NPR pointed out on the February 26th 2008 debate that Hillary Clinton said Barack Obama’s health care plan looks like it was written by health insurance companies. There’s additional information on this NPR could have provided.
Has anyone ever seen the movie Sicko? Requiring everyone in American to buy a health insurance policy is just what health insurance companies want–even if the government has to pay for it. It strikes me as odd people don’t see this is just like the Medicare bill pushed through by Billy Tozan. That’s what Hillary Clinton wants to do and what Mitt Romney did Massachusetts. Michael Moore has posted the health lobby campaign contribution info on his web site. Clinton was top and Romney was second last time I checked, but it looks like Barack Obama has moved up to second place.
If you agreed with what Michael Moore had to say about health care, you would have wanted to read up on Dennis Kucinich, but you would never find out about his plan’s or policies from NPR.
That’s what really determines how electable a candidate is–whether or not the media tells you a candidate is electable. Does the media choose to give that candidate any coverage. If you watch Orwell Rolls in His Grave, you find out there is no longer a legal obligation to give candidates equal air time.
NPR mentioned people are concerned about NAFTA, (a law passed by the Clinton’s) but they never mention why:
We have already seen the devastating effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement in Massachusetts. According to conservative estimates, more than 100,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in the last decade alone. Nationally, at least 3 million jobs have been sent offshore, and the wage gap continues to expand.

Our trading partners have suffered, too – with huge increases in inequality and massive displacement. For example, at least 1.3 million Mexican farmers have lost their livelihood under NAFTA. As a result, the number of annual immigrants from Mexico to the United States surged from 332,000 in 1993, the year before NAFTA went into effect, to 530,000 in 2000 – a 60 percent increase.
NPR didn’t mention the war in Iraq, but here’s an interesting bit of information NPR never mentions. Hillary Clinton has received more money from the Weapons Industry than any other Presidential candidate, and that includes Republicans.
For Republicans Ron Paul has received the most money in campaign contributions from people enlisted in the military. For Democrats Barack Obama has received the most campaign contributions from people enlisted in the military. You can Google this and find article after article.
