Rescission - Why We Need a Public Option



NPR covers a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105680875ps=cprs"the span style="font-weight:bold;"real death panels that we already have/span... those that are run by private insurance companies./a How do they do it? Through rescission....a process that allows insurance companies to abandon patients when they need coverage the most. br /br /Why isn't Obama telling these stories more often? Why won't he hold a national Town Hall on Healthcare Reform where he can highlight the real death panels, and dispel the Republican propaganda? The major networks have barely mentioned this issue. The fake death panel story put out by Right wing groups gets covered...but the fact that we have actual death panels right now hardly gets any attention from the major news networks. Unreal!br /br /Also hear a story about what Canadians are saying about U.S. Healthcare Reform. Apparently, a href="http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2009/07/24/03"Canadians are bewildered about the way their Healthcare system has been characterized by Republicans./a Again...the major U.S. news outlets aren't telling this story. Instead of sending investigative reporters into Canada to find out what is really going on.... to find out what the people really think about their Healthcare system, the lazy U.S. media chooses, time and time again, to use Right wing talking points as the baseline for any Healthcare debate. It has basically been accepted as fact in this Country (according to U.S. mainstream media) that the Canadian Healthcare system is far worse than the Healthcare system in the U.S.br /br /span style="font-weight:bold;"Separate Fact from Fiction:/spanbr /br /Dispel the Right Wing/Corporate propaganda about Healthcare by keeping track with fact finding websites such asa href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/subjects/health/?page=1" Politifact/a and a href="http://www.factcheck.org/"Factcheck.org./a br /br /Both sides get their information mixed up or bend the truth.... but the Republican spin machine simply has no shame.... they have been lying their asses off, especially on Healthcare...and their lies are so outlandish that it scares me that there are American citizens who have fallen for this stuff. A large portion of the American populace is incredibly uninformed.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21083673-5488433416627592693?l=mirroronamerica.blogspot.com'//div
