"DISINFORMATION"

[piglettetoy]

DISINFORMATION

Disinformation is disinformation a year later.

Bull is bull.

Time for REAL leadership

[reveleoc]

QUIT BITCHING

[reveleoc]

HEAL YOURSELVES

[ch1aka2]

The Republican leadership in this country is evil.

[mocahaj]

Just politicians saying words, a total waste of time.

[twisted45]

americas healthcare insurance reform was written by the insurance company not democrats!

[Callhermaam]

Google this: Was Democrats healthcare strategy written in federal prison? The guy who wrote the blueprint for conning the public into accepting gov run healthcare spent time in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion. Robert Creamer's 10 points for conning the public into accepting gov healthcare are listed in this article. Creamer was attending the same White House dinner as the party crashers. This is today's bombshell news from big government . com

[BSD2000]

Look, before you can 'spread the wealth' you first need to have an economy that generates that wealth. No wealth = nothing to spread around. Real simple, right?

Instead of worrying about how, when, were we are going to 'spread the wealth', we should first worry about how to create 'it' in the first place. In simple terms, it's like putting the cart in front of the ox.

Obama needs to spend more energy on how to create wealth and less time on how to tax, borrow, and spend our nations wealth.

[DungbeetleXL5000]

Another thing Herbs... you spew all this against government, saying that the free market is the way to go with health care, that people choose to not be insured, etc. Havent you been listening at all? Its about people who PAY for insurance but are DENIED claims so the insurance companies can MAXIMIZE profits. WTF... pull your head out. Before you demonize Gov health care, tell me why so many other countries havent dropped it yet because it failed....thought so.

[DungbeetleXL5000]

herbs814: You dont trust the government to run health care? But you trust them to put your house out if its on fire? Personally, I dont trust the profit - driven insurance companies to run health care. I am stunned so many people - other than those who benefit financially from the health insurance companies - are against this. You worry about throwing money at a problem we are already throwing tons of money at and its just going into CEOs' pockets as "profits"

[klbflorida]

Tired of this LIAR? see Mike Rogers (R) response on youtube.

[part2themovie]

Obama is into disinformation but this video is all about prestidigitation. none of this shit matters AT ALL. wow, wtf am I? dumbass humans please prove me wrong because if im right we're all pretty much fucked.

[mllbll]

i'm from canada...there are a few problems with the UHC......but they outweigh the problems, and there is also the fact that if you do think the UHC sytem is taking too long you can just go find a private hospital somewhere else, and tht solves the problem

[LLORT3]

jesus would be for UHC

[part2themovie]

jesus was into preventative care and second chances so i guess you're right. i love where the world is headed, i just wished it would collapse in my lifetime.

[LLORT3]

i agree i hope the world collapses and we come to a more enlightened state where wealth is distributed evenly and there is no fighting

jesus was a liberal socialist like me! :)

[jumpnjil]

If and when the world collapses, there will be no money to pay for what you have been accustomed to. If wealth is distributed, so is working for it, think about it. You won't be getting something for nothing anymore. I'm all for everyone working, might even change my mind on wealth distribution, as long as one person doesn't do any more work than the next.

[LLORT3]

i don't like the idea of work

[jumpnjil]

Do you even know Jesus? Do you have a personal relationship with him? Do you even believe in Jesus, or just use him because you think it might have some weight when used against those who do consider them their saviour. Don't say what Jesus would do unles you profess him to be the center of your life, it's sacriligious.

[LLORT3]

i don't care about religion

that's why i'm a Christ follower

i just support the things he did, like peace and socialism

[5hr3w3d]

2007 - Transition to Single Payer through whatever he can get passed now.

All he needs is the framework. If you like the government telling you what care you can get, you have that option now with Medicare and Medicaid. If you don't, you have the option to speak up NOW, and fight against what is being forced on America.

[MrMindfucker]

I want a goverment health care plan...

[herbs814]

If you want a government healthcare, get out of the US. The US is for people that value freedom, not those who become slaves to government.

[herbs814]

Government healthcare is Anti-American. If you're suicidal enough to trust the government with your health, get out of America and spare us your lunacy. Do not force your insanity on responsible Americans.

