campaign contributions have more to do with that word's existance that you care to know
McDonald's lost some money, chump change to them, in a suit brought by a woman who got burnt by hot coffee, and they got other corporations to get together and make us believe that she didn't deserve to get any money for getting burnt. The mis-information campaign started years ago and is still going on. All she asked for was the money her insurance company would not cover, about $30,000 dollars. And for that and similar cases our belief system has been eff'ed with by corporations for years, and I am upset.
here is what they never wanted us to see, the woman who was burnt by mcdonalds hot coffee (it was the judge who ordered them to pay more than $30,000 for their severely bad behaviour during the trial - it's always the cover up that infuriates more than the act)
TR Reid has studied healthcare systems around the world, and says one big reason our health costs are high is because the insurance industry charges about 16% instead of the 4% they've gotten it down to in the other systems.
the worst thing you can say about those other systems is that they make people wait, but everyone gets the same treatment (except the rich get their private doctors of course, no waiting for them). they do not let people die as much as we do. i'm not talking about China or Russia, talking about Canada, Cuba, France, isn't it pretty much all of Europe now?
everyone, at every stage of the game currently takes profit, so it only follows that if you make it a not-for-profit system you have a better chance of controlling costs...everyone watches Fox news, thinks privatizing is the best thing, but that's just what the corporations want you to think. duh, so frustrating
alternate news sources are not newspapers, network television, or radio, because with media consolidation, only six corporations control all of it, so alternate means from the left or outside, Al Jazeera is not left, are they? They're pro-arab, that's easy to pick out, and pro-Islamist, obviously when they let you listen to four minutes of someone calling prayers, but I wouldn't call them left, they're respected journalists and have a high journalism ethic, and I watch them every day, and they have a way different take which is more down to earth and has less spin than any network television news story I've seen recently.
so, no dis-respect, but even tho i'm frothing at the mouth, you're kind of proving my point.
