Senate Hearing on Healthcare Reform a Complete Sham

Let's face it, Senator Max Baucus is a bold faced liar and tool of the Insurance Lobby. Healthcare reform my ass, more like insurance industry protectionism. While stating that everything would be on the table, it was clearly visible that no one representing the "Single Payer" system was invited much less welcome.

No wonder things are so absolutely fucked in regard to this issue. Check out the lobbyist proclaiming that American corporations can't compete because their overseas competitors have "socialized medicine" and then leaving out the fact that of the 150 CEO's he represents, 35 are from pharma and healthcare companies. Companies that stand to make a great deal more money by protecting the status-quo. Would someone with H1N1 please cough up a loogie and spit it in this motherfucker's face?

While we're at it, would some HIV Positive person cough and sneeze all over Max Baucus and his family? Then when when he learns first hand, how little their insurance actually covers (and perhaps more importantly, how much it denies) while Insurance and Healthcare CEOs enjoy record windfalls, we might actually see some sort of real discussion on healthcare reform.

Here's a great video posted on YouTube with more details:
