Former MSM correspondent Linda Douglass now lead propagandist

Which in essence means her job hasn't changed much:

H/T to Michelle Malkin who tells us a little more about who it is that Ms. Douglass works for:

That’s the office of the interest-conflicted White House health czar, Nancy DeParle, whose industry ties have received little scrutiny as the administration convenes secret meetings with health care execs.

Yet another example of progressive projection... using terms like disinformation to obscure and confuse.

how many does that make who transferred from the MSM into the 0bama administration? I know it's quite a few.

Useful idiots.

[Locutisprime]

I saw that on Fox earlier. I would say that these people have no shame, but that would be over stating the obvious.

[Carol Darnell]

Linda Douglass, fearless liar well that goes with the territory, huh!

[Cheryl]

Funny how Ms. Dis neglects to show the video clip on YouTube of Obama speaking before the AFLCIO in 2003 and the SEIU in 2005 stating his ultimate goal is a single-payer public plan ... after he "takes back" the White House, the House and the Senate.

Dear Mr. Burris,
I will continue to oppose the seeming good intentions of the federal government in the area of Medicine. The statistics quoted are suspect at best. Young people opt out of health care insurance plans of free will, the “hidden costs” touted by the studies of take over proponents will grow and remain hidden under your plans. Mr. Obama is in no position to guarantee the terms and conditions imposed by members of Congress. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights is a reference to Medical issues. Any politician with their eye on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can earn my vote regardless of the party afflation. In the spirit constructive debate of I am looking forward to attending any and all of your and Mr. Durbin’s town hall meetings.

Respectfully

Subject: Your Concerns

Dear Mr. Anderson:

Thank you for contacting me about health care reform. I appreciate hearing from you.

As your United States Senator, one of my priorities is to ensure that my constituents have access to affordable, quality health care. Today, nearly 3.5 million Illinois residents, 30.8% of those under 65, lack health insurance. Those that do remain covered face rapidly rising premiums. A Kaiser Family Foundation report found that average insurance premiums have more than doubled in the past nine years, and the New America Foundation projects that by 2016 coverage costs for an average Illinois family could top $25,000 a year.

In the face of these challenges, I support reforms aimed at improving efficiency and access while reducing cost. A focus on prevention and primary care will help Americans avoid getting sick, saving billions on costly specialist and emergency treatments. Providing a public plan option will put pressure on insurers to reduce administrative costs, marketing, and high profit margins. This will result in a higher percentage of premiums spent on treatment, and a better overall value for consumers. Assuring affordable access to health insurance for all will eliminate the $1,200 “hidden tax” that the average insured Illinois resident pays in additional premiums to subsidize expensive emergency care for those who cannot afford premiums.

While these reforms will improve and expand the healthcare options available to the public; they will not force anyone to change their coverage. President Obama has made very clear that the reforms will protect Americans’ right to keep their policy if they so choose, but due to new competition, and better efficiency system wide, the cost of that coverage will go down.

I will continue to listen closely to what you and other Illinoisans have to say about matters before Congress, the concerns of our communities, and the issues facing Illinois and the nation. My job is not about merely supporting or opposing legislation; it is also about bridging the divide that has paralyzed our nation's politics.

Sincerely,

Roland W. Burris
United States Senator
