  • wow they went to california, one of the most liberal states out there and their healthcare is completely bankrupt basically, to find people that is willing to argue a leftist idea of healthcare? what the heck?? come to the south or the midwest where u will find that this type of socialism will not be tolerated.

  • LMAOL! This is to funny!

  • xd this video was indeed different from the usual coverage.

  • a public option is essential.

  • Ads beofer youtube videos? WTF

  • This rules.

  • by the way the nazi were national socilist party go back to school retards

  • it is so funny how the left wants to limit free speech now that their boy is in the white house,they had no problems about bush being compared to hitler or a chimp, hypocritical bastards --OBAMA IS THE NEXT HITLER AND MICHELLE OBAMA IS A MAN----RU PAUL I THINK

  • HELL  NO OBAMA MUST GO

  • This was excellent. The truth is: the interests of the productive people of this country are not being represented by the paid for and pushed elected class. The result is: ordinary people participating in the political process in self defense. They (we) are not radicals.

  • current, if you wanted a good news story (fights yells, and that fun stuff) you should go to a location thats half R and half D, or close to that. Because in my city (cary, NC) there was a huge yell out contest. thats what happens when you cross red necks with people from new york. lol

  • how the hell can people in the US relate public health care to nazism?

  • Because the people putting this trojan "notso" health care bill together have the mindset of nazis.

  • socialism.

  • Fail to understand what's good for your country

  • socialism is not the right way to handle a failing economy. We need to balance our import to our exports by creating factory jobs for the working class. We cant give away money in a country based on earning money. Some people need help but they need incentive to work more to earn more help.

  • Shadapaga, that's all well and good if your company offers health insurance. There are 50 million of us that are not so lucky.

    I work 40-50 hours a week, and still cannot afford health insurance because my company will not contribute. That is where reform will help most - to make things fair for all, and not just the huge corporations.

  • We need to balance our import to our exports by creating factory jobs for the working class

    Very good point & I agree fundamentally but creating factory jobs here really needs FAIR Trade policies & not the Free(for all) Trade in order 2 work. Dean Baker makes a similar point in his book Plunder & Blunder. Handle a failing economy.

    Well, overall it was greed that brought us here so if there are rules put in place to prevent us from dealing w/this every 10yrs or so then call it wut evr u want.

  • yeah... that's what i mean...

    socialism has nothing to do with nazism, it's practically the polar opposite.

  • Because they're fucking morons being manipulated into mass hysteria by right wing media outlets such as Fox News which broadcast half truths and flat out lies to protect the interests of health care profiteers and the wealthy elite who are so selfish that they can't empathize that even people they don't know need healthcare.

  • LOL at fucking morons being manipulated ... You mean lies like "You can keep your health care if you like it?" ,,, unless, your employer changes, you change jobs or any other "fine print" that allows you only the public "option" ?

    Perhaps it is why does the AFL-CIO support this? Surely it isnt the 10 BILLION DOLLARS that goes into their pension plan LOL ....

    Keep being manipulated you fucking MORON!

  • I'm not a moron, I'm Canadian and I enjoy having socialized health care. There should be nothing other than the public option. Healthcare is a right which should be bestowed to all equally despite their social status.

  • SO basically, you have no stake in this discussion.

    I lived in Ontario for a couple of years and watched a friend go through cancer there.

    He waited 3-4 weeks to see Dr. initially. Then about 4-5 more weeks for M.R.I and diagnostic testing. Then 3-4 more weeks before treatment started. ..... Lung canecr spread in friend 4 months from doctor to 1st treatment. HE DIED 2 months later.

    USA .. MRI same day or next ... Treatment begins within week at latest.

    You get WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

  • I call bullshit on that. My grandfather, aunt, father and best friend have all had cancer, all of them received timely care & all survived. I too have always received excellent care. One year I broke my leg in three places at 6:45 PM on Christmas Eve. It was so bad they called in a specialist from being with his family to give me the surgery. I got MORE THAN MY MONEY'S WORTH!