[tobiashimself]

Yay Quotes-Taken-Out-of-Context-Fr­om-Eight-Years-Ago!

I see a lot of comments about Obama being in cahoots with business, but what about the 'government takeover' talking points guys? Maybe you're confused?

[herbs814]

Obama is a dirty, rotten liar.

[evramos70]

They are using Union Nurses to spead their cancer.

[Cryptechsvids]

Watching this video I feel like Winston in 1984. Which reality do I believe?

[athenalong]

obviously you cared enough to reply.

assclown.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

How does it feel to be a loser?

Imbecile.

[athenalong]

I have no idea how it feels.

Care to share?

[NAGGERNUTZ]

I thought you'd fill us in, since you're in the habit of making dumbass comments.

[athenalong]

Sorry. This back-and-forth and you are beneath me and sooo not worth my time. It's not fun anymore.

You may go back and continue to make your incessant inane/schizo/racist/classist/a­geist/mysogynist comments now freely, for I plan to leave you be.

Oh, don't forget to take the dick out of your mouth first.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Thank you. Yes, please go. Back to the basement.

Oh, and the dick isn't in my mouth it's in your mother. Son.

[wpaulsen1]

but if the government gets involved our Healthcare will go down the crapper just like Canada's and Europe's

[wpaulsen1]

Thats why europeans com over to the good old USA for good healthcare Europe's Healthcare suck and your own government admits it but doesnt know how to fix it. Insurance companies r what keeps hospitals open only around 96 cents of every 3 dollars pays medicaid bills and only about 80 cents for every 3 dollars for medicare the only way to make money is for Dr's to charge private insurance companies extra to make up the difference so I would say Im already paying for other peoples medical

[theshogun1983]

Take sentences out of context,attach them together,et voila' "disinformation"!The title refers to the video itself rather than to Obama.

"Eliminate coverage?"yes it's called public health care,it's what we have in Europe and it works much better than giving money to insurance companies,that acting as intermediaries,don't add value to the system.

U are paying for something that should be free,u are letting people die 'cause they aren't rich.Don't u expect more from the "best nation in the world"?

[drlax15m]

how are the sound bites they used out of context? do tell...

[MrNeroBurns]

Here is an Idea. Why don't you guys fix the fraud in Medicaid and Medicare first. Budgeting 80 BILLION DOLLARS to ALLOW for fraud is NOT fixing it.

Then do something about the 25% illiteracy rate in Public Schools before you tell us you are going to "Fix" Health Care. We are not all as stupid as the people who vote for these communists.

[scubafox]

@MrNeroBurns Your ignorance & economic illiteracy is legion. Google "Single-Payer Health Insurance" "systems thinking" to see why.

[MrNeroBurns]

@scubafox So what was I wrong about? 80 Billion in Medicare fraud or 25% illiteracy rate?

[scubafox]

@MrNeroBurns Yes there's Medicare & Medicaid fraud by corporations. Irony: One of the major perpetrators is now the Republican governor of Florida. Corporate power is the problem; they should be out of health insurance entirely; I explain why if you'd google as I suggest. Yes, there's illiteracy because Republicans, who hate public education, underfund it so there are too many children in a classroom for a teacher to teach much less manage. They love teaching to the test, which doesn't work.

[Primarus]

@MrNeroBurns

I agree . we really need to start cracking down on the Mafia , they are the ones that operate these scams and fraud and but also everyone in between who try to defraud the United States and its citizens. Take some of the 80 billion and lock the S.O.B.s up.

[scubafox]

@MrNeroBurns "vote for these communists"??? It illustrates real ignorance about economics when public education, Medicare health insurance (or single-payer), or other government programs are characterized as promoted by "communists". Google "'Free Market' Fundamentalism" "systems thinking" to see why the "free market" fails in many ways. There is no "left" left in America, only liberals in the center who look like the "left" to the right wing extremists in the Republican Party.

[karolinegc]

I believe the female Rep from Illinois is saying something to the effect of "And they are right!!" - referencing the concern many have about a complete gov't take over of health care. II cannot understand her last words in this video but I have heard the audio previously. She is saying that are concerns are correct! Those currently in power do PLAN ON gov't health care ONLY.

[techtom04]

What a complete joker he is.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

Obama does not act like a president. He disgraces the office.

