Anyone who's a fan of Keith Olbermann (the MSNBC host of Countdown) is probably familiar with the Special Comment, but for those who aren't, it's usually a part of his show where he devotes between 10 and 15 minutes to giving a speech on a certain topic (torture, health care reform, Sarah Palin etc).

Today (October 7th for those who check it out later), he devoted his entire hour-long show to a Special Comment about health care reform, broken into five parts between 7 and 15 minutes each. 

Even if you're not a fan of Olbermann or think he's a douchebag, it's worth a listen, both for the statistics and the emotional stories.

He's got the right of it.

Not 100% right, but the gist of it certainly.

The problem is the system, not doctors, nurses or pharmacists, but the system that charges $250 for a $4 anti-fungal simply because they can.
