Great Job blacken another super lib douchbag...Moyers.



the cost of living is horrible and I'd either have to live on one of the Posts or live an hour away and do the train thing..i can't do it man. I'm trying to get to Tampa, I can rent a good sized house with a pool and still bank 600 plus of my housing allowance.


Being a Repug 'Capitalist' is quite a tough job.  ;)

Mons - you have a demented obsession with HH6.  Sort of like you are jealous or resentful of him or something like that.

BILL MOYERS: So why are you speaking out now?

WENDELL POTTER: I didn't intend to, until it became really clear to me that the industry is resorting to the same tactics they've used over the years, and particularly back in the early '90s, when they were leading the effort to kill the Clinton plan.

BILL MOYERS: But during this 15 years you were there, did you go to them and say, "You know, I think we're on the wrong side. I think we're fighting the wrong people here."  


WENDELL POTTER: You know, I didn't, because for most of the time I was there, I felt that what we were doing was the right thing. And that I was playing on a team that was honorable. I just didn't really get it all that much until toward the end of my tenure at Cigna.

I get a 2000 square foot house, a pool and a big back yard and I get to bank 600 bucks...which I can then invest, roll around naked in or do anything I want...while u will still be gay and retraded. Again..whats it like not to matter.

if he has a family and a few kids you're most likely correct

or he might just be able to afford a plan with a very high deductible

I know many people who pay $1000+ a month for insurance which they basically can't even afford to use

I don't get the eye rolls?  Is it shocking that someone would justify to themselves what they're doing?  I'm betting that's not a rare quality in people.  I'd say the rarity is someone who walks away out of ethical reasons.

You don't actually think the insurance companies are innocent in all this do you?

Nah, I don't. I was referring to the fact that he grew a conscience after he reaped all the rewards. Nothing new but always amusing. But hey, at least it only took him 15 years to figure it out.
