Hats off to the Corporate PR Firms….

Healthcare “reform” could go either way:

1.) It could provide free or affordable heathcare to all citizens

Or

2.) It could increase the profits of the health insurance and drug companies

The devil is in the details. And right now, it’s looking like corporate lobbyists are succeeding in modifying the legislation their way. This should be no surprise – anyone who has followed politics for the past 30 years knows that most legislation is written by the lobbyists.

But this time should have been different. People are actually interested in their healthcare and these townhall meetings should have been an opportunity to educate your fellow citizens and to hold your legislator’s feet to the fire.

Should have. But instead, thanks to the Astroturf townhall meeting disruptor operation, legitimate anger about selling out healthcare is now conflated with batshit crazy questions about the government euthanizing Grandma.

Controlling the debate and moving the discussion FAR to the right. It’s their specialty.
