Everything negative about health care services that is being said now via the media is nothing but big pharma propaganda. We all know that. The vast majority of Americans want a health care system of any kind. Out of control capitalism has only itself to blame for eradicating the saner, lower-cost system we once had. It has a lot of guts trying to destroy the necessary corrective measure it alone made necessary.

Those "town halls" are now pseudo-ad hoc propaganda soap boxes. Their garbage could never cancel out what we all have already experienced -- at least one loved one who died because they didn't have insurance. Let them terrify people with all their ludicrous crap. It won't cancel out my 48 year old friend Harry who died because his very treatable heart condition went undiagnosed.

For a more balanced perspective of US opinion/reaction, I'd recommend watching clips from most of the shows carried over our MSNBC which is a sane, progressive network -- Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow in particular.
