Wackydoodle sez, "Still time to sell her some life insurance!"
Wendell Potter, a former insurance industry executive turned whistle blower, is featured in a TV ad produced for MoveOn.org. Mr. Potter tells it straight: without a public option, private insurance companies will not alter their bottom line behavior. He calls the Senate Finance Committee bill, "a dream come true for the health insurance industry" because the proposals being considered in Congress now all contain a mandate for Americans to buy health insurance to achieve close to universal coverage. Of course, the insurance companies will stop at nothing to make sure that purchase is from them. Ka-ching!
