Orwell's Avenger - Ii realize that this reply is pretty late relative to your comment and the article but I must comment. I have to wonder what makes a person think the way you do? There are millions of people who keep quiet about things they know are terribly wrong because of their paycheck and benefits. If your salary depends on you closing your eyes to certain things then it's very human to do that - we are after all, defective human creatures.
So Mr. Potter had his eyes opened to the point that he could not look away anymore - and you condemn him for this and attack him for this. Again, your anger at him seems misplaced. What would you have done in his situation? We all like to think that we would always to the right thing in all circumstances - I am grateful that he came forward and wish that many more had followed his lead - it would have made for an easier time reforming healthcare and we would not have had to pacify the insurance companies and their congressional mouthpieces of opposition. Bless you Mr. Potter, bless all the sick and suffering here in the good old USA, and may people like you OA have a change of heart, without having to learn the hard way with an illness for which the insurance giants toss you out. Peace.
