  • Interesting video, but I would disagree with Obamacare. It is not even constitutional to force the American Public to pay for something if they choose they don't want it. Give it a shot?!? If Obamacare is implemented, there is no just giving it a shot, you'll be forced to have it. After midterms Republican party took control of the house and filled a lot of seats, and the Republicans said no to Obamacare. Obama back waters and says, "I did not know how much this Health care reform cost"

  • @yourmanification I was referring to a non profit, government run health insurance plan, that I would have the choice to purchase a policy from them & that would have to survive only on the premiums collected.

    The "reform" that was passed is a farce. It does not inject much needed competition into the health insurance market, does not lower cost to the policy holders nor the tax payer & you have NO CHOICE but to buy an overpriced policy from scheisty insurance providers. All around suckage!

  • You don't need Obamacare, You need a SugarDaddy, a set of Manballs... maybe even a gun. (Don't let Obama take your bullets.) This is America. Does Obamacare fills these voids? For me Obamacare had the opposite effect... My balls aren't blue, Superman is my bitch, I'm a landowner and Multiple home owner, I only make $32,000 per year, I go to work every MORNING, I pay my own MORTGAGE, I have 2 kids, I have two 4-wheel-drive SUV's and several motorcycles, and not one ounce of debt. What say you?

  • Be a man. Chicks dig it... I promise. I only make 32,000 per year myself. I have 1 new house in the suburbs and 2nd house that I built myself on 160 paid off acres in the country. I also have 2 kids (2 yrs old and 8 mths old) that I support and buy private insurance for which covers 80% of expenses. My youngest at 3 weeks of age was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis. Private insurance paid for 80% and I covered the rest plus a C-section bill. Weak dudes make me look good. I need a challenge!

  • Your 65% is based on biased polls. Your need to think about what happens when Superman isn't there to save you, be an adult and provide for yourself. That's what this country was founded on. There are no excuses. Be a man... or Woman up if that be the case. No racism, no bias, and no bullshit! This country is about saying "F-U" to the government and doing it yourself. Stop your bitching, grow a clinking set and do it yourself! There is nowhere else on Earth where you will get the opportunity.

  • @gamonman Look. I'll be more clear about what I wanted. A non for profit health insurance OPTION, that I would PAY MY OWN premiums for my policy, that would be CHEAPER because some greedy CEO isn't looking to be payed. I'm not looking for "all my medical needs" just emergency room care & a yearly check up.

    Just to be accurate, this country was founded on the corpses of the indigenous people, most of whom were sent on a death march at the behest of President Jackson. Just say'in, is all.

  • Dude you look like a circus freak. No wonder you can't get a job. I'm supposed to pay for your health care? LOL Grow up, Take the 13 year old girl earrings out of your ears, take some responsability for yourself. The government is not your mommy's nipple.

  • Oh my gods! You're right. I should take out the earrings that would make all the stores that I called on the phone want to hire me.

    Look, I don't want you to pay for squat in my life. I want a non for profit option for my insurance where I would pay premiums & the organization would have to survive on premiums alone. If you're going to listen to someone on FOX news listen to Shemp Smith.

    BTW-If not for Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1.5% we would be much better off.

  • Dude if you didn't look like that you might be eligable for a real job. Retail is for teens and losers.

    You could use some education too. Then you might realize that insurance comapnies do already survive on premiums alone... Well except for AIG which by the way Obama now runs anyway.

    If you had an education and didin't self mutliate you might also be able to join the wealthiest 1.5% of the population who by the way pay about 87% of the entire income tax bill.

  • Well thanks for your suggestion & compliments.

    I am assuming from the position that you have take that you have attended college or some sort of university. So tell me, do you understand the "Public Option" proposal? If so please share your understanding.

    My understanding of the proposal is that it would be like an insurance company in every way EXCEPT that they would be non-profit & no million dollar ad campaigns thus be able to offer LOWER premiums.

