Health Insurance Companies

[phillipmarch22]

Fuck health insurance companies. Now that the affordable health care act was passed, they are raising rates drastically. That is what the GOP gets for wanting to make private health insurance companies part of the package. Whoever thinks they like their health insurance company hasn't had cancer or needed heart surgery. And how can anyone that works at a PH insurance company sleep at night?

[TonikHealthInsurance]

nice information boss.........

[thereinliestherib]

Yep, never mind that the insurance companies stand to make billions of dollars off of democratic insurance mandates, severe buying restrictions, and gerrymandered coverage requirements. Never mind that 75% of the country is obese/overweight, skyrocketing pool risk that is the REAL reason HC costs are so high in this country. Never mind facts, ye scapegoating baby boomer relics of the sixties!

[MLP88]

If you've known the work of this man for 3 or more decades, and his tutorial demonstration of Critical Thinking Skills to us all, what must he think about us in the 4th quarter of his life?

He always makes big corporations, politicians and greed the Boogyman. Not the American voter. Not the unregistered Americans. Not the 30% turnouts on election days.

How does he keep caring for a nation and not point out our own failures? There is only one Ralph. We have him. And we squandered him.

[FIXWCBCANADA]

Evil insurance corps' influence over the entire medical - legal system is clear all accross Canada where critically injured patient claimants with significant insurance interests are systematically prevented compensation, early/any diagnosis and treatment and subject to medical - legal attrition, malpractice and malfeasance.

Such injuries only do well if caught early; the prescription of highly addictive pain medication causes them to become chronic/fatal. An insidious/inevitable death sentence.

[thoughtsurfer1]

This country is too stupid to vote for this brilliant guy.

[BoomerNavy70]

Politics; Interesting.

Healthcare Discussions; Fascinating

Obama getting ready to stick a big one right up the asses of the insurance companies....PRICELESS.

[TheVoiceofUSA]

God bless you Ralph!

Rock star! The only one who's talking it straight -- again!

You've only just begun to help the nation. Keep the faith, brother.

[nohealthcare62]

Today @ the Town Hall meeting a lady had Cancer and a Tumor Pres.Obama said he would help ! I was sprayed with malithion for 7 yrs in Tn and The Dept of Human Services say's I dont Qualify like the lady today ! PLEASE HELP ME SLAO MR PRESIDENT I am only 46 yrs young I dont want to DIE !HR 676 Now!

[briggs9187]

I have a question....why can we not pay insurance coverage under a government program that is cheaper to begin with and all be covered, no gaps and no denial for previous medical issues? My point is I am willing to pay for insurance as long as I am covered, I hate that bull copay and on top of it only covers 80% so...I think the Government can help its people...why not this way?

[tazru333]

Insurance is the problem, they are middle-men who add no value to your Health Care. There are great savings to be had if we concentrate on providing health care, and spend less money on the paper-shufflers.

[briggs9187]

wow, you took the words of my mouth....that is exactly what is going on, one thing that we all need to see is that "Insurance Companies" are a business, they look out after their money not the people paying into it or the sick for that matter

[InFromTheVoid]

@tazru333

hear ya on that. All we got to do it boycott the insurance co. No gov. even needed on that one.

[LemonMeringue49]

I am worked for Obama but I gave Nader money because he needs to keep talking. He speaks the truth as only someone who does not expect to be elected can. He worked in Washington for years and knows exactly how it works.

Nader is the real deal. An honorable man. Watch "An Unreasonable Man" and you too will be a Nader fan.

[josephdupont]

i'm glad that I voted for you ralph.

[alexapollo22]

I just wear Alex Chiu's immortality rings and H have no health problems what so ever. No health insurance needed.

[JohnAngren]

Yeah... Thats sounds like shit ;)

[Penguins23Steelers]

Nader would make a great President. As far as all these predatory private health insurance companies goes. Well, they're just a bi product of the corrupted predatory, unregulated capitalist system. They need to go. They're obsolete. They're a detriment to society as a whole.

[aviomaster]

-- Democratic party and Republican party ,, 2 party system is not a democracy.

[netinsurancequote]

No More Pay Or Die plans!

Vote Nader /Gonzalez 2008

[TimLoganKnows911623]

One payer system is the only way to go.

Private health insurance is a private tyranny that only exists in United States. It's a rather barbaric system that tells you you're health is only worth what you can afford.

People in United States should get behind, and support, HR 676. If you don't know what it is learn about it! GM & Ford are going bankrupt because of the rising cost of health care. If United States had single-payer system, the companies wouldn't have to worry about it.

[sergiovontrudhe]

Don't waste your vote on a blowout, vote for Nader!

[smartgirl63]

[travelfar22]

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrat/Republican partY = THEY the CORPORATION$

[travelfar22]

>Do the FIREMEN ask you if you have fire insurance before they put out the fire!?

>Does a SCHOOL ask you if you have education insurance?

>Do POLICE ask you if you have police insurance before responding?

answer: >NO and it's Government run.

>HEALTH is what we value most, and should be at the top of that list!

[travelfar22]

The MAJORITY of Americans want Single-Payer.

Relying on an "industry" as the health care system is now,

assures you will be considered a mere NUMBER!

Listen to what Nader is saying in the video.

We The People want Single-Payer like Canada!

>18,000 Americans WILL DIE next year who lack access

to health care with our present health care "industry"!