  • LOL lets see when I lived there ... gas was 92 cents a litre ($1.35 / gallon in US), beer was $42 a case ($12.99 in US), cigarettes were $48 versus ($20 in US) so a carton, a case and a tankful a week was $150 area verus ($60 US) ... there was the good old GST on top of the PST ..

    You waited weeks for a doctor without it being an emergency .... that strange feeling becomes full blown trouble by then.

    Damn, and I pay $18 per week through my employer to be able to go today if necessary ...

  • And if your employer doesn't provide a health coverage plan? what then? are you going to just die? If you did it must be because you didn't work hard enough to deserve to live. That's what people like you think isn't it? Certainly all the people I know who earned university educations and have to work two part time jobs have only themselves to blame for taking jobs that don't provide benefits.

  • Wow .. great reply .. way to turn it ugly and assume you know me. Or even better yet that you know everything about our country. There are MANY programs available for people of low income and even NO income.

    They do not have choices for better incomes because they pursued unmarketable degrees or because they live in an overburdoned and heavily taxed economy that doesnt allow for expansion of industry. Like USA in 1980 .. and again in 2009. The jobs arent there. OUR POINT exactly. Thank you.

  • And you assume you know my friends and that they took unmarketable courses? Yes there is a job shortage but it's because American companies pulled out when your economy went sour, putting 20 000 people out of work in this city alone. Now they've had to retrain and take other jobs that my friends may have otherwise had.

    And yes Canadians are bombarded with American media twenty four seven we do know everything about you. TWO POINTS FOR FLINCHING exactly. Thank you.

  • OK .. So it is America's fault for Canadian job losses ... And YOU want us to continue down the road that will make industry and manufacturing go further down? Guess you dont want those US businesses back.

    No, you know how the MEDIA choose to protray us as. We only have South Park to judge you by. Must be accurate huh??? As I discovered when I lived in Ontario, CANADA makes you WANT to learn about the USA, dream bout the USA as you rely on your job from a USA company ...

    SCORE!

  • In the USA, a homeless penniless person is not "allowed to die" as you seem to think. That is insane. Say a homeless penniless person has a heart attack on the sidewalk.... they get taken to a hospital, treated and referred to a program to help them further. Even if they do not have their O.H.I.P. card! Even if they cannot remember their name. Claims otherwise or baseless and basically inane.

  • Yeah but if you have cancer growing in your body, you only get treatment when you are on death's door and that's too late, you DIE! Same with a heart attack, if you had preventative treatment from the beginning, you could avoid the heart attack. The American system only helps the uninsured, after they are too sick to help. You have to be on death's door before they will help you.

  • Hmmm guess I will stop going to that doctor I see on a regular basis for the treatment of "possible" cancer and tell him we are Americans and have to wait until I am on death's door before we do anything about it.

    If you are referring to homeless people, how many of them in Ontario have an O.H.I.P. card and see doctors on regular basis? They must all have great teeth as well correct? They avoid the system and therefore medical as well.

    Another comment with no basis and no forethought..

  • 2:10 how do you get obama and hitler mixed up?

  • By the friends they keep.

  • lol... too funny

    i knew the healthcare debate would be a touchy subject.

    one great solution euthanize the sick and elderly it is cheap and its effective. sounds harsh but in the long run you will see what a good decision it is

  • you are right on the money

  • You being 21, I don't think you would know the old TV show called "Logan's Run". Basically some huge event happened on earth, and everyone was forced to live in a city covered by a glass bubble. The thing is, since the bubble was so small, once you hit 25 years old, it was time for you to die. And the funny thing was that those setting the rules were folks over 60, but no one knew they were that old.

    So, you being 21, you've got less than 4 years to live. Sound fair?

  • but i would still be a productive member of society why would me a 25 year old taxed individual be euthanize when i could generate income to the state for another 25 years which would give the state more then $500,000 the cut of date should be around which ever age is more of a drain then benefit

    satire

  • That was just the book, tv-show, movie example.