  • Yes I worked two jobs (slinging burgers and bar tending) and got through without a loan.

    The average percentage of profit made by health insurance companies is around 3%. Every Government program in history has run less efficiently then it's private counterparts. So a "Public Option" would necessitate tax money to stay afloat. Additionally, because the public option would be run from the federal government it would be immune from lawsuits leaving you no recourse if mistreated.

  • Well if it's so darned bad you don't have to buy it. I hate fast food & don't eat it. If no one likes it, no one will buy it, then it will go away. Capitalism.

    If governments are so bad a running health insurance & the private sector rocks then why are 70% of bankruptcies in the US due to medical bills while France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, et cetera have none?

  • Because they are all dead.

  • There is no perfect system least of all ours. Many Euro systems have long waits for treatments but people get treated. You can wait for the public sponsored hospital or find a private provider who will help you sooner.

    I've spoken to people from Sweden who have told me it's not a great system but at least they know they're covered.

  • There is a law in America where you cannot be refused treatment even if you can't pay already so stop worrying. My bet is the wait in the emrgancy room for people without coverage in the USA is far shorter than the wait for those who have it in the UK.

  • That law drives up the cost of premiums for those with insurance making them pay for the emergency room care of another person. The public OPTION is non for profit insurance run by but not funded by the government.

    Like I said, I have corresponded with people IN the UK who live with their government health care who say it could be better but it's better than what you have.

  • The health insurance companies don't pay these costs. They only cover those with insurance. The hospital pays them and in return they get Federal funding. The plan you speak will drive the costs through the roof as people cannot be refused coverage they will not buy policies untill they are sick (and pay the tiny $750 fine) and then drop it again when they don't need it anymore. This is what happened in MA and they are now bankrupt after only 3 years of the same utopic plan.

  • No. In Massachusetts health insurance was made mandatory with subsidies from the insurance companies & fines from absonders. The public OPTION is different. I may not have a college degree but I do know what an option is.

    I've already said it. It's a "stand alone" government organization which DOES NOT use tax money. NONE! It must survive on the premiums which it collects. If it fails in providing affordable health insurance to those who need it, then people will stop buying it. Simple.

  • @Estrodile But you WILL have to buy it eventually... Understand that these liberties are taken from us incrementally and not all-at-once. All it takes for someone to understand the danger we're all in is to research history. Learn why other countries wet toward socialized medicine. Read speeches made by past and current Presidents. It's all there. The politicians rely on the fact that Americans are complacent. You have to view both sides. I don't force propaganda but encourage research.

  • Egypt failed, the Aztecs failed, the Roman Empire failed, Japan failed, the U.S.S.R. failed, Saadam failed and so did the "Star Wars" Emperor Palpatine. What do all of these entities have in common?.. government run health care. China will also fail in this area eventually. The list goes on and on. The most successful country in human history came about due to the "F--U government" attitude of it's people. We should be so lucky to have founders who didn't want power. Say thank you!

  • @gamonman Dude, turn off FOX "News" for a sec & please listen. I don't want health care that is run by the government, ONLY an OPTION to BUY INTO WITH MY MONEY ALONE, a non-profit program organized by the government, WHILE STILL others have the OPTION to retain or purchase a policy from a PRIVATE insurance provider. As I had laid out in an earlier discussion with the user "RonFella" this is NOT ANY KIND OF GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

  • Right. they left for the sea... never to be seen again... You know that european tourists must subskribe a paper monstrosity statin´ out that they are NOT travelling Amerika to kill the president, putting anthrax in certain mails, not beeing a terrorist and soan... and we have to pay a general 10$ "touristfee" to get a free ticket for 9/11. And you wonder why we keep the good schtuff for ourselfes^^ Gosh, i just wanna see Obama, NY/Conneticut, California/Oregon and some reservates...

