The Real State of our Healthcare

[ProfLogic]

Hey everyone,

This is a fascinating Bill Moyer interview with Wendell Potter, former executive with CIGNA Health care on the real state of Health care in this country. I don't see this as a Liberal/Conservative thing but I think its worth viewing. It's pretty long but extremely informative

Enjoy!

It is one of the few interviews I have enjoyed lately.

Health Insurance companies are one of those rare cases where "final solution" type of treatment could be warranted for its top executives. Some people have no soul. I do believe Obama is making a huge mistake in tackling ANYTHING besides economy and national security right now.

I don't think obama realizes that he stepped into an elevator shaft with no elevator. On his inauguration day I wondered why he is so cool and aloof. The usual explanation was that he is mister cool, but it may be very well that he did not realize what he was signing up for. US is in deep shit and nobody I mean nobody could fix it in 4 or 8 years.

Agree, it is truly and uphill battle fighting rabid dogs bare handed along the way.
My brother is a VP for an insurance company and mirrors the concern on the video.
