Guaranteed Healthcare

Well I guess the healthcare apolcalypse is upon us:

Infomercial king Billy Mays, known for screaming about the wonders of cleaning solutions Kaboom!, OxiClean, and other household products, is now starring in a commercial for what he calls "the most important product I've ever endorsed:" health insurance.

That’s right.  The man who brought you the Bloomin’ Onion Maker and the Samurai Shark is now selling health insurance.  

Until we get rid of the health insurance corporations, we can at least fight back, shame them, and force them to do the right thing.

We did with the tragic story of Nataline Sarkisyan.

And now, Kim Kutcher enters the stage.

She’s in full-on patient revolt mode, working with fellow nurses to get the back surgery she needs to avoid a lifetime of disability.  We’ll take a look at what’s happening and why.  It’s an important template that someday might help your friends or family—and ask you to lend a hand, or at least a couple of dialing fingers.

George Bush has spoken: no guaranteed healthcare, not for kids, not for nobody.  Thank you Mr. Bush for putting your unpopularity behind the private insurance sector--just as their "individual mandate" laws in Massachusetts are running into trouble.  Bush's veto provides the single-payer movement with the greatest strategic opening in memory.
