  • well they are not gonna wake up because the people who own the media also own everything else ! ! when will you guys learn you just need to arrest 500 people at the tops of all the big corps and charge them all with treason and murder and terrorism charges

  • Be ready Asian women online  lushfmlk.info

  • mandate to buy must die,,,,mandate to buy must die,,,,mandate to buy must die....mandate to buy must die,,,chumps

  • They killed the Public Option because the insurance industry agreed to take over Medicare and Medicaid.

  • Been arguing that the health care bill was for insurance companies for months and all the pro health care wouldn't listen. Of course they want this reform it makes it illegal for people not to have insurance, the coverage by the gov option is going to cost tax payers $14,000 per family per year that it covers. As it stands now I pay 1/4 of that for decent coverage for my family, how is this better?

  • REPEAL the TAX & JAIL Mandate bill nobody ever wanted..

    & Send it back to "real" sentaors next time for a do-over..

    Happy New Year!

  • Kill the 3000 pg HC TAX & JAIL Trojan Horse Mandate Bill nobody wants..

    Kill thebill..

    Vote out the freaks....

    nobody wants it..

  • Who is this tehant1liberal. Number 1 his name doesn't make no sense. No. 2 he has no answers to the health care issue except portray it as nazism, which is ridiculous and just say no to any type of health care solution with him knowing that is a real problem to our country. No I'm wrong his answer is DIE QUICKLY!

  • mbagouty69: you say, "Number 1 his name doesn't make no sense". dude, your SENTENCE makes no sense. if something "doesnt make no sense" it means that it DOES make sense. i cant believe im trying to talk sense to a person who doesnt understand basic grammar. u probably think that I'M the moron. what a world we live in, where people come on youtube, make fools of themselves, and dont even realize it! congratulations, youve won hypocrite of the year.

  • you mean Obama is a flip flopping liar??

    oh, I'm so surprised!!!

  • @genie0390 What did he lie about specifically?

  • @SexSteakSoda watch out for this arsehole genie0390,this prick will sit all day and search for an argument.if he doesn't win an argument and he never has he'll sit forever on google searching your youtube name and posting things you already posted pretending he knows who you are.unbelievable trolling piece of shite with no life.

  • @scotsmaninusa Thanks for the heads up. I hate trolling pricks with no life like that genie0390 queer.

  • your use of the term "liberal" is confusing. To me, liberal means free markets and individualism - the antithesis of concentration camps. As far as health care, the real liberal solution would be to allow full interstate competition of health insurance.

  • Additionally, I never thought about ..what will happen to me if I get seriously sick because when I do, there is no way in hell I am not going to be treated or have to pay a single dime additionally for my treatment. This peace of mind is what insurance is for. I pay 230$ a month for my insurance.

  • I am from Germany and I am really amazed to the extend Americans are brainwashed through the cooperations. I have the freedom to buy public or private insurance and I think there would be a revolution here if someone would try to take that right away from us. But in the US a large portion of the population is actually fighting to not be able to choose between public and private. I really dont get it.

  • "The other big American conservative principal is supposed to be, hey compete, get out there. Private sector, if you think you can give better insurance than the government, prove it, cause if you have a better product, the American people will walk away from the government and they'll buy your product." ~12:00

    Really? Since when is business competing with the government a conservative American principal? These guys are a joke.

  • Obama Obama Obama doesn't do shyt. He gets his orders from the owners and his speeches are written for him

    Do people still think they have a say in a representative democracy?

    The fluoride is working better than expected.

  • The reason health insurance stocks went up is that savvy investors fully expected the people that represent the health insurance mafia to be rounded up and sent to Guantanamo for having done more damage to the US of A than bin Laden could ever even dream of.

    When that didn't happen, stocks went up.

    Simple. ;)

  • how can you people look at the photos of concentration camps and still think government run helath care is okay?

  • because that wasn't "government-run health care" you twit, that was the systematic relocation and (in some cases) execution of a group of people, HUGE DIFFERENCE, not even comparable

  • That was in poor taste.

  • I hope for you you are lobbyist for the health industry because otherwise you are a sad sad individual completely bainwashed by cooperations.

  • Excellent description! Thanks so much for posting this TYT! Now it's very clear in my mind!

  • That dude sounds like John Mccain.........

  • No Kidding! I was waiting for him to bust out, "my friends" the whole time! lol

  • Almost. This guy is missing some "my friends"

  • So... what happens if you're unemployed? You get slammed with the penalty anyway?

  • < makes about 20 grand a year... what happens to me?

  • FLIP FLOP AGAIN

  • We need to stop fighting over crumbs.& not enough people have realized the bigger picture:the meal is gone.A metaphor for the public option would now be a 1/6 of a slice of bread. We're still trying to cut it into portions or compromise & be "bipartisian";when the whole original slice is gone(what Obama promised)& republicans'ill be still stubborn asses until theres nothing left. Less than 1% of the country having choice.

