Will Ferrell Stands Up for the Real Health Care Victims: Poor Insurance Companies

A number of celebrities have banded together to make sure we poor peons in the general public don't forget who would really be harmed by health insurance reform. That's right, insurance companies and their profits.

The satiric PSA by Funny or Die stars Will Ferrell, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Thomas Lennon, Donald Faison, Linda Cardellini, Masi Oka and more, and asks us to protect insurance companies. As many have said, insurance companies are all about the bottom line, and are the real "death panels."

Thomas Lennon: "People are saying a lot of mean things about health insurance companies and their executives and it's gotta stop."

Linda Cardellini: "These great business men are American heroes."

Will Ferrell: "So why is Obama trying to reform health care when insurance companies are doing just fine making billions of dollars in profit?"

Realistically, the serious part is at the end, when the PSA asks Americans to call congress and ask for a strong public option.
