The free market at work

Watch this You Tube video of Representative Stupak asking insurance company executives about their policies on rescinding coverage of people who get sick. This is apparently done automatically by computer in one case!


At the 4:47 mark, Mr. Stupak asks each executive if they will stop the practice and they decline to do so.
On related note, please contact Senator Kerry, ...


...who is on the Senate Finance Committee, and tell him you want a public option included in the health care reform bill.
Senator John Kerry
Phone: 202-224-2742
Email him here
This is the message I sent

Dear Senator Kerry
Please vote for a real public option such as Mr. Markey's Medicare for All or President Obama's plan. These plans will have the ability to drive down costs by negotiating with providers. The so called co-op plan dilutes that ability and will not be effective in providing cost relief. I will be following the vote closely and hope that you will help bring real change and real reform to your constituents.
William Trimble
