Of course, I already know. The people that are screaming about getting their health care out of the hands of government and "death panels" are listening to the Fox Nuisance Channel & wacky right wing talk show hosts & getting no real facts or honest debate. That's the real story. This has become a war because the corporations that want to keep the gravy train coming their way are spending over a million a day to pump up the lies & the fear to stop single payer or any meaningful change in their tracks. The insurance companies have the death panels, which deny coverage routinely to put more money into the pockets of CEOs & investors.
What a shame that Americans are so deluded or so naive that they allow themselves to be used by the same corporations that are stealing from them & denying them access to decent health care to defeat the best efforts of leaders to take back our rights & our country from these hostage holders. Insurance companies are ripping us all off to the tune of billions & paying scumbags such as Hannity to reverse the moral questions in the minds of gullible citizens who feel powerless & victimized & to blame the wrong people & their own government.
