Ellison: ‘Corporatists’ are working to sabotage public option

That’s why we elected him. Right on! Go Keith!

I have to express my gratitude for Ellison’s leadership on this important issue.

The health insurance companies are most certainly a dangerous cancer on the health care system in this country–extraordinarily inefficient, abusive of customers, and one of the primary roadblocks to systemic cost control.

Question: how many more Americans must declare bankruptcy due to medical bills just so health insurance executives can maintain their princely lifestyles?

Thanks Keith for fighting against the Plutocracy in this country. We need the Public Option NOW!!!

Health insurance companies no longer serve any purpose in our country and they should be taken over by the US Government.

The Federal Government then can give us Single Payer Health Insurance and we can all have free health care – just like it should be.

Mr. Ellison, go do the job we sent you to Washington to do. Get us the Single Payer coverage and shut down those evil capitalistic insurance companies!

Go repubs on killing this b/c I GUARANTEE the government will drop the ball on this like everything else they get involved with.

Go progressives. I’m afraid this won’t get pass those conservatives AKA Blue Dogs. They are the ones in the party that receive money from corporate America to vote No.

Yeah, it’s amazing anyone lives after 70 with that terrible socialist Medicare, they’re just killing people with neglect.

Even worse, Medicare isn’t creating any billionaires. That’s un-American!

Dano,

So, I assume you also think that the US military is a disaster, along with NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the EPA, etc.?

In your world, is the government metaphysically incapable of functioning well?

Eric,

I stand by what I said, being previous mil I saw the waste of now useless bases around the world, NASA was headed by an incompetent (Jensen(sp?)-see “global warming”) and the EPA now wants to rule beyond their authority.

In YOUR world, THINK before you speak grasshopper. Metaphysically speaking people like you are a diversion and nothing more.

bu-bye…

Dave, thanks for not being educated on the poor financial state of medicare. I’m all for helping people, but please use some valid reasoning. Amatuer.

WOW a whole 9 comments……I came here, as suggested by a friend, probably won’t be back.
People who “assume” ignore facts. The very tiny 5%-15% supporting the public option spend their lives living off the government. Well that SAME government is about to give you all an unhealthy dose of what you deserve, namely a clue! I will admit for generations WTP were convinced that politics were just “too complicated” for the average “joe/jane” BUT it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out “just because you have checks left at the end of the month doesn’t mean you have money!” You can not spend what you do not have without consequences!
Just because that’s the way it WAS does not mean that’s the way it WILL be, and WTP have had enough!

Ellison is a HAMAS supporter, a terrorist fund raiser and it baffles me how you guys can even have him still in his seat, oust him out.. England.

Go forth and spread the good acts and deeds among you.
Lead with WISDOM and you will all benefit.
A national health plan with universal standards and services
will benefit the poor and rich alike.

Make it so.

Wow, greenwashing at it’s finest. Using terms that Ralph Nader used. Corporatists. Corporatists destroyed the Single Payer option. Including most of Keith Ellison’s buddies like Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar but most importantly Barack Obama. That is the real truth but do not expect to see articles on this perspective in the Minnesota independent or at Take Action Minnesota functions. however, some are building something that will provide the public with an alternative viewpoint. Free of corporatist and militarist apologists.

I understand EXACTLY what Green-washing is.. That is the problem here.

It is a corporate entity that promotes itself as being environmentalist or “progressive”. BP and it’s commercials are a perfect example.

I suspect that it is you who does not understand what green washing is. Or more to the point, when a political party has some “progressive” who is touting the line of standing up to the corporatists and plutocracy while actually doing their bidding..

Keith Ellison and the issue of Single Payer (or the wars or…..) is another picture perfect example..

This is a very direct challenge to those “progressive” media and/or groups who refuse to give space to the dissident voices in our nation. Those who are not corporatist and militarist apologists..

WOW…you people should move to St.Cloud…between the prison and the pedophiles you’ll find something that meets your intellectual needs!

Please stop picking on a congressman who has the courage to tell it like it is. There is no good arguement against the public option other than corporate profits would be lessened.
