It's time to put the blame where it belongs - the for-profit health care industry

[Canuckistanian]

All of the major companies are working through Astroturf organizations such as Dick Armey's "Freedomworks" and "Conservatives for Patients’ Rights" to sponsor these town hall disruptions.

And they KNOW their target audience - racist, homophobe, older, WHITE conservatives.

But the root cause of this is STILL the companies themselves. THEY'RE footing the bill for these Astroturf organizations. It's not being done for free, that's for sure.

They COULD call it off, but it's working for them. And that's money in the bank.

If you have someone to blame, blame the health care industry itself.

1. Canuck

Thank you for being honest enough to say WHITE conservatives.

Few are willing to admit that the "I'm all right Jack" is very much a hallmark of White American culture.

2. You never see anything but white faces out there

If you watch the news, you might think this was a white person's battle only.

3. You are right. When I watch the town halls, not enough is said

about that. People yelling - we need private insurance, competition will take care of it, not a public monopoly. Guess what folks, insurance companies are for the most part - monopolies. Or they are yelling - how are we going to pay for this health reform. Well the obscene profits and CEO salaries of the insurance industry would go a long way in paying for it. But as I said - alot of our representatives at these meetings just don't want to talk about that. And the protesters just don't get it.