    But now, let's say you're 80yo, and you have a 7yo grandson who wants you to teach him how to fish. Think at 80 you have nothing left to give? Then watch this video: watch?v=51VhG8MKxJY

  • My dad HAD health insurance, but nobody would pay for his cancer treatment. SINGLE PAYER. He is dead now.

  • The very government that you're telling to take control of our healthcare is the same government not allowing known treatments to be used.

    Look up the video, "Run from the cure".

  • Socialized is not bad.....but THIS plan is FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!

    Expect another 25% coming out of your paycheck! (if you still get one)

  • great^^

  • you guys should have came to the ones i covered.. ill video response one of the packages i did to this

  • Even the AARP is behind Obama's plan and says it will only strengthen existing programs, like Medicare, yet these brainless followers of Rush Limbaugh and Lyndon LaRouche have succeeded in throwing a monkey wrench into the reform process. Obama needs to grow a pair and just bulldoze this very vocal minority. You can't always please everyone; you have to strive to please most.

  • While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate"

    AARP Reacts to Presidents Health Care Town Hall

    AARP press release aug 11th 2009

  • I giggled. FIVE STARSSSSS!!!!!

  • These ppl can't do the math. Yes we do have tremendous health care costs but look at the size and population of our country. We're five times larger than the U.K. so the government is gonna pay more. We also have the best technology for detecting and treating health problems. Every hospital I know of or have ever been to has MRI machines and x-rays and an abundance of other things. We have to pay for that somehow, and if profit is the motive than fine, it's either that or low quality treatment.

  • logic FAIL! If the country is five times larger, that means the citizens contribute five times more in taxes. The US also has more wealthy people and corporations than practically any other country in the world. Therefore I think the government could fund a quality healthcare system free for everyone if THEY WANTED TO. If profit is the motive, then its not fine, its a violation of human rights you fool.

  • But if you take away the profit you take away their motive for creating new technologies and you just have a few faithful scientist who are working on something with practically no funds. Therefore the government must fund those scientist and pay for healthcare as well. And funding all of the medications that are out there right now would be a tremendous cost. And ppl hate paying higher taxes so good luck there. Politically, the new system would fail and we'd be Clinton to Bush again.

  • And we already have some of the highest taxes in the world for corporations. You would have to reallocate funds that are already there without creating new ones. So tax increases and the government creating and giving away free medication doesn't work. Logic Pass.

  • The US has more wealthy people and corporations because of capitalism. Not socialism.  Capitalism produces wealth while socialism only spreads it without any means of producing wealth. Also, profit is fine. That's like saying, "Publishers shouldn't publish my book for profit because that's interfering with my right to free speech." Or "Grocery stores shouldn't sell food for profit because it's a necessity and that violates human rights."

  • Comment removed

  • Assuring medical care is a human rights violation?

  • 1 logic point: we pay more for our military than the whole world. Our taxes go to other things. SO there is little to the health sector per tax base.

  • Well literally hundreds of billions of dollars are wasted. They do too many tests not for the purpose of checking for the disease but more for personal profit because the doctors receive money when they use the machines. The other $210 billion is wasted on filing claims to try to get insurance companies to cover us.

  • Fail. they said the US spends more PER PERSON.

  • Wow! A news orginization that doesnt clamor for chaos?! Well Done.

  • I'm loving this. Not the negativity. But it's got the same sarcastic humor as the Daily Show, or the Colbert Report.

  • LOL good point pieextatic .. gonna make these 3 weeks of vacation bearable lol ...

  • Calling someone Hitler is disrespectful.

  • Unless you are nazi followers. If it sounds like socialism. And repeats hitlers policys. Then it must be hitler.. /:-^

  • hitler didn't practice socialism. FAIL! To point most industrialized countries have a form of social medicine, ie the Scandinavian countries, western europe, britian, canada. And their healthcare systems and population health is much better than the US's.

  • But the government ran the social medicine. And yeah he made it cheap for the country cost by not giving care to the old or retarded or people with cancer. those were euthanized it was cheaper to kill them then keep them alive. And population health in those countrys is not by health care. Its they are not poisoned everyday with toxins like in the states.

