MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan shouted down Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) after she couldn’t answer why insurance stocks have increased since major reforms have been stripped from health care legislation.
The health care reform bill “does very little to bring real choice and competition to the insurance market place,” explained Ratigan. “It does very little to reform the insurance monopolies. It does very little to create more choices for everybody in America for their health care but at the same time it mandates that everybody in America face penalties if they don’t buy health care.”
“The result of that has been the following,” continued Ratigan. “You know the monopoly scenario. I want you to take a look at the insurance stocks in this country on news of the creation of millions of new customers but the bill doesn’t reform the monopoly structure.”

OPS: Good on Dylan! Debbie keeps drifting back into talking points (like she’s seen republicans do) and Dylan keeps reeling her back to the question.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
