From Bill Moyers Journal:
“With almost 20 years inside the health insurance industry, Wendell Potter saw for-profit insurers hijack our health care system and put profits before patients. Now, he speaks with Bill Moyers about how those companies are standing in the way of health care reform.”

Pelosi’s Remarks on McCain’s Latest Tactics:
“In the final weeks of the campaign Senator McCain has intensified his fear tactics by calling one-party control ‘dangerous.’ He certainly did not object when Republicans were in charge of the White House and the Congress for six of the past eight years.
“Senator McCain has also changed his tune on my Speakership. In July, Senator McCain said that I am an ‘inspiration to millions…I respect Speaker Pelosi’ in a role that is ‘in many ways…more powerful than the president’ and that I am ‘one of the great American success stories.’
“The American people are looking for solutions to serious challenges our nation faces. Democrats will work in a bipartisan way to restore the American Dream by growing our economy, establishing our energy independence, increasing access to health care and higher education, and work toward responsibly ending the war in Iraq, all while restoring fiscally responsible pay-as-you-go budget discipline.
“That is why the American people are ready to elect Barack Obama as the next President of the United States and greater Democratic majorities in the Congress.”
