The big insurance companies are lying to the public and turning out right-wing zealots to town halls to yell and scream and incite violence. It's time to take back the terms of this debate. It's time to show America what these insurance CEOs really are: billionaire rip-off artists who are amassing fortunes at the expense of the health and security of working Americans.

Robert Greenwald appears on the Ed Show to talk about http://sickforprofit.com/">Sick For Profit, a Brave New Films campaign to expose the greed of big health insurance companies.

Here's another appearance he made on MSNBC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICDKY5CwexA&e

Sick for Profit's video "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKI9be55N00">Fight back against health insurance lies" has had 108,162 views so far.

1. It is not only the insurance companies, it is the hospital
corporations that exist for the purpose of profit. They are greed mills. Patient care is not the priority. Making money is the priority. It is so beyond my comprehension that so many Americans fail to understand this.

4. They are victims of propaganda.
For decades they've been fed the line that only the free-market system works, while simultaneously being manipulated by images of poorly-lit, windowless halls, full of the moaning sick bleeding all over the floor, which is what we'd get under socialism. Furthermore, the level of education in the U.S. has been on a downward spiral for some time now. Many people lack the mental tools to sort through this issue.

2. Someone knows how to hammer those talking points - Obama should be talking this talk

Instead of meeting them in back rooms, he should be out challenging these thieves...
