When it comes to the health care debate, it seems every interest group in the country has had its say. But one important coalition that has been silent until now are the nation's billionaires, a small but powerful group that has launched a new campaign to tell the country "Just Vote NO! We Like the $tatus Quo!" According to their website, the Billionaires for Wealthcare (an offshoot of the mildly famous "Billionaires For Bush" coalition) have taken to the streets in recent days to fight for the one thing they believe in: "PROFITS!"
Okay, so this group is obviously using tongue-in-cheek tactics to get across its real message that it believes the current health care system rewards insurance companies and big pharma. But like a good Stephen Colbert skit, their sarcasm may be lost on their intended audience. Watch as opponents of a health care overhaul cheer as the Billionaires drive by.