[SigalaSigala]

Barry Hussein Soetoro supporters are the biggest source of disinformation. It's too bad they can't be informed instead of just being opinionated.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

The only people who want Obamacare are deadbeats and freeloaders. They think they're getting a free handout that they won't have to work for. I have United Healthcare and it's absolutely the best. My cardiologist found a blockage in my main coronary artery... had me in O.R. 1 hour later, installed a stent and I went home the next day. You won't get that kind of service under Obamacare. Just say NO to socialized medicine!

[athenalong]

you are lying.

and you're not being slick with your name buddy.

[49bigguy]

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!! Trust the government? Medicare, Cash for Clunkers, Katrina, Amtrak, social security. Etc, etc, etc. The government doesn't run ANYTHING efficiently. People like RZA36, who reside in their grandma's basement, are looking for free health care paid for by productive people.

Trust the government......You are an ignorant moron. The elected officials whom you trust with your health care have excluded themselves from that plan.

[rebelstang]

NO more rhinos!

voinivich & the other rhino lacky's, for osamabama, are GONE!

New Congress, 2010!

Vote the Bums OUT!

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!

DEO VINDICE!

[TedVoron]

These Democrats are the REAL HEALTHCARE DISINFORMATION TEA-BAGGERS. I hope they FAIL to accomplish their hidden goals & SOCIALIST agenda...

[vllmer]

No wonder this bill was to be rushed. The details and comments made in past by its supporters aren't helping it.

You who claim the "free market" is bad what has congress been doing all these decades that has contributed to this health care crisis, just like mortgage meltdown crisis?

And who was at that crime scene? obama, barney, dodd, etc.

No way I can give power to a bureaucracy that has demonstrated it can't run ss, medicare, housing/mortgage companies, all run/about to run into ground.

[bigkurt25]

im not sure about hitler..but this guy definitely brought chicago politics to the national stage. i think the way this country is changing is disgusting. truth is we have been drifting away from the constitution for years now. but this is taking it into hyperspeed and if it keeps heading in this direction we could very well be looking at something tyrannical

[LLORT3]

i'm a republican but i support health insurance reform

[renegadekav]

reform but not tear down the whole system.

[goblinshark1]

LLORT3, claims to be a republican but has a bio that claims to be in Canada.

[LLORT3]

i'm in the GOP

but i support health insurance reform

i think single payer is the best way to go

[jeannedarc624]

Thats why the GOP is useless and no longer the party of Ronald reagan

[sts221]

why?

[drlax15m]

fine, but why is Obama lying about it now? Why isn't he explaining and defending why single payer is the best way to go in his opinion?!

[LLORT3]

i think obama is in bed with the insurance companies

they are some of his biggest donors just behind bankers

he is more or less a puppet for big business

[protocol66]

I wish liberals and even moderates that supported Obama and voted for him would give as much attention to HIS record as they do to Palin, Beck, Hannity and Rush. So many minds, so little intelligence. The TRUTH is there, Obama TOLD US what he was going to do. But millions of mental midgets drank the koolaid and focused on their hatred of Bush instead of doing something GOOD for America. You GET what you ASK for stupid hippies.

[LLORT3]

i still think, as corporate as obama is, he is still 100x better than bush was

[Wellster4212]

Bush had the United States best interest in mind, yes he made mistakes but he had our backs. Obama is a bold face lier with the downfall of this country at the top of his agenda. He is a socialist who wants the socialist system in place in the US it is crystal clear unless you are and idiot.

[TheTruthHurts101]

They are the same in every way! Get your head out of your ASS!

[herbs814]

big business and big government are always in cohoots. businesses need government to condone their corruption; government is full of whores who sell their official powers to special interests. this is why the best antidote to corrupt big business is small, limited government; the best protection against big business-government collusion is free market competition.

[LLORT3]

free market has led to 50 million uninsured

it needs to be ended since it cannot take responsibility to insure all americans

[herbs814]

Government intrusion has led to "50 million" "uninsured" -- a horribly inflated number that includes those who CHOOSE not to be insured, those who are "underinsured", and those who are in the country illegally.

Government intrusion needs to be ended because only free market healthcare is moral. Government healthcare has been an abyssmal failure.

