Sigh Just plain stupid.

Highly recommend the documentary below. The story of how today’s market-driven medical system gives Wall St. investors life and death control over our healthcare, turning medicine into a profit machine instead of a social service to meet human need.

More propaganda from the right wing media like PBS.

PBS - our tax money at work - on behalf of leftist causes!

how would you two paragons of open-mindedness know it’s propaganda if you don’t bother to watch the documentary or read the published book it was taken from ?

oh, that’s right …. I forgot there for a minute that GNW knows all and is quite sure he need never bother to explain his reasoning nor provide his sources …

From BCS who will never watch Fox or read Murdoch.

i watch Faux, as I’ve said many times.

Why do you choose not to provide sources or links for information you report when I and others ask?

BCS

You don’t believe anything you see/read at Fox/Murdoch because they are conservative and therefor by definition lie. But the rest of the MSM you do read and believe but they are not liberal. See the internal inconsistency?

I do watch / listen to PBS often, so that I know what the enemy is up-to, and since I have low blood pressure, it helps that too.

I used to enjoy Bill Moyers’ intellectual banters. But he became so rabidly liberal of late that is beyond the pale.

GNW,

Why do you choose not to answer questions put to you and expect others to answer your questions?

Why do you choose not to provide sources or links for information you report when I and others ask?

peter, the documentary was made independently, from a published book. It was shown on Moyer’s program, it’s not Moyer’s “intellectual banters.” It’s truly worth watching with food for thought.

bcs: Thanks for the link. From the doccie: “We live in a society not just in an economy.” -Rashi Fein

It’s a great link, bcs. GNW, as someone in the medical profession, you really ought to check it out. It’s about doctors, and focuses on what doctors experience.

PBS actually aired that? I’m surprised. When they had a piece on Healthcare around the world they edited out a segment that stated that for profit companies in primary healthcare are not found because it was illegal. And because of that these countries enjoy the benefits of government run healthcare.

But they took that part out and with it the withdrawl of the person’s name who put it together.

For those who want to see it the name of the program is Sick around the world by T.R. Reid.

The Insurance guys are bad because they increase office expenses while trying to avoid paying but they are not incompetent. The Government steals money from the plan and increase expenses while trying to avoid paying and they are incompetent.
