We need an advocate FOR single payer, not someone who will go on TV and lie about the condition of our healthcare system. This smooth media corporate advocate is a disappointing pick.

3. I haven't watched Gupta since that aired.

6. He has made off-hand remarks about how "we don't want to be like Canada"

BUT..never has he or ANY teeeeveee doctor ever sat down with two families..one Canadian and one American, and compared the care they each get and the cost to THEM..

Nothing could be easier, but no one wants to do it, because people here would be OUTRAGED.. The Dr. Medias want to perpetuate the myths..

10. I miss Jack Cafferty but not enough to watch the rest of them to see him though

The Ole curmudgeon even read a couple of my answers on air too but thats still not enough

[SoCalDem]

2. He always reminds me of the doctors-for-hire who work for lawyers

they'll say whatever they are asked to say..as long as the check clears.. Much more interesting work, than seeing patients all day long...:puke:

[Warpy]

4. That's pretty much what he is.

He's a talking head who has been out of the trenches for too many years to know what's really going on.

[EFerrari]

5. Yes'm. I used to have to translate for those bastards.

This guy gets a job while Howard Dean is shown the door? F3ck me.

8. K&R

:kick:

[newtothegame]

9. Are any posters here actual doctors who can discount what Gupta is saying?

[madokie]

11. back when he was talking his shit about sicko all what he was saying was shown to be bunk

[newtothegame]

12. So if he was wrong, he was wrong...

It's not automatic lying just because you disagree with it. That's a real easy way to get out of an argument with someone though.

13. Anyone know if Sanjay is related to this Clinton Money Pit named "Vin"?

BILL'S UGLY BUDDY
PAYMENTS FROM SCANDAL-TIED FIRM

EVERY year since he left the White House, former President Bill Clinton has been paid by InfoUSA - an Omaha, Neb., company now identified as a key provider of databases that enable criminals to defraud the unsuspecting elderly.

Senate rules don't require Hillary Clinton to reveal exactly how much - or for what - the company has paid her husband over the past five years. But former presidents - especially Bill Clinton - don't come cheap. And, just months after he left the presidency, InfoUSA paid Bill Clinton $200,000 to give a speech in Omaha. Since then, it has paid him an undisclosed amount each year - listed only as "more than $1,000" for "non-employee compensation" on Sen. Clinton's financial-disclosure forms. (Her latest Senate disclosure isn't yet public, so we don't yet know if the firm paid him anything last year.)

As best we can determine, this is one of only two companies with whom the ex-president has an ongoing, formal relationship.

As The New York Times reported on Sunday, InfoUSA compiled and sold lists of elderly men and women who would be likely to respond to unscrupulous scams. The company advertised lists such as: "Elderly Opportunity Seekers" - 3.3 million older people "looking for ways to make money "Suffering Seniors" - 4.7 million people with cancer or Alzheimer's disease; "Oldies but Goodies" - 500,000 gamblers over age 55. It described one list: "These people are gullible. They want to believe that their luck can change."

Internal e-mails show that InfoUSA employees were aware that they were selling this data to firms under investigation for fraud - but kept on selling the information, even as the scammers used the lists to bilk millions from the elderly.

(snip)

The relationship between Bill Clinton and Vinod "Vin" Gupta, InfoUSA's CEO and chairman, is longstanding and deep.

A frequent donor to Bill's campaigns, Gupta stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom in the Clinton years. He admits donating $1 million to the Clinton Library and in 1999 gave $2 million for Hillary Clinton's Millennium New Year's Eve bash. He has raised over $200,000 for Hillary's Senate campaigns and given thousands to other Democratic funds.

Gupta's company has also been generous to Clinton causes. It was a sponsor of the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative, and of last summer's Aspen Festival of Ideas, where Bill and Hillary Clinton both spoke. It put Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton's longtime money man, on the board of a subsidiary firm, videoyellowpagesusa.com

President Clinton returned some of the favors - he nominated Gupta as consul general of Bermuda and U.S. ambassador to Fiji, but Gupta was never confirmed. In his last days in the White House, Clinton appointed Gupta to the Kennedy Center's board of trustees.
