The only guy who can help out Americans with the right health plan is the only guy not allowed to debate it.
AARP to Kucinich: Drop Dead
Counterpunch
Excerpt
AARP President Bill Novelli is a company man. No, the company is not AARP.
Novelli doesn’t give a damn about AARP or its 38 million members.
If he did, he wouldn’t be selling down them down river by opposing a single payer system that would benefit not just AARP members, but everyone in the country.
Novelli doesn’t give a damn about the health of the nation. What he cares about are the health insurance companies.
Novelli a founder of the giant Porter Novelli corporate public relations firm jumped to AARP in 2000. But he never shed his corporate skin.
Case in point?
On Thursday night, AARP will host a debate in Iowa on the issue of health care. Republicans and Democrats running for President will attend.
Of all of the Democrats and Republicans in the race, guess who is the only one who would put the Novelli’s buddies in the health insurance industry out of business?
Guess who is the only candidate among the Democrats and Republicans who would create a Canadian-style single payer, everybody in, nobody out, no deductibles, no co-pays, no in-network, no out-of-network, streamlined system that would save billions of dollars in administrative costs, deliver a higher quality health care system, and cover everyone?
Yes.
And guess who was not invited to confront Novelli’s corporate brotherhood of profit and death?
You guessed it. Congressman Dennis Kucinich.
Why?
Well, Kucinich would put out of business Novelli’s corporate support system including United Healthcare and Aetna.

Makes me wonder how much money is wasted supporting the Health Insurance Industry. It must cost a lot to run all the advertising they put out and the size of their legal departments. What a true waste of money that would be better spent on true health care.
