    We need police that will arrest these our lawmakers! They accept bribes from the ones that do not want us to have health care. As seen in this clip they lie to the American people and accept PAC money form the insurance companys. They do not care what is best for us. It is time we demand our leaders do what is best for us. Not what is best for the insurance companies. Where is our leader and the transparent government he talked of? We must stop our lawmakers that take the bribes and vote against the American people in favor of greed..

    When our lawmakers start arresting citizens that speak out we are in trouble. We must work together to regain control of our country and stop the greed that is in control today.

    Damn three comments and two are mine?? Where did everyone go all of a sudden??  Heath care is in trouble the main contention is it will cost too much. While just passing a 3/4 trillion military budget. Also continuing the war over seas. I say pull out tomorrow and quit wasting 10 billion a month paying off contractors. But our lawmakers continue to receive contributions from the ones that have reasons to continue our misery and enslavement. From what I have seen the war on US (drugs). Will claim over one million this year. Wasting another 100 billion on this war where no one wins.  Yet the for profit  jails lobby our leaders to continue the war so they can increase their profits. And kick back more to our lawmakers.

    Our country is at a crossroads our leader wants what is best for all people. But the ones raping us want more, and our leaders are voting to allow them, for money. If you cannot see this trend you must be blind. Or perhaps living 6o years has given me a wisdom beyond youth. Never the less we must demand universal single payer heath care. A plan that does not include the private for profit insurance companies. If we do not we may suffer for years to come. We must push, demand, let our feelings be known. Yell out the window talk to people you meet you know. We must take our country back from the corporations that are in control. Step one to me is stop our lawmakers from accepting or becoming million airs from the bribes used to control us..

    I didn't know this was here! I was just wondering why this clip isn't getting more play with Baucus' incompetence glaring at the American people. Sometimes people are pretenders, are incompetent, AND are bought by special interests. I think we have us a TRIFECTA in Baucus. This should be on Huff Po and Rachel Maddow as a refresher. The media buried this right after it happened. Shame shame.
