Helen Thomas to the President: Go Down In Flames for the Public Option
Just Released – Unedited, unfiltered interview with Helen Thomas about the health care debate. With more than 60 years of White House experience, Thomas dissects the interests against a “public option” in the health care debate: “Profiteering,” “Misinformation” and an “atmosphere of hate.”
This interview was recorded on Wednesday, August 19, 2009.
It is so indicative of the importance of this issue to hear Helen say Obama will go down in flames without a public option. She might be accused of partisan reporting but it is so fundamentally clear in this case that there should be no second guessing. Just the simplicity of “foreclosures and evictions to pay for medical bills.” the choice is to stay sick or be homeless? That’s a productive system. God Bless the U.S.A.
