Reply #22: K& too late to R... I'm not going to add to the frustration by reminding eveyone how Baucus..

[court jester]

had single payer advocates *arrested* at a *hearing*

Nope.

Not gonna do it.

"...Baucus gaveled for order, guffawing, "We need more police." The single-payer movement has taken his words as a rallying cry. At a hearing Tuesday, five more were arrested. They call themselves the "Baucus 13."

One of the Baucus 13, Kevin Zeese, recently summarized Baucus' career campaign contributions:

"From the insurance industry: $1,170,313;
health professionals: $1,016,276;
pharmaceuticals/health-products industry: $734,605;
hospitals/nursing homes: $541,891;
health services/HMOs: $439,700."

That's almost $4 million from the very industries that have the most to gain or lose from health-care reform..."
