Kinda related video of a protest I found delightful to watch!

I just got around to watching this all the way through. It's Olbermann, so you gotta really use your OWN brain to get through his impassioned pleas instead of taking everything at face value (a distinction, I believe, that separates Olbermann watchers from Limbaugh watchers!)

However, I don't disagree with him and its a reasoned argument. I watched my aunt die and my family bear the burden of her massive, crippling medical bills for many years after. My grandfather had to come out of retirement - at age 70 - just to keep our extended family afloat and help pay off the hospital bills of his only daughter who he buried years before. 

And then I found out that it's laughable to go bankrupt paying for medical care in other, advanced democracies around the world. It's an anomaly, completely unique to the US. We have the best care in the world. But we also have the vastly most expensive. Sick Around the World, a PBS Frontline documentary, dives into how other countries provide healthcare that is both universal and cheaper. It's eye-opening. As one reviewer of this documentary put it: 

A non-ideological look at different approaches to health care. If you are one of those rare people who likes to have some knowledge on a particular topic before forming an opinion, this can be a good first step towards educating yourself on health care.

I recommend we all go get a bit of education on this.