Was healthcare or health insurance expensive before government intrusion increased in the 1930s, 40s, 60s, and 70s... NO. Private is the answer.

[chumlee333]

lies, lies, lies. can we really trust thsi admin who has been every bit deceitful. deceptive & certainly divisive as the last

[EB88]

Just try it in one state at a time, the ones that are in desperate need the most. That's how Canada started out, it was provinces that initiated it individually during the depression when people were having trouble affording doctors.

[ericjohnvillalobos]

obama = hitler

[NoCensorshipYT]

This is nothing more than FEAR mongering on the part of the White House!

The White House has NO right to be encouraging people to report other's, even in CASUAL conversation.

That is an attempt to INTIMIDATE people and make them AFRAID to speak up.

[henrycate]

Well, I'm certainly opposed to "health care reform" -- especially when we still don't know what it is. Duh.

[coondawg]

This video is ok, but you need one that SHOWS WHAT'S IN THE BILL. there are enough quotes from the house bill, or summaries by third parties of the legalese to make an effective video.

[unapimper]

Do republican idiots realize medicare/medicaid IS government-run single payer? Who's against that? Who's disinforming?

[theMETALDOVE]

it was the weiner guy, i think, that started this.

senior citizens on medicade or medicare are treatead by private doctors of their choosing in private facilities-clinics, offices, hospitals, also of their choosing,

THIS IS NOT SINGLE PAYER. itls merely the feds picking up the bil

this is not the SINGLE PAYER of medicad. which they stick the doctors with much of their cost.

[renegadekav]

and it is broken and a liberal system if im not mistaken.government should do its job and nothing more if you want government to wipe your ass there are plenty of other countries you can visit.

[teton99]

Obama's Politics of Collective Redemption

By Kyle-Anne Shiver

And in this seemingly redemptive offering, Obama may be promising what only God can actually deliver, in the form of yet another, more eloquent, version of the same old utopian dream that started with Rousseau and Marx.

[OxyConservative]

This video looks fishy to me. I'm afraid I am going to have to turn you in to Obama's Disinformation Czar...the one who used to be a "journalist" for ABC News.

[NotaBeetleFan]

Lol. Czar that means Ceasar, or Emperor from Russia. Emperor or Ceasar is "Title of Royalty."

Section 9 Article I of Constitution states that

"No title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States...."

But the Constitution is just a "D**n piece of paper" and has been for several decades in the eyes of several Administrations. We should have nipped this in the bud years ago, but people didn't care. It's going to come back to bite us one day.

[BeantownJim]

Hope obongo kept that hut over in africa He's gonna need it after 9/12 march on Washington D.C.

[Her6ert]

E. D. Excessive Disinformation. With Liagra there is longer lasting fabrications.

[cbcowboyup403]

Why wasn't the GOP running effective ads like this during the election?

[hiltonhead]

Because McLame was in charge.

[Paulsur]

Bamboozler in Chief

[GJB7733]

And in other news, obama's approval rating just went down some more.

[msqtube]

wasn't it Aristotle who said "first we kill all the lawyers" ?

If we could stop everyone from treating the hospital as a sort of jackpot every time anything goes wrong, that would go a long way toward bringing the costs down.

Its the lawsuits that make American health care so ridiculously expensive.

[tkmcpike]

I'm a lawyer, and I agree with you completely. But It was Shakespeare, not Aristotle.

[TOL1488]

I can't believe it, The Joker would never lie...

"Some men just want to see the world burn."

[davidmesaaz]

I can't believe that Obama has bought of the AARP AMA big Pharma with the threat that if you want to exist in 4 years you had better keep quiet. But then they still say that people are spreading disinformation...

[cre8hypertrophy]

The veil is being lifted... and what america see is a racist, community organizer, steeped in Marxism. He has lost 3 MILLION jobs on his watch. He has spent more than all previous presidents combined and as if Bush's deficit wasn't bad enough Obama has tripled it! Now he wants to spend 1.6 TRILLION on socializing medicine. No Barack we will not let you socialize this country!

[tjcache]

I'd like to see someone honestly come forward and show why health care costs got out of hand in the first place.

