Emotional Pleas Tug at Citizenry Heart Strings
According to Nick Cargo – of the BBC on January 25 – a January 19th episode of BBC’s One’s Panorama, the world’s longest running television documentary show, tackles the dismal state of health care in the United States. Of course, it emotionally parses on the lengths to which our estimated [high-side] 45 million uninsured citizens [only 8 million remain uninsured for 2 years, or more] go in pursuit of care, the pharmaceutical industry’s rigged pricing against the American patient, and the insurance industry’s efforts to deny care whenever possible.

According to documentary comments regarding freedom-of-choice in our medical care; “It’s really a system of legalized bribery,” said Richard Kirsch of Healthcare for America Now. “As one congressman says, we’re the only people in the world who are expected to take money from strangers and provide nothing in return.”
Health Care for America Now is a national grassroots campaign organizing millions of Americans to win a guarantee of quality, affordable health care for all. Their goal is to create organizations that can mobilize people at work, at home, in their neighborhoods, and online www.healthcareforamericanow.org
