Glenn Beck segment: Where are the tough questions on health care reform?
Glenn Beck's Health Care Special Transcript
Excellent lineup and review of the Obamacare personalities and policy tendencies involved, including how the 'green' movement intersects with healthcare; in fact, this crew seems to be overlapping every major department with healthcare. This show just repeated, and may repeat again. All should see it to grasp the scope of what may be our reality.
Two segments of this Glenn Beck special on healthcare - How much is your life worth ?
In Part 2, Glenn clearly states: "this show is under a great amount of pressure to not bring you this news."
I can only imagine the threats he's receiving. God bless and protect him and his family. Let your voices be heard.
