Last night we went to the Cultural Center on the Canisius College campus to see Ed Schultz at a town hall meeting. It was a great discussion on healthcare and the Employee Free Choice Act. Most of the evening was spent on healthcare.

It was a packed house with people from all over western and central New York as well as Canada to voice their concerns over healthcare and why single payor healthcare has not been given more attention in the healthcare debate in this country, especially when it was something that Barack Obama had promised during his run for president.

I got a chance to hit the mic and throw a shameless plug for BBM so if any of you who attended last night are checking the site out today, welcome and feel free to surf around! I will post as much as I can on healthcare until we get the results we need.

As most of you know, I am a physical therapist, I also have a masters in education so I have two perspectives on what is happening with healthcare and education.....This comment by Flabby Man Rush that Ed played last night was the highlight of the night for me (besides getting a chance to speak in front of everyone and voice my humble opinion) because it really says so much about the ignorance of the Republican party when it comes to issues like healthcare.

The first thought that went through my head was if exercise is so bad, we might as well cancel all physical therapy and occupational therapy clinics, sports medicine is bad, and so are athletic trainers. Hell, lets stop any and all professional, college and high school sports leagues because the head of the Republican party thinks exercise is bad, this is a clip from The Ed Show on MSNBC that featured that same clip from the fat ass of the Repukes:
