Don’t be a Chicken: Give For-Profit Healthcare the Boot

Tonight at 8pm on GRITtv a roundtable discussion on the healthcare crisis and what we can do to fix it from the ground up. But first, why for-profit insurance is unfair and ineffective.

“Don’t be a Chicken,” a short video from HealthcareNOW shatters the myths, and there are many, surrounding single payer healthcare. Insurance companies have ferocious appetites and they’ll do everything they can to make the case that single payer health care costs more and isn’t as good. In fact, the opposite is true. If government takes ownership of the cost we’ll all be paying less and receiving better care. So stop being a chicken and give the for-profit health care system the boot.
