Seems like eighty percent or more mentioned single payer health care. Although the site is closed, I might just write Frontline directly. I loved the comments by the chief medical officer at WellPoint (Anthem, Blue Cross). I guess they consider ADR an unproven, incorrect treatment and I suppose they also consider other medically necessary treatments in the same light because they sure love to deny treatment. The health insurance CEOs and for-profit scheme needs to be exposed like the banking industry was exposed for its greed. After all, the health insurance companies know more than the physicians that are actually taking care of patients.

You will love the video...the comments from the "big wigs" from the insurance companies, like you mentioned, is very telling.

I just checked the link and it works for me. You might have to click the small "play" button instead of the big play button on the video screen itself.

This video is incredible...healthcare in America is changing. The insurance companies are evil and need to be stopped.
