Jon Stewart: Why we need single-payer

[ellenrr]

In this episode Jon Stewart eviscerates Sec'y of State Sebelius, more importantly
he comes out for Single Payer,
and
he makes an excellent point:

Why is Obamacare tackling the issue of health-care reform by using a market-based solution of compelling nearly all Americans to purchase health insurance, instead of implementing a "single-payer" system where health coverage was provided by the government.

"I honestly don't understand why businesses wouldn't jump at the chance to decouple health insurance from their responsibility, and why the government wouldn't jump at the chance to create a single-payer system that is simplifying this garbledy-gook and create the program I think America deserves," Stewart said to big applause from the audience.

1. Sebelius was horrible...

she was totally unprepared to talk about the subject that she was booked to talk about
I hope they do NOT let her on any more shows

2. Kathleen Sebelius is the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

She is the former Democratic Governor of Kansas,
and has never been considered a Liberal by any standard.
She was a member of Obama's "DLC New Team" cabinet.

4. That was a minor point.

I wanted to kick your thread.
The content is much more important (Single Payer) than any minor discrepancy.

It is a a scary realization that the most insightful and informative Political Commentary available in the USA is found on the "Comedy Channel."