Lets start in 1965 the year Medicare became law. Medicare fixes prices that below actual cost. The remaining costs are absorbed by those outside of Medicare. As costs began to rise there was greater demand for private insurance which also fixes prices. Throw in the problems we have with Torts and BAM sky rocketing medical costs.

[tjcache]

When you think about the large share of people covered under government insurance i.e. Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare etc vs private insurance companies ALL of which undercut prices than who really has the largest responsibility for high medical costs?

That would be the government. Now the government is trying to give up the same model as bankrupt Medicare and tell us it's good for us.

I'm all for some reform but the bill before congress right now IS NOT THE ANSWER.

[MrMindfucker]

This is health care information you can use from real world!

[MrMindfucker]

Plain common sense!

[MrMindfucker]

You can blame the crisis on Corporate greed,Politican's,excessive immagration be it legal or illegal, and some folk's having to many kid's they cant take care of...

[MrMindfucker]

Well you see folk's your already paying taxes for other people's health care service's. So just remember this the next time you get denied care from your paid plan that low income people will get the service's your denied for free!

I dont think this right! We need a health care plan or Major Reform so everyone is treated the same at the doctor's office regaurdless of income. If you feel you against it remember your still paying for other people's health care! Some poor cant even get care!

[MrMindfucker]

I would rather have affordable heathcare than a civil war!

I cant afford any now. We all need some change!

[Earendil82]

Anyone with a brain knows that a "public option" insurance plan, which does not have to make a profit, will put private companies out of business, since they in fact have to make a profit. Anyone who does not see this has a very low IQ. I like my private health insurance. I will not get to keep it under this plan. Anyone who tells u that you can is a liar, or is just stupid.

[jefcostellox]

Gestapo Nation!!!!!

[jjsalmiya]

Let's get rid of these damned politicians who do nothing but lie to us, waste our money and think they know what is best for us. Obama being the worst of the liars.

[tmarkhamesq]

Great job GOP!

[TheConMama]

Great video! It clearly shows Obama's hypocrisy, and his out-right lying!!! Spread this video, people. Post on your blogs, facebook, and email your friends!

[nilesmc]

Nicely done vid.

I just hope you guys in the GOP sober up and remember this is partly your fault. You shouldn't have treated Dr. Ron Paul like a piece of trash during the election. Who knows. If the GOP backed him instead of McAmnesty/McKennedy/McFeingold­, maybe we wouldn't be in this predicament right now...Did I just say 'right'?

[12oink12]

Thank You... we need to spread this video ASAP

[RZA36]

3-Approximately 50 percent of personal bankruptcies are due to medical expenses.4- Prescription drug prices in the USA are about 30 percent higher than they are in Canada or Europe. 5-The fastest growing segment of the under insured are middle and upper income families. The rate of under insured for those with incomes of $40,000 or more nearly tripled, to 11 percent.

[tmarkhamesq]

Oh, so there's already a Federal law that relieves people of their high med cost burdens? Yes, drug pxs are higher b/c they're better - and b/c it's part of an innovative econ system that continues to crank out the world's best meds. Yes, mid/upper income fams are more & more under/uninsured b/c they're small biz owners & if Medicaid/Medicare was working, then the cost of the elderly population's health care wouldn't be falling on their shoulders so much.

[TedT1478]

This is another socialist myth. I am a consumer bankruptcy attorney with 20 years experience. I have handled thousands of bankruptcy cases and have written journal articles been interviewed in newspapers etc. Many people who file bankruptcy on credit cards have a couple doctor bills totalling a few hundred dollars on their schedule of debts. These people are included in these statistics about medical bankruptcies. In my experience medical relaied bills account for less than 1 in 50 cases.

[RZA36]

"Medical bills are behind more than 60 percent of U.S. personal bankruptcies. More than 75 percent of these bankrupt families had health insurance but still were overwhelmed by their medical debts, Nationally, a quarter of firms cancel coverage immediately when an employee suffers a disabling illness; another quarter do so within a year." The team at Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School and Ohio University reported in the American Journal of Medicine.  Thsi is from Reuters June 4

[theMETALDOVE]

nobody is arguing against reform.. being compelled to participate in a top down soviet style health care rationing system...that's another proposition all together.

if cost is the issue, then asking the federal government, the most fraudulent, wasteful, corrupt entity in human history to manage the matter, woiuld be comical if it weren't so deadly serious.

the feds can't run the post office how are they going to manage care of 300,000, 000 people...this is really common sense

[RZA36]

Getting the government involved in health care wouldnt be a radical step: the government is already deeply involved, even in private insurance. And that government involvement is the only reason our system works at all. Private markets for health insurance, left to their own devices, work very badly: insurers deny as many claims as possible, and they also try to avoid covering people who are likely to need care.