  • Squirrelbutt, Psst - Hitler was fascist, not socialist. Wrong end of the economic spectrum. And there was no treatment for cancer in the 1940's.

  • commentorx, Psst. They are all on the same side of the spectrum. And there is no cure or a real treatment for it now. Those people under nazi socialism useless eaters bill would be killed.

  • If you pause around 1:39 you can see that crazy WWII misquoting lady in blue is actually flipping the senator off.

  • connie: "my kids...would hug me."

    do you nigger kids even know you didn't go to a real college

  • we cant afford health care!!!

    i am 17 and all of you are spending all MY MONEY who will be stuck to pay this debt? me and my children thats who!!

    health care isn't a right. saying it is says you are garunteed the labor of others

    russia fell not from bullets but from debt why don't we remember that?

  • hey stupid. Blame bush.

  • hey baka blame the democrates tooo

    both of the parties played thier part in this the spend crazy democrates and the hypocritical repulbicans all of them are useless

    all of them lie and are currupt and all of you are stuck in your parites to regcognise that

  • Blame bush!!!!

  • Blame them all.

  • WHAT is up with the ads.... damn

  • To bad PJTV did this first.

    Week.

  • -1 for referencing Pajamas Media.

    -1 for misspelling "too".

    -1 for misspelling "weak".

    Three strikes and you're OUT.

  • Hillarious and brilliant! The mainstream media has only been showing the vocal minority, but it's nice to see that most people arn't as crazy as people would like you to believe.

  • Maybe you should sample all of the townhall meetings across america on you tube. Most are not happy.

  • I loved the sign the woman was holding up.. "2001.. God blue shield, 2003.. God breast cancer, 2005.. Got bankrupt.. THANKS FOR NOTHING"

    Great sign.

  • You won't see this on cable news.

  • Actually Current is Cable News. At least I've been watching it on DirecTV when it came out a couple of years ago.

    But yeah all the news channels play follow the leader and report the same issue from the same point of view just for ratings. But our people buy it.

  • Nope, Current is not cable news. CNN,FOX, HLN and MSNBC are Cable News, and that's what I was talking about. Current is very informative, I used to watch it a lot, I would call it more like mini documentaries, very short films, some made by viewers, which is a cool feature, but not a news network like the ones I mentioned above. If current tv is a news network, then the same could be said about the learning chanel, discovery, and others.

  • i dont understand this was in last wekend info mania WHY DO THEY PASTE IT HERE AGIN????

  • the media makes things look way over the top good reporting ben the real america showed up

  • Trillions spend on a war that got no where, but suddenly spending on medicare was too far???

    Awsome to see some reasonable protesters, i'll listen if you speak reasonably

  • If you haven't already noticed allot of people in this country are fucking morons hypocrites and just plane sheep.

  • Since trillions was deafening you wouldnt listen Eh? Id be complaining. Heres something reasonable to think about. We are so far into debt. We will not be able to borrow anymore to pay for anything. The jobs are gone and so is the tax base to funds projects. Government is growing beyond our ability to pay for it. The piper is going to be demanding payment.

  • Obama is doing the same thing clinton did, use medicare with the economy and look what happened then Cliniton was the only president in 20 years to create a Surplus. A 200 billion surplus! Bush spend that in a week.

  • THere is never a surplus when you owe trillions. And taking money out of social security funds to pay medicare. Didnt create a surplus it just made another part of our economy suffer in trade.

  • Obama has spent more in 8 months than Bush did in years. Clinton did not revert back to the Jimmy Carter Economy like Obama has.

    Remember Carter? ... next thing you know we have double digit inflation and the prime rate of 20%

    Ahhhh nostalgia

  • Ture true but aren't we in a double digit inflation now??? <---question i didn't check.

  • Actually, it is right on the line of no inflation at all. Some report it as a slight positive and some report it as a slight positive. This isn't anything yet!

  • There ya go Squirrel ... take it to a level they understand though ... your spouse loses their job, the income no longer covers the bills ... so let's not worry about another job, lets not keep the lights and all going .. lets increase our healthcare expense instead.

  • hahhah Ben, love you man :)
