Public Option Annie
Comedy (Politics), Docs & Non-Fiction (Health, Politics), Music (Musical), Viral (Flash-mob)
[ 9:08 - from YouTube ]
The satiricial group Billionaires for Wealthcare have taken their satire of health industry greed to the next level, out-doing a flash mob, a parody musical, or a protest in one ambitious new viral video: "Public Option Annie". The musical number is performed at a conference for AHIP, American Health Insurance Plans, the leading force against the public option in health care reform. Smart, informative, confrontational stunts make such an impact in our times, and videos like this keep people on their toes.
