Reid BETTER NOT apologize!
He's set off a great media frenzy. He needs to throw more gas on the fire.
The attempts to gently coax the system into a more ethical and cost-effective one have all failed. Just as with the emancipation of slaves in this country, the entrenched beneficiaries of these reprehensible "industries" fight bitterly to preserve the status quo.
Reid should tell the media those words and state that not only is his previous comment extremely accurate, steele makes himself the embodiment of the old slave-owners who perpetuated a national, immoral system that allowed unconscionable acts resulting in the death and maltreatment of innocent citizens.
Perhaps mr. steele believes that murder by lynching is worse than murder by denial of medical treatment. Perhaps mr. steele believes that the eviction and disbursement of your worldly possessions to pay for medical bills is slightly more moral than the conscription of people into servitude. Maybe so.
But to be completely unable to see the clear parallels between slavery and health insurance industry shows an mora| and 1ntellectua| bankruptcy that doesn't deserve the dignity of an apology - AND once again proves that there is no credible leadership for the Republican party.
