are good news on health care
uh... first all bomb up is activating his
troops if you will
he's seven uh... organization of course
that helped him elected and detect a lot of the emails then infrastructure and
now
electric leftover campaign arms called organizing for america
and he is uh... mobilizing those guys
uh... to moved forward on health care reform east etc in a call for that and
he said
to some of our innocence he said look this is now or never we gotta get health
care reform this year
began we're not gonna
put this further down the road we're not going to make compromises on when this
gets done now within
of this
deal they can struggle for soviet compromises
but we can't compromise on the timing of it
otherwise we'll lose momentum and it's not going to happen
so the fact is that serious about it and mobile icing
that base
is a very very good sign
we move over to the senate
well they are the people who got to get moved on this issue
but the reason you mobilize outpaced the second associate of yours
to get some deals dot
because a lot of the senators are reluctant including salute op democratic
senators and says the democrats controlled the senate
reluctant democratic senators are
will be crucial now
first max baucus
uh... is a pic realplayer health care reform he's a democrat of montana
he has said look uh... public health care option makes sense and word deftly
open to that and one include that
as at the soonest possible
that's very very good news
now what are my hero quit with the public health care option s
and why i think it's so critical
this is a option where the government says why we're gonna provide
at health care plan tomorrow
that you want to get private health care realistic without jerry have outbreak
fantastic stick with it
or u wanna get a new health care whether through this you through your employer
or on your own
no problem problems go for
but what about your option here
but if you like this option better
this public health care option being go with that
now we're gonna save some cost there because
we're gonna do
evidence-based testing as uh...
of what was excellent figure out what
healthcare
options work the best which was don't work the best
get some officials here number two we're not gonna spend any money on sales and
marketing
and we don't need to make a profit
so we received it
least twenty to thirty percent right there at allowing us to have
uh... cheaper drugs
you know tenncare yet patients etcetera etcetera
so it seems like a very very good option
it seems like it might work
about why a lot that is still for one
it might just simply show
but that is the more efficient way to go and that this whole infrastructure we
have
where the pharmaceutical pennies in h_m_o_s
and all the health care companies make tremendous profits
doesn't make any sense
and it's wasteful
and that's why we are very inefficient health care we pay the most
but don't get a scooter results there's a lot of the european
and other developed countries
we might find that out in which case hey look we several public health care
system
that actually works
or number two we might find that hey
here are the problems with the latest thinking that poverty up there
option inherit anything market ticketed couldn't compete
with the private health care companies
but in that competition to make the private health care companies batter is
that what we want we want competition
what a free market want capitalism
i think it makes perfect sense
and if you don't have it
they don't have the center for the private health care companies to improve
any continued overcharge and they continue
the inner border waste as they are now
and we don't more people are not covered
and we continue to pay higher and higher rates
so that's why i put forth his critics so that we get to
uh... senator that makes are a lot of different senator ben nelson
probably the most who served in a cramped inside he's from uh... nebraska
earlier if you try to put together a coalition of democratic senators who
would be against the public health care option to kill them
part of the reason is a lot of those uh... healthcare companies are based in
nebraska
and they have paid ben nelson
billions of dollars
into his campaign
uh... before stands as is this something you want to protect those jobs as well
so he's got a legitimate and some of you legitimate reason
for doing so
uh... for supporting the self-care industry
the good news was he couldn't get any of the other democratic senator joyce
coalition to kill this option
that was a really
now we find out that in a private meeting he told
uh... and number of representatives
of the public interest groups and some companies as well
hey you know what
i mean he s wait on this and i might commit anime open to and i might
consider
of public health care option
that is very very good news as we need every democratic senator on board to
make it happen
is of course the republicans will try to block it with a filibuster
and they get exceedingly difficult
begins reform through wife is of course
there in the back pocket
of the healthcare industry
afi radically fit republic actually cared about the free market system
a problem of public health care in fact it's a fantastic
more comfortable competition
will make this industry bat
of course that's not what they're interested in their interest in the
paychecks they get
from the pharmaceutical and
healthcare companies
if
if if this is really the direction we're headed in
that feel very good about it because they're positive development
