Wikipedia While They Waffle Iron

After calling and writing to Senators and Congressional representatives on a weekly basis, I feel a bit like I’m crouching in the trenches, now.  Waiting for the bill to be finalized while reports of Tea Party terrorists threatening Congressional Representatives pour in is obviously disconcerting.

Not knowing, for certain, that the outcome will be -ie- whether or not American health insurance consumers will continue to get gang raped by Health Insurance Companies, is obviously unsettling.

Here’s how I’m managing:  by updating Wikipedia entries on Health Insurance Comanies!

For those of you who don’t already know about my Health Care Reform hero, Wendell Potter (the guy I featured in my Health Care Reform Politiku on Huffpo), I just updated Wikipedia’s relatively benign Aetna entry to include what Wendell had to say about Aetna.  This is because what Wendell has to say provides a considerably more accurate picture of why the bill is so critical at this point in time.

There are plenty more health insurance companies out there on Wikipedia.  Many of them, like Aetna, are not accurately represented, most likely, because their multimillion PR teams are the ones submitting the data.  Anyone can update, though.  Just give the info their PR teams decided to withhold.  There’s plenty out there…

    Good going! Influence the world through wikipedia…

    But, won’t those awful PR people check back and wipe out your info? Does WP lock the various pages? Cuz I know they’re not that staffed, the pages are generally open, and if one naughty PR person gets banned, another can easily log in and get their agenda done…
