    Bill Moyers shines light on the health
    insurance mess - a Journalistic Best


    The video and transcript link for Moyers' show from last night is here:

    pbs.org/moyers/journal/07312009/watch.html

    Here's Moyer's opening:

    One blogger at the widely read website Talking Points Memo summed up what many had to say:

    "I beg everyone who reads this and clicks onto the link to send it on  to everyone you know. Send it to your congressmen, your governors, your  legislatures, the White House. Get an email chain going--put the link  up on yard signs or billboards. Put it on bumper stickers. Stencil it on tee-shirts or tattoo it onto (sic) your forehead. Whatever it takes.  This is a television event too important to let die... Keep it going."

    Well, it's alive and well, and thanks to this station, you're about to  see it again. The message is even more timely. You heard Wendell Potter  tell us how the industry would try to shape the health care debate as  it played out in Washington over the summer. Sure enough, that's  exactly what has happened. By pouring millions of dollars into lobbying  -- including hiring more than 350 former members of congress and  government staffers and by enriching incumbents with campaign  contributions -- the health care industry is winning again.

    If you have not viewed this latest particular program, it's a must see...

    And let's continue to help Ramona and Moyers take this video viral.

    Again ... Here's the link.
