Billionaires for Wealthcare

We'll let our friends from Health Care for America Now do the talking on this one:"Billionaires Get It Done: Dollar Throw Sets New Standard in Political Satire

The nation's premier band of merry political pranksters struck again today, showering Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) with real dollar bills in satirical appreciation for the Republican party's mindless obstructionism and advocacy for Big Insurance throughout the health reform debate. The event, staged with military precision by Billionaires for Wealthcare, created iconic images that will almost certainly be used for years to come to illustrate the political prostitution of McConnell and the GOP."





The Billionaires for Wealthcare thank Sen. Mitch McConnell and the GOP for their heroic attempts to kill health care reform by showering him with real cash.

And that money is just a drop in the bucket, with big insurance and allies unleashing a 5 million dollar a week torrent to block health reform. That's dollars from your premiums, going to pay 6 lobbyists for every Member of Congress. (And they still lost!)


While this may be amusing, it raises important issues about allowing lobbyinsts and Big Corporations to govern.
