I'm thrilled to see that the professor whose views I cited in my entry "For-Profit Healthcare: Nothing Short of Murder" has taken the time to craft a thoughtful rebuttal and posted it here on Tune In. It's quite the essay and will take me some time to research and prepare my own response.
What I know for a fact, and what I posted along with my signature in this petition for a public option, is this:
I am an uninsured, single female who cannot afford to purchase insurance from the greedy for-profit companies. ... I am also keenly aware that even if I paid into an insurance plan for years, if I were ever to get seriously ill or injured, the company would do everything in its power to deny coverage of the appropriate treatment. Please implement a public option so that I can stop worrying!
I refuse to fatten the coffers of health insurance giants with my hard-earned money, when, as Randi Rhodes asserts in her blog, "the way it is now, the only thing that's really insured is insurance company profits."

LOL - Just one opinion...
ReplyDeleteRandi's "profits" are currently "on vacation", possibly outside of the U.S. ....(U.S. Jobs Hero, Randi?)
Rhodes is on her 16th minute of fame, perhaps rotting on the (Howard) Vine.
She's RICH
We are NOT
Randi cares about Randi. Period.
