Keith Olbermann Delivers Hour-Long "Special Comment" On Health Care

Keith Olbermann delivered an hour-long "Special Comment" tonight on the urgent need for health care reform. Drawing on his personal experiences with the system, especially the ordeal of his father falling gravely ill and being hospitalized, Olbermann describes a decaying system that is failing to fulfill one of the most important priorities we have as a nation: taking care of our citizens.

Olbermann particularly targets the insurance companies, illustrating how their business models are more focused on making money than helping people, which leads to very perverse incentives. The insurance companies are concerned about profit, which is why they"re fighting against health reform. Olbermann concludes, "The insurance companies are at war with America."

At the end of the show, Olbermann states that he is going to demonstrate his support for reform by donating money to help the establishment of free clinics in the capital cities of each of the states of the six senators who are blocking reform. He will offer further information on how other can participate. LinkHere

Michele Bachmann: MSNBC Hosts "Stalking" Me... Olbermann Calls For Apology

O"Reilly: "You And Sarah Palin Are Good-Looking Women" Who "Drive The Far Left Crazy"





UPDATE: MSNBC"s Keith Olbermann didn"t think too much of this exchange, and told TVNewser he thought Bachmann owed an apology to men and women who had been stalked.



"Having had an actual stalker myself, I think the Congresswoman needs to apologize to women (and men) whose lives are blighted and ruined by such terror and threat. Not even in the mildest of senses - of journalists whose aggressiveness might verge colloquially into "stalking" - is she anywhere close to being such a victim."