Vote Nader/Gonzalez 08!

[AssilemakaMelissa]

No More Pay Or Die plans!

Vote Nader /Gonzalez 2008!

[travelfar22]

No more Pay-Or-Die health Care System!

We Want Single-Payer like Canada!

NADER/Gonzalez = WE the PEOPLE

Democrats and Republicans = THEY the CORPORATIONS

* They're blocking him from debating because they're quite scared!

* "Spoiler" is a politically bigoted word used by the opposing

parties to keep the independents out of the race.

* The two headed Democrat and Republican monster is not

to be trusted as they've proven over and over!

[catonmykeyboard]

We must act together now to stop the decay...Vote for Nader! No more settling for the lesser of two evils - we need an honest President with the courage to act in America's best interests.

[nycistanbul]

Ron Paul should do what Nader did; get out of the system parties and provide more options. I know people who will votge for Nader and those who would vote for Ron Paul.

[Blackshayde]

This is so painful to watch because we will never see this brilliant, courageous man as President because he's not a cowardly, corporate sell-out like all Democracts and Republicans are.

[StratusBlue]

Free Trade and Privatization are nice sounding phrases but Americans need to realize that free trade means slave-made products allowed into the USA to destroy both domestic labor and production. Privatized essential government responsibility is a shirking of responsibility to unsworn vultures. When you hear the term free trade, think of it as slave trade. When an international calls something free, they mean THEY are free to enslave You. They would castrate America and call it free sex.

[StratusBlue]

Yes, the insurance companies are middlemen that steer programs into their own spiderweb of banking. The Federal Reserve is a classic example of our government out sourcing what it is designed to do. Insurance middlemen, the Federal Reserve banks and Blackwater type war middlemen have sucked our nation dry intentionally crippling our sovereign right as a nation to be independent of the biggest enemy of all: international corporate slavers. Those international slavers penetrate our markets freely.

[paulp1021]

The American HMO and private health insurance industry is as much a criminal enterprise as the Oil industry. Nader, Kucinich, Mike Gravell, and Cynthia McKinney rocks! We need true populists and progressives like Nader to lead our country.

[dave777blaster]

Ralph Nader has fought hard for Americans over the years.

where does he stand on 911 though?

[nportillo73]

Nader wants an independent commission to investigate the many questions surrounding those plane crashes. He said the other one was far-from non-biased.

[nowellian]

Support Nader/Gonzalez for president and make it a three way race!

votenader08

[Endza50]

Mr. Ralph Nader is absolutely right.

[fishheatcats]

"...the least worst is just not good enough anymore."

That's all you need to know right there. GO RALPH!!

[80jvc88]

I'd love to catch up with Western Europe in this regard.

[0613162k]

We're going backwards in Britain. They keep spending the money dragging us into war they've been privatising our NHS which was one of the things many were most proud of in Britain, especially seeing the system in the US. Privatisation has created a 2 teir system with good doctors moving into the better paid jobs, and causes hospitals to be at risk of closing if they don't attract enough patients as if they were customers. We need Nder here in Britain aswell to set us back on the right track.

[DissentDispute]

I am a great admirer of Ralph Nader's philosophy, but I'm concerned with how he's spewing nuances about the Democratic party in this video; which gives light to the publics concern of how he's aiding the Republican party and doing them a favor. I still think that he and others like Matt Gonzalez and other affiliated Independents are an important role in reforming the role of our bureaucratic and failing government.

[TheStallion3]

Barack Obama's healthcare plan, at least what it was during the primaries, was essentially a universal insurance program, except it is government subsidizing insurance companies. Profit in health care should simply not exist. The whole point of company is to make a profit. That means more money if care is denied. Does that make any sense? We pay more per capita than all the other countries with universal healthcare, which is all industrialized nations. Except the United States.

[robotbilly]

I get your point, but even here in the SF Bay Area, there seems to be such unquestioning allegiance to "hope" and "change". These so-called nuances need to be debated openly. I'd like to see a detailed rebuttal. Friends say "face it, Nader's not going to win and we can't have four more years..." etc. These friends never acknowledge the Democratic Party's influence by corporations (in this case, taxes subsidizing health insurance companies) or the kinds of issues Ralph raises in this clip.

[DissentDispute]

I understand completely.I agree that accountability is not being met by the Democratic party.The only thing that is met are the agenda of each major party,which is why I support Independents and opening up the debates.Its so frustrating to know that the Media wont open up the debates becuz it will dilute the polarization of RED Vs BLUE,LEFT Vs RIGHT, GOAT Vs ELEPHANT,LIE Vs LIAR. They want to dumb down the daily news and then give us closed contrived debates.Watch them ask irrelevant questions.

[BonnevilleBoy]

Harry Truman said it best when he said, "When Democrats run as Republicans - they lose."

As usual, Ralph Nader is absolutely right. The Democratic Party has not only betrayed the American people, they've betrayed their historic traditions and principles. This is the year for real change - no more Democrats or Republicans in the Oval Office! Vote for Ralph and Matt and take our country back from the corporations and the corporate-controlled two party duopoly.

Go Nader/Gonzalez '08!

[Modeltrainguy]

Obama & McCain would NEVER endorse "Single Payer Healthcare".

Vote Nader/Gonazalez! REAL Change You Can Believe In.
