Keith Olbermann Delivers Hour-Long "Special Comment" On Health Care (VIDEO)

***UPDATED 10/7 9:40PM*** Keith Olbermann delivered an hour-long "Special Comment" tonight on the urgent need for health care reform. Drawing on his personal experiences with the system, especially the ordeal of his father falling gravely ill and being hospitalized, Olbermann describes a decaying system that is failing to fulfill one of the most important priorities we have as a nation: taking care of our citizens.

Olbermann particularly targets the insurance companies, illustrating how their business models are more focused on making money than helping people, which leads to very perverse incentives. The insurance companies are concerned about profit, which is why they're fighting against health reform. Olbermann concludes, "The insurance companies are at war with America."

At the end of the show, Olbermann states that he is going to demonstrate his support for reform by donating money to help the establishment of free clinics in the capital cities of each of the states of the six senators who are blocking reform. He will offer further information on how other can participate.

Keith Olbermann will deliver an hour-long "Special Comment" on health care Wednesday night, MSNBC announced Tuesday.

Wednesday's "Countdown" will be devoted entirely to "Health Care Reform: The Fight Against Death." According to a network release, it will focus on "the need for and meaning of health care reform in the United States" and Olbermann will "propose group action by patients, and how patients can reclaim the debate over health care reform."

Olbermann has, thus far, delivered two "Special Comments" related to health care reform: one, on August 3, slamming members of congress for being in the pocket of the health care lobby; and another on August 10, calling Sarah Palin's "death panel" claims "dangerously irresponsible."Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/06/keith-olbermann-to-delive_n_311125.html
