Finally,
we have a nice succinct statement from a politician on the
subject of health care coverage.
I know this is controversial, in the sense that, so far, the mainstream
operatives in both major parties reject this. Still, I truly
believe that if most people understood the issue, they would agree with
Kucinich.
Most
of the stated objections are based upon ideological concerns, totally
divorced from any sort of objectivity. That is the case
within the Republican party.
Within the Democratic party, it is probably more accurate to say that
it is concern about corporate influence that leads to the failure to
support the only sensible course of action.
Ironically, from my perspective, the Republicans are being more honest
about it. At least they say what they believe, even if what
they believe is wrong.
The Corpus Callosum
The Corpus Callosum is an occasional journal of armchair musings, by a suburban, reality-based, slightly-left-of-center guy, who reserves the right to be highly irregular at times. Topics: social commentary, neuroscience, politics, science news. Mission: to develop connections between hard science and social science, using linear thinking and intuition; and to explore the relative merits of spontaneity vs. strategy.

A few hours ago a second video was posted on youtube with him speaking for 20 minutes about his and Conyers bill, H.R. 676.
From the reaction of the audience, they understood what he was saying, especially about the insurance companies hold on our system, and they agree with him.

Hear, Hear. Kucinich is the man.
Too bad that universal healthcare is too much of a socialist concept for the US. The US has a notion that Democrats are liberals or lefties. Democrats are just Republicans lite.

I prefer to say the Republicans are heavy Democrats, rather than to think of Democrats as light Republicans, but I know what you mean.

Everything Kucinich said was true, until the end, when he said that "When I'm the Democratic candidate... "