[theMETALDOVE]

"health care" was never an issue at all UNTIL governmment got involved starting with teddy k and the hmo. the insurance companies if left to their own devices would do what the market dictates or they would fail.

government intervention IS the variable in rising health care cost and NOT the remedy of anything. it's all they can do to keep the post office running.

[renegadekav]

so lets go from bad to worse?government is not the answer more control of american lives is not the answer.

[RZA36]

What is the answer then? Everybody posting here is bashing reform, but they don't have an alternative. The current status in unacceptable. There are a host of reasons we spend so much more on health care than other developed nations while lagging woefully behind on quality of care. The tens of millions without coverage and the tens of millions with inadequate coverage - including high out-of-pocket costs - don't get preventive care and delay treatment at the first signs of illness.

[renegadekav]

the answer is curtainly not to go after a roach with a sledge hammer.free market is the way to go its the essence of capitalism which our nutless monkey in chief doesn't seem to like.why rush something so important?there are conservatives who have come up with far better idea's but they are not in control now so they are just doing damage control.

[RZA36]

How do you think Americans feel about those who d!e everyday due to this system the very system "capitalist" are trying to force on us Americans. You know, the one where we pay way too much, and yet still get denied health care just so those invested into the system can profit? The "nutless monkey" isn't trying to rush anything. Health care reform has been in the works since the 1940's. Health care should have the welfare of the citizens in mind, not the profits of Wall Street.

[renegadekav]

high hopes but we need to come back down to earth and the nutless monkey is clearly rushing things he said he is.why are you in denial?I won't let people like you gamble with my country.

[RZA36]

It isn't your country, it is our country. It's called the United States of America, not the United States of RenegadeRacistLoser. If the current administration is moving to fast for you to understand what the hell is going on, then that is not their problem. Words like "nutless monkey" and "my country" actually show the world how lost you are.

[jwhitwell]

This makes me curious, because I'm under the impression that hospitals/emergency rooms cannot refuse treatment to anyone, whether they have coverage or not. So... who dies in this country for lack of care? Can they not get to the emergency room for some reason?

[RZA36]

I trust government much more than private, unaccountable, health insurance companies. At least we know who our elected representatives are, and we can give them h3ll when they are incompetent and/or corrupt, as they will be from time to time. Can any of us name the board of directors of UnitedHealth?

[OrionCA1]

Name the Congressmen other than in your own district and State whom you can "hold accountable". Can't think of one?  Why are you going to put unaccountable 532 (535 less the 3 you can vote against) politicians in charge of your health care?

[RZA36]

All members of Congress are held accountable. It's called an election. It happens every even numbered year in the House and every six years for the Senate.

[garnxe]

Sort of. The general populace is uninformed, uneducated, and votes based on party. Since one party in particular offers unrealistic promises (they all have failed on cost) and "provides," they generally get the vote, thanks to an increasingly apathetic people.

I'm all for term limits for congressmen and women in the house, however.

[OrionCA1]

The ER is the most expensive option because typically you present yourself there w/o a medical history. That means they have to run additional tests, at great expense, for all but the most simple of medical problems. As typically ER patients can't pay the hospital passes the cost along to the rest of us. Obamacare doesn't do much about this, btw, because people STILL will go to the ER for the most minor of concerns, only now w/the knowledge that the care is "free".

[OrionCA1]

There's no such thing as a "medical bankruptcy" per se: it's really just a standard Chapter 7 bankruptcy to clear all debts including unpaid medical bills. Usually medical bills are only a contributing factor. If you're laid up for 3-6 months with a medical problem you're not working, the bills pile up, and you have to declare bankruptcy to clear MANY debts. Obamacare would help a little but not much with this. Canadian "medical bankruptcies" are just a little lower than here in the US.

