VIDEO: Olbermann, Ed Schultz, Need for free health clinics grows, today in Hartford, Conn

Ed Schultz attended just one of several free health clinics springing up with volunteer medical help. Today’s clinic was in Hartford, Connecticut. The need is overwhelming! You’ll hear personal stories, some life saving, some life changing. Schultz said he saw the best and the worst of America today. If you take anything away, it’s that it doesn’t have to be this way. Of the thousand people seen, 69% were unemployed, some recently making six figures. Another 39% are underemployed, sometimes working two and three jobs. Why are they still waiting for a free clinic or going without care? Politics, nothing more. Lieberman refuses to consider it. While Obama harangues the House and Senate that we’ve got to finish the job on this, Democrats in both houses worry about how it will look! Will passing reform with reconciliation look like a trick, or heaven forbid..taint future attempts to work with Republicans!
