Still waiting for Polosie to call them redneck Nazi racists...still waiting..
Tort reform? No?
Jackpot settlements? Runaway malpractice suits driving unnecessary and costly medical proceedures by causing ‘defensive medicine?’
No? None of that? Just BIG FAT SWEATY RICH INSURANCE COMPANY EXEC? That’s the boogeyman talking point I guess.
K.I.S.S. principle hard a work - actual root cause is irrelevant.
Health Care for America Now (HCAN) announced itself in July 2008 a campaign funded with tens of millions of dollars from unions and liberal donors to raise the issue of the lack of health coverage for over 40 million Americans, helping Democratic Party candidates
Health Care for America’s principles were based on the proposal of University of California at Berkeley political scenic professor Jacob Hacker, who’s also advised Obama
major advocacy and union groups are among HCAN’s members including:
ACORN
AFSCME, American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees
American Nurses Association
Americans United for Change
MoveOn
NAACP
National Council of La Raza

A panel of 24 victims of insurance industry abuse and their families told their heart-rending stories directly to members of Congress this morning and asked the lawmakers to listen to the American people and pass health care reform that works for us, not Big Insurance.
Marcelas Owens is spending his 11th birthday telling lawmakers it’s time to provide real health care to all Americans. Marcelas, who lives in Seattle, lost his mother, Tiffany, in 2007. She was too sick to work and lost her job as manager of a fast-food restaurant. She also lost her health insurance. She died of pulmonary hypertension at age 27.
Today’s forum on Capitol Hill, where Congress is debating how to fix the nation’s broken health care system, follows nationwide rallies yesterday, including one in Washington, D.C., where we told Big Insurance that blocking health care reform is a crime.
Members of Congress also heard from Leslie Boyd of Asheville, N.C., whose uninsured son died in 2008 at age 33 after a delayed diagnosis for colon cancer because he could not afford colonoscopies. Boyd’s husband also recently suffered a heart attack after his insurance company delayed approving his doctor’s request for a stress test.

The forum on Capitol Hill, and yesterday’s rally, were sponsored by Health Care for America Now (HCAN), a coalition of more than 100 organizations, including the AFL-CIO and many union affiliates
Excellent Point!
No caption could fully encompass how totally ridiculous, mindless, disgusting and anti-American these people are...they are doing a fabulous job all their own.
Nice professional looking signs & tee-shirts.
Wonder who paid for those?
Darn, too long for a tagline. Just keep repeating every chance we get.
Do those idiots realize that Obama is going to give the insurance companies 30 million new customers who will reap huge profits from taxpayer paid health care insurance? Morons all of’em...

If they actually work I’d like to hear about them getting fired

Whiney union suckhead dipwads.
Where’s my coffee?
People like this woman end up living alone in a tiny house with fifty cats.
Interesting idea...
Union profits: good
Insurance company profits: bad
Isn’t it obvious?
Is that Matthew McConaughey?

The AFL-CIO are learning. Now their slaves are hand-drawing some of their signs.