    Im noticing a trend.Obama is looking less & less like candidate Obama.

  • It boils down to the government forcing every single one to buy really REALLY expensive insurance, or an extremely big penalty on top of all the high taxes that people are subjected to now & all of that will not cover your medical expenses, because of the penalty, these mandate a this point could be translated into the so called DEATH PANNELS, I think in [the land of the free] should not exist such an arbitrary government mandate as giving your money to the corporations period

  • Ha. I like the last comment Cenk made. Its so true

  • This mandate is what these "Birthers" and "Tea Bagger" lunatics should protest about in the nation's capital. They're talking about a public option being a government takeover of health? What about forcing people to purchase health insurance? The hypocrisy and stupidity is just unbearable!

  • It amazes me that these republicans have no problem spending billions on wars but not on social programs. But the reason they dont is because (and I hate to say it) is there are a lot of African Americans who use alot of social programs and guys like Hannity, LIMBAUGH and Beck WANT ALL WHITES TO KNOW THAT BARACK OBAMA IS A BLACK PRESIDENT WHOSE ABOUT TO TAKE YOUR TAX MONEY AND YOUR HEALTHCARE AND MAKE SURE THAT ALLLLL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE IT. SIMPLE AS THAT. Thats what they mean when they talk

  • mandate that all americans have too buy private insurance... (someone scream free america plz, the conservatives should be doing this, they like their freedom, if the cons are having a "no mandate" rally i'll join'em) ... sure i bet premiums go down for a year, wanna bet they go up just as fast?

  • mean while i have universal care GIVEN too me, paid for by the people i share my country with, and if i earn enough i can get private care for luxury health care, faster, nicer and quieter.

    the private companies can continue making money, i won't be left out in the cold.

    My crazy talk:

    people say 2012 is end of the world time, maybe americans will just wake up too the fascist corporations behind the government, then the fascists will use their fascist army NATO too keep control. crazy over.

  • DanoDanny- I don't think your crazy talk was crazy at all.

    Well, at least there's something to part of what you said. With the fascist corporations. Just watch videos from TheNorthWatch.

    As for 2012, something could happen. But it could be just a random year.

  • I had a strange rash last week. Went to the doctor, got some cream, put my mind at ease, walked out 20 dollars poorer including medicine.

    Thank GOD I don't live in you guys' evil backwards country.

  • why would the mandate reduce prices? Won't the insurance companies still charge more for old people (like they do now)?

    It seems like the mandate:

    1. makes no sense

    2. is so unpopular with voters that it can be used in a campaign ad

    3. is extremely popular on capitol hill

    If we had any real journalists, they'd be looking into whether there's large-scale bribery occurring here.

  • Have a rational disagreement with Obama? You're a racist.

  • usually im a democratic liberal on this kind of stuff but dude OBAMA GET YOUR FUCKING ASS IN GEAR! seriously At this rate your going to leave of with a bunch of CHANGE

  • All I really need to say to Obama.

    SLOW DOWN!!!!!!

  • how could he go any slower? He's not doing anything right now. We've done stimulus spending and cash for clunkers, which isn't what I voted for. Everything else that he said he'd do and was capable of doing, he's just pretended to try to be bipartisan about and therefore nothing has changed. Have you noticed a drastic difference in everyday living between Obama and Bush? I haven't, because he's not getting anything passed.

  • im from england and the public healthcare is so much more conveniant than being forced to buy private, its borderline facism. a government forcing someone to buy a product.....buy this coke....no i dont have enough money.............NO BUY THIS COKE!

  • shouldnt this show be called "the fat turk" because thats all i ever see here and TYT nation = retarded fail

  • RJ has the weirdest facial expression when he looks at Cenk. It's like he's disgusted by what Cenk is saying. lol

  • It's interesting that you brought up cola/soda/pop, because before President Obama..Democrat Presidents had Coca-Cola in the White House and Republican presidents chose Pepsi. Interestingly, Pepsi endorsed President Obama. Just throwing that out there.

  • Corporations WON! They had Obama and the Congress in their pockets.

    Universal Mandated Insurance=HUGE profits for the Insurance Companies

  • Hahah, "You better take your government hands off my public option" Lol

  • real fascism is when there's no public option, but there's a public mandate...that's when i say to the government,

    "FUCK YOU!"

  • Where's the idiot right-wing extremist clown hall disrupters now? They bitch and moan about the very idea of any government run health care, even it it's just an option... but yet the prospect of being forced to buy private insurance... ohhhhh that's perfectly alright! Shows what a bunch of phonies, hypocrites, and insurance company shills they really are. This is class warfare. The criminal-run health industry is spending $1M+/day on ads and corporate donations to fight single-payer insurance.

  • Geeze, $65,000 a year would be nice! I get by on $39,000 a year and I support a family of 5. And I still have to pay $300 a month for insurance that only gives me $2200 of coverage a year.

  • hate adds by google

  • americans are dumb

  • Americans, the imbecile race..

