Dan Harper Says:
this is so incredibly dishonest and it is a total sham that PBS pretends to be the voice of the intelligent progressive. John Conyers and Dennis Kucinich 2 of the most progressive democrats in the house say this health care bill is a sham. It is not right wing movements. this bill is simply a way to raid the medicare fund and increase payroll taxes on the worker (not investor). it gives no new rights or even health care at all to the uninsured but helps to work out a deal with the insurance companies. it is a huge corporate welfare program that no true progressive supports. most of all it is NOT single payer health care where everyone has insurance period. clean yourself up PBS you are covered in OIL.
