2. She likely has a lot of stock in the insurance companies...would be my bet. It's been the safest bet for many years, guaranteed above inflation.

6. She's one of those who automatically resort to the "Best health care in the world" meme.
It's bullshit and it's a smokescreen. Tiabbi let lose a string of statistics to let her know the "Best health care in the world" myth is exactly that; a myth. But she'd have none of it. It's clear to me that people like Maria Bartolomo aren't interesting in anything but protecting advertisers on their network and/or protecting their investment in insurance stocks. She literally can give no coherent argument against a public option, only that "American has the best health care system in the world!" Sure it does...IF you already have lots of money, and IF you already have comprehensive health care insurance. We could have health care delivered by angels in shiny castles in the clouds, but if you don't have access to it, you might as well just rely on leeches and home bloodlettings.
These people just don't get it. Or a more scary scenario? They DO get it. They just don't want US to.

3. even more crazy...let's hear from the Wall Street Whore!
"I don't believe in the numbers of uninsured. They are illegal aliens and people living over seas" "Ok, maybe it costs 40,000.00 for sixteen weeks of medications but I don't want the government deciding if I can have them"
Thank you Maria Bartiromo! You are a complete idiot.

11. SHOULD be easy to shut that meme up... "Sure, people come here for treatment.. If you can AFFORD the cadillac treatment.. If you're a Prince or the CEO of a big multinational.. "
Why the hell don't they all get slapped down and shut up?

9. Maria Bartiromo having a chat with Howard Dean
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/howard-dean...
I like how she say's health insurance companies have anything to do with innovation.
I guess she has never heard of the National Institutes of Health and Dean should have brought it up.
Really though what do expect from a person who hangs out with Wall Street CEO's? That they are going to be the voice of labor?
No they will parrot whatever they are told.

10. we do have the "best healthcare system in the world" but-the most people under 65 yrs old in the usa can not afford the costs and others are left out in the cold.

12. Maria is upset because she doesn't realize she is a racist and...un-American and people on the internet keep pointing it out. Maria, the illegal aliens have landed and are taking over the country! Anyone trying to get two tax dollars from you are trying to scam you to get free health care! You're not a racist, classist freak! It's real!

16. What an idiot....
Someone on DU mentioned a couple of weeks ago that she looked like she had just come in from overnight on the streets to do Morning Joke, so I paid attention to her this morning. I hadn't too much before. She may not have come in off the streets but she is a corporate whore. Throughly disgusting comments from that woman; I wish Matt Taibbi had come back to her when she was complaining about other countries government-run health care systems denying needed medications. What does this idiot think that our lovely insurance companies do? They deny procedures, medications, and coverage on a regular basis. How can we win this when these nut cases only care about their money shill for the system and we still don't have good coverage for everyone. To quote Mike Malloy, "Have I told you how much I HATE these people?"
