This evening I have seen the following unverified quote of Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. Kucinich is one of the few who is telling the truth about our health care system. Unfortunately, our media, which should be telling the public these facts, is almost totally corrupt and thus -- yes -- fascist.

Dennis Kucinich in the House of Representatives, according to source:
"Of $2.4 trillion spent annually for health care in America, fully $800 billion goes for the activities of the for-profit insurer-based system. This means one of every three health care dollars is siphoned off for corporate profits, stock options, executive salaries, advertising, marketing, and the cost of paper work, (which can be anywhere between 15%-35% in the private sector as compared to Medicare, the single payer plan which has only 3% administrative costs).
"50 million Americans are uninsured and another 50 million are under-insured, while for-profit insurance companies divert precious health care dollars to non-health care purposes. Eliminate the for-profit health care system and its extraordinary overhead, put the money into health care, and everyone will be covered, everyone will be able to afford health care."