  • there's only 8 million people uninsured. don't include the illegal aliens on your list. another thing, you are able-bodied,single(no kids) and can pay for your own insurance and quit sponging off the goverment and taxpayers.

  • -sigh-

    Other countries (Sweden, Canada, France, the list goes on) have some form of government health insurance & these people have better a better quality of life than we do.

    We spend the MOST on health care yet are the LEAST healthy for it.

    If that makes me a socialist, pass me the forehead stamper & I'll do it myself.

  • Sorry you will have to deal with all the american Conservative trolls :(

  • Ironic. Conservatives should love the opportunity to save their constituents money & to introduce competition into the insurance market. That is if they weren't bought by those companies.

  • germany.. let´s say Europe here.

    check on healthcare. got it. Thx Bismark,

    youre a cutie. uh, that was even before

    ww2... you GI´s are still fightin? Sad,

    thought our granpas shame was lesson enough, for everyone. erm, strayin... gettin myselfe informed about your funny politics,

    and maybe post a reply. Your not knowin, dude... but i owe you one. Rest of u guys... your the proud of the colloni...erm...your country... just like our adorabal little nazis here. Erm, where are the indians?

  • I think that there are better options than this. I too cannot aford health care, but this is not the way to get it. . Good to hear you again. Pease

  • I am from Sweden and we have Universial healthcare and it is awsome :)

    All love from me Jasmine

  • yes and all the rich people left Sweden too because they don't want to pay for your insurance. I don't blame them for the world owes you nothing

  • Well you spend far more of your GDP then the rest oif the world yet you get less of your healthcare then we do in any place in Europe you have no argument then trough the S word over the netire place.

  • Pinhead! you need to see a doctor to check your head i think you are missing common sense

  • Enlighten me, please. Obviously you know something I do not

  • the New York times is in bed with Obama fool! get your liberal butt out of the techno punk club get a craft a better education stop getting your info from the new york times, the view, rolling stones and oprah. LOl.

  • Lol typical american idiot..

    The rest of the rich world is proud over there universial healthcare and american right wingers denying this saying it is horrible even though in WHO list USA is not even in the top 30..

  • Thank you. Actually I believe we were ranked 27 but for one of the most wealthy countries in the world it's tragic beyond words.

  • I was wrong. We're 37 in the world.

  • livesouthtexas: your shitty remarks leaves much to be desired. Why don't you go back to Texas and form your own country so we can declare war on you fuckheads? You don't like health care? Conservative idiots are pro-lifers... so they should support something like health care that will help increase lifestyles and health. France has better life expectancy rate that the U.S. That's a very telling fact. But I guess you're only interested in brain damage. Fucking southern hick.

  • well get that junk out of your ears, turn off the rap,stop smoking weed, grow some balls b a man and find a real job! work 2 if u have 2. better urself u lazy liberal i am tiered of working my ass off to pay 4 able capable men who make poor decisions that hinder them from finding a decent job, like F-N their face up. My Name is Jesse Martinez from Texas and I hate busting my ass for lazy liberals, freeloaders, and people who make poor life choices. &65% of Americans don't want it. 15 undecided

  • Well I'm so glad that you set me straight, sir! I will do just that. I'll quit the best job I've had yet & get a "real" job.

    Certainly bicycles can't do anything important like allow people in poor countries to have a means for getting their produce to the market. Or make CEO's jobs easier by employing bicycle messengers (I am a retired messenger) to move envelopes across town in a matter of minutes rather than days with the postal service.

    Oh, & that weed I don't smoke will be tough to quit.

  • you don't have a real job which is why you want the goverment and taxpayer to pay your. move to Europe you socialist!

  • Um.... I have money BUT I SUPPORT THE PUBLIC OPTION.... because I'm not a selfish prick like you ... Lets make something very clear... IF YOU THINK private insurance companies are your friend ... THINK AGAIN... they will LET you die if it means they can save a buck.. wake up

  • Thank you.
