Fact Check on Obama's Healthcare by Congressmen Gingrey (R-GA) and Fleming (R-LA) [1~4]

he said they were going to have a single-payer national health insurance program.

It has already been determined that "single-payer" is off the table.

As well, what he explained at the beginning seemed like an extremely complicated system by which current insurance companies offer coverage.

Under gov. run systems from moost other wealthy nations don't have to worry about deductibles, or which doctor uses which plan. In fact under gov. run health care there is less interference.

"Under gov. run health care there is LESS INTERFERENCE"? You gotta be freakin' kidding me.

I happen to live under a gov. run health care sys. (Spain) that I FORCEFULLY have to pay to the tune of 250 Euros ($376)/month (minimal base). Private insurance would cost me $75/month.

And you know which are my options in using which doctor?, take a wild guess: NONE! HC has its doctors.

It gets better: the Gov. run HC is bankrupt, are you having fun? Betcha you're taking checks from Uncle Sugar.

I don't know what plan you have in Spain, but that is not a single-payer system like the one in Canada where I come from.

In Canada we pay a fair bit of tax and all citizens are given a health card for which they can use anywhere in the country and see any doctor they choose with absolutely no restrictions or gov. intervention.

It's true some people have to wait a little while for non-emergency procedures, but it's a small price to pay. we are trying to improve that.

We pay 3 times more for health care than any other country. and double what Europe pays.

You cannot get consumer information on doctors or hospitals.

US health care is the most deadly and expensive health care in the world. You cannot even name the federal agency that oversees the actions of doctors and hospitals because there is none. Our current health care system is anarchy because there is no regulation. Get a clue tea bagger.

@Balldez: Plain bullshit, get a free job, tea sucker.
