Here is a very powerful and very informative clip from Keith Olbermann, who doesn't pull any punches, as usual. This commentary beautifully articulates what most observors of the issue have intuited about (what is left of) the so-called Senate Health Care Reform bill, which he and Dr. Howard Dean now oppose and say cannot be supported.

Harry Reid is quoted here as saying that the bill constitutes neither health, care or reform.

Dean calls the bill a "bail-out for the insurance industry".

Olbermann accuses the America Insurance industry and BigPharma as being cartels.

He says that the proposed coercive mandate would cost the average middle class family earning around $50,000/year a premium charge of $9.000 (or they would be breaking the law and be subject to fines and punishments) just for insurance company costs that will also require hefty deductibles and co-pays on top of that.

Olbermann calls the plan "Medical mobster protection money" and "immoral and a betrayal of the public trust".

He proposes this logical solution: "Let Lieberman and the GOP commit political suicide" for their roles in emasculating the bill. Let them take the blame for killing true reform and let them incur the wrath of the citizenry for denying the possibility of real reform of the health care system.

"Let Lieberman stagger off the political stage and go work for the insurance industry - which he is probably already doing)."

Olbermann pledges that he will refuse to purchase any mandated insurance even if fined or jailed!

Study the Olbermann commentary above and pass it on to others and then watch the scarey video of the religious right-wing/theocratic anti-health reform group at a GOP prayer meeting in DC. This clip below is from the Rachel Maddow show. Gary.
