NC Blue Cross Attacking Obama’s Health Reform – WRAL report
This aired last night. What surprises me most is that NC Blue Cross is still going forward with its plans to attack Obama’s health plan after exposure.

the in-network, out-of-network Rube Goldberg
system we live under.
Corporate media in NC needs to spend an hour discussing single payer like Moyers is on PBS tomorrow night.
[...] notes that news of the company’s ads attacking President Obama’s health care proposals came just two weeks after health care [...]
I plan to write in the memo line of my BC/BS payment: “I support Universal Health Care, you should too.” If enough people did the same I bet it would get their attention.
