I completely forgot to post last week...

I'm basing my movie on health care, specifically that whether or not someone lives or dies should not be profit based. I've got a lot of information about people who have been dropped or denied, and died as a result. I also have information regarding the percentage of money brought in by the health care industry that is straight profit (30%, which is more than casinos are allowed to take). I also want to show how much certain members of congress are paid by the health care industry for their support.. which puts into context why there is such resistance to something that the majority of the american people want.


It's a little late in the game, but this is a good resource:

I found this the other day as well...

I wasn't aware that net neutrality was still a current issue. I found it interesting that conservatives oppose health care as a government take-over, but think it's okay for the government and large corporations to regulate the internet. I think it just reinforces the point that money is the controlling factor, not the true interests of the public at large.
