The Potter interview on last nights journal and you comments, should serve as a warning, to any thinking American. I will make one small suggestion, the "for sale" sign graphic, that your staff, imposed upon the US Capitol dome should have read, not for sale, but sold.

You tied the same arrogance of the Washington Post recent gold-plated retailing of a Health-Care Legislative "Meet and Greet" faux paux and the impact on the tens of millions lavished via lobbyists on the Insurance Industry shills currently filling the people's seats in Congress.

Mr. Moyers, your adversarial position with Mr. Potter, forcing him to address again and again, the distance between, the gold-plated private plane travel world of the Insurance Industry Insider, and the "swap meet" medicine, he "discovered" in his native Tennessee hills.

Mr. Moyers, again you have done a great service, to the American people. Regrettably your program doesn't reach the same size audience, that viewed the widely publicized celebration of a pop singer. The numbers of uninsured which you characterized than larger than the entire population of Canada was a devastating indictment of the Medical-Insurance-Pharma Combine.

Let me draw a parallel, recently scientists have found that a sense of justice appears down the evolutionary ladder to the canine kingdom. Scientist have discovered that a sense of social fairness is understood by the lowly family dog. During repeated experiments performed with dogs, if two dogs undertaking identical behaviors, yet receive dissimilar rewards, the dogs understand the unfairness. ie. [one dog gets dry biscuits as a reward but for the same behavior, an adjacent dog gets steak] the dog which receives the poorer treat will cease performing, obviously understanding the inherent unfairness.

While dogs it seems can understand basic fairness, Insurance Company CEO showed while testifying, before Congress, showed a moral blindspot. They stated they will continue, with impunity, cut off customers, who have the temerity, to request services that they've paid for. Why is it that dogs can understand unfairness, yet Insurance Company CEOs do not comprehend.

So, American Health Care System suffers what for most people, a pre-existing condition of EXTREME GREED, in both the Insurance Companies, and among the Indentured Servants of Industry presently on a moral holiday in Congress. Americans must demand the KEYS BACK from those employees of the Insurance Companies, who presently fill seats in Congress.

Bill Moyers has again performed a remarkable service.
