“New Rule: Not Everything in America Has to Make a Profit.”
The political comic’s really been on a roll on HBO:
“When did the profit motive become the only reason to do anything? When did that become the new patriotism? Ask not what you could do for your country, ask what’s in it for Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
“If conservatives get to call universal health care “socialized medicine,” I get to call private health care “soulless vampires making money off human pain.” The problem with President Obama’s health care plan isn’t socialism, it’s capitalism.
“And if medicine is for profit, and war, and the news, and the penal system, my question is: what’s wrong with firemen? Why don’t they charge? They must be commies. Oh my God! That explains the red trucks!”

Bill, I have admired your intelligence for many years. Most recently I enjoyed your film “Religilous” That being said (here comes the big hairy BUT) How can a man of your intellect perpetuate the ideals being put forward by the health care “reform” advocates. Have you seen the right we may very well loose under HR3200? I have listed my concerns in detail here: http://www.sbisvcs.com.blog.htm
the, um, word is “lose.”
Sorry Bill, now I feel like a Lose “er”. Still would appreciate your take on my concerns with the HR3200.
Obama’s plan is a sane one. That may be its weakness.