[RZA36]

I understand the Canadian system has it's problems, but we can take the best of all the systems (Canada, France, UK, and most European countries) and mold it into something good. If the government health insurance option is as bad as the opponents make it out to be, private health insurance doesn't have to worry about anything.

[OrionCA1]

Take the best of those systems and you would have something like the US system. (1) we don't ration care, (2) you can pick your doctor (3) there are no waiting lists (4) we have the best medical technology in the world. You can't "fix" the US system by taking everything good away from it.

[RZA36]

The only way to bring health care costs under control is to make big, comprehensive changes. We need to shift the focus of our health care system from maximizing revenue for health care providers and insurers to maximizing the health status of Americans. 1-I've never heard of European countries "rationing"care. 2-You pick the the doctor the insurance allows you to pick3-There is no waiting list in America, but we are talking about the financial structure4- We do have the best technology

[megamaniac76]

RZA36,

Where is there any proof that the government is good at molding the so-called best ideas from other countries into something good for America?

[MrNeroBurns]

"...private health insurance doesn't have to worry about anything."

They do because Gov't doesn't have to follow the same rules as private industry. Things the gov't does would have private companies brought up on anti trust violations.

[empirion13]

That's a very naive (albeit good-natured) view of healthcare. Two things:

1.) The countries who first tried socialized healthcare are staggering under the financial weight of it. Some, such as Switzerland, are trying to back out of it.

2.) You can't say "private insurance doesn't have to worry" when a gov. option will necessarily drive the private option out of business through unfair competition.

You think insurance is bureaucratic now? Just you wait....

[theMETALDOVE]

thank you for pointing that out...common sense tells you that is utterly false, but i still always wondered where the number came from. the left reallty are masters of lying by omission. you almost have to admire their uncanny ability at duplicity.

The health insurance companies have let many people in the U.S. die, and for what? More money for the people running the companies! Single payer would be an absolute wonderful thing here in the U.S. If single payer is so bad, how come you never here the people of Cuba, Canada or the U.K. complain about their programs? Those countries, and many other countries, have never heard of bankruptcy due to lack of medical insurance, unlike here in the U.S.

U Idiot... THEY ARE COMPLAINING!!!!

Cuba? CUBA??? If they complain they will be arrested you idiot... it is a totalitarian state.

Do some research and you will find the complaining in Canada and the UK.. and everywhere else.... just because you havnt heard the complaints in the maintsream media doesnt mean it isn't there.

Promise me you are going to do some research?

[RZA36]

Here is some research for you 12oink12 1-The amount people pay for health insurance increased 30 percent from 2001 to 2005, while income for the same period of time only increased 3 percent, as reported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.2-The United States health care system is recognized as one of the worst - 48 million are uninsured, 25 million are under insured, and health care expenditures are high at 16 percent of GNP.

Hey idiot... listen up:

According to the Census... 84% of those uninsured are happy or feel excellent about their health...

Over 20% of uninsured are not US Citizens

Plus...the govt does pay for emergency healthcare...and why should others have to pay for the health of a third person??? If someone smokes... drinks or does cocaine....then surely the population shouldnt be forced into paying for their care...It was THEIR CHOICE.

[RZA36]

Health care should be provided to anyone, for any reason (at a low cost). We live in a society, and we should take care of all of the people living here, not just the ones who can afford to pay the premiums. The cost of doing nothing on health reform will bankrupt families, and reforming health care will save the average American family thousands per year. Even you!!

[TheLegalImmigrant05]

NEVER hear them complain? LOL You are cracking me up

[TheLegalImmigrant05]

And that disproves that Obama is a liar... how exactly???

Or are you simply saying that it's ok for him to lie about his plan to take over healthcare in this country? That as long as he succeeds in that, any action is justified, and that Americans will get this even if they don't want it?

You see, if the public wanted this, he would not have to lie. He knows we don't want what he's selling, so he has to lie through his freaking teeth.

[GreenBerets0547]

Great video, shows just how much Obama is a liar, to bad the media is in bed with him, they would of had a field day, expecially with the White House wanting you to e-mail them any suspicious e-mail or anything ''fishy'' about healthcare. The Gestapo is back.
