Health Care CEO's Rake In The Dough. A James Pence Video. Song By Paul Whiteley

James Pence Videos
In June of 2008 I had the opportunity to shoot video of the National Day Of Protest Against Health Insurance Corporations. While shooting the video I was very fortunate to capture Paul Whiteley singing his song "Health Insurance Blues".
Last night I took the audio of that video and attached it to a video of some of the Health Care CEO's obscene salaries. When I started looking at the salaries of some of these jokers, it became evident to me they are riding a gravy train and will fight Universal Health Care tooth and nail to stay on that choo choo!

A press conference was held today just outside of Fort Knox Kentucky for PFC James Burmeister, but the press didn't show up, just a lowly blogger with a video camera. The Hardin County News Enterprise, for what ever reason didn't bother to attend the press conference, who knows maybe they don't work on Saturdays, or could it be they just don't give a shit about folks like PFC James Burmeister?  The Louisville Courier-Journal didn't attend the press conference, but to their credit they did have an article about PFC James Burmeister today.
The local TV stations WHAS, WLKY and WAVE were noticeably absent.
PFC James Burmeister, I was told upon the advice of his attorney, didn't attend the press conference, but his mother Helen Burmeister  traveled all the way from Oregon to speak and stand up for her son.
James Burmeister was injured in Baghdad when his humvee was caught in an IED explosion. Along with the physical wounds from this attack, James suffers from PTSD as a result of his combat missions, which included providing cover fire for "bait and kill" teams.After being diagnosed with PTSD and possible traumatic brain injury, James went AWOL, moving to Canada rather than face another deployment. In March of 2008, he decided to return to the US and turned himself in to the Army at Fort Knox.
Last week the Army decided to charge PCF James Burmeister with desertion. James will face a Special Court-Martial, a bad conduct discharge (which would prohibit him from having access to any medical benefits or otherwise for the rest of his life), and up to 12 months of prison. The date of James' court martial is expected to be set next week.

Americans across the nation demonstrated in favor of guaranteed health care and in protest of AHIP — America’s Health Insurance Plans — the insurance industry lobbyists who profit from our pain and folks in Louisville joined in the protest. I put together the video below to give you a flavor of the protest.
It's sad that John McCain and Senator Mitch McConnell are so out of touch with the needs of the people they are supposed to be representing. It seems that John McCain and Senator Mitch McConnell find it easer to represent the over paid healthcare CEO's than the folks who were out on the streets protesting today.

Americans across the nation will demonstrate in favor of guaranteed healthcare and in protest of AHIP — America’s Health Insurance Plans — the insurance industry lobbyists who profit from our pain. Their annual convention will be met by thousands of protestors onsite in San Francisco and simultaneously in cities across the nation. PLEASE JOIN US In Louisville, Kentucky Humana building, 5th and Main St. Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm.
I plan to be there with a video camera, weather permitting, so you can tell the overpaid Healthcare CEO's and the politicians that kiss their ass what you think.
Politicians that have enough guts to show up and support the protesters are welcome, but I don't expect to see Senator Mitch McConnell Or Congressman Ed. Whitfield at the event, rumor has it they will be in San Francisco.