  • you're form America hypocrite

  • I may live in American, but trust me, my mentality is not with the weak minded american people..

    anyone who is with this two party system is an imbecile & should be put to sleep..

    It is this two party system who is keeping u behind from true glory.

    Its sad 2 think Americans have been these gullible creatures who believe Republicans or Democrats R doing anything 2 secure a bright future for your children, because fuck your life, you are a slave due to the debt you allowed them to put u in.

  • oh yes we are all slaves, and im sure 911 elven was an inside job along with the moon landing being faked. you conspiracy people make my day sometimes

  • What conspiracy? idiot, believe what you want, know that fact is you been robbed blind right before your eyes by the federal reserve.. stupid fuck..

  • no, um i haven't been robbed by the federal reserve. how did they rob me? did they take money out of my bank account? i hope you enjoy your life, sitting by your computer trying to spread bullshit, whining and not doing anything about it, pointing fingers at things because other people tell you to. Get a life

  • LOL

    YOU see! here we have a clear picture, a perfect example why Americans are stupid as fuck!

    LMAO

    hey silly fuck, tell me they taught you how the monetary system work here in the US.. why did they stop playing school house rocks on ABC? did they realize that it might give children the idea to change the pathetic rules to take away your tax money? are you questioning where its going and to who does it profit? has the Federal Reserve ever been audited? PLEASE ANSWER ME IDIOT!

  • you still didn't explain to me how the federal reserve robbed me. and yes, i acknowledge that they have never been audited, i acknowledge the fact you still don't do anything about it. you seem to be the one who cares so much, go so something about it. or, no, you would just rather sit behind you computer and play tough guy. grow up

  • Corporations won! Obama and the Congress are in their pockets.

    Mandated Insurance = Lots of profits for Insurance Co.

  • How could American politicians screw up something as simple as universal healthcare, mandate clauses, insurance? WTF? Could they not just copy the UK or Canadas buisness model y'know successful working models.

  • Because the majority of politicians are bought by the corporations.

  • No Cost Control mechanism (Strong"Pubic Option") + "Individual &Employer Mandate" +Fines (Fee) = Hundred Billion Bail Out/Stimulus Bill for Private Insurance Industry

    It's as simple as pie.

  • Could it be that now Obama has flipped and will mandate that an American does not have a choice - they must buy health insurance. The shock-jocks are going to run with this and stoke their crazed followers to do something nuts. I guess that's what it will take to get the connections between the politicians and the corporations brought into the light.

    These are sad times

  • The only reason I want this bill to die is because of the mandate clause. There is no way I could afford private insurance at $250/mo even with a government handout. There is no way you can demand that people buy unaffordable insurance WHEN YOU DON"T FIX THE SYSTEM. Capping malpractice claims and preventing them from covering you if you have a disorder DOESN'T REDUCE COSTS!! Sorry you failed the people who voted for you, and you failed the American People as a whole.

  • I live in Massachussetts. Romneys little project sucks. It would be more expensive to get insurance (even through the state) Than to pay the fine. I take care of a family member and get a small (living) stipend for doing so. Looking into the program last tax time it would cost more for the state option than the fine (which I am not eligible for because I do not make enough money.) I can't imagine that the tax isn't a burden on the majority of families below poverty

  • People who buy health care stocks when knowing that THEY are the main reason that seeing a doctor is so expensive as they have to show a profit to share holders, are scum.

  • The trouble is, if you pay into a pension plan, your fund manager is probably buying those shares for you with your money right now. We are all complicit in this sort of thing, to a greater or lesser degree, I'm afraid.

  • so, could everyone drop their insurance and take the public option?

  • AS if being a gay person is a bad thing? What planet do you live on ddm584? OH I KNOW . YOu live in Fox land :)

  • well i bet u live in san francisco, aka homo land

  • Nice contribution.  Well done.

  • Correlation does not imply causation.

  • I am glad this guy is aroun againn I always liked RJ.

  • I love it when Jenk says the Government is here to protect us. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If that was the case Social Security wouldn't be Bankrupt. Medicaid and Medicare wouldn't be Bankrupt. Just funny to me that he can be that naive.

  • Umm... the military?

  • SS is bankrupt? REALLY!? Is THAT WHY MY MOM GETS 400 bucks every month ON TIME EVERY TIME! Stop watching fox dude! Get some facts in your brain!

  • Single payer it will eventually be, It's inevitable. Give it 1 or 2 election cycles. It will be the private insurance vs the rest of the country.

  • Perhaps the demand from progressives should change from "no bill without a public option" to "no mandate without a public option." The reason is this: no matter what we won't be able to block a bill; the House Dems will eventually yield and accept a bill with no public option. But maybe there is a chance we can prevent the complete disaster of a mandate without a public option, so at least the bill does a lot less *harm* than it would otherwise.

  • Comment removed

  • The public option only covers like one percent, if you have insurance now you wont be able to buy it. I love how all you people have not realized that the public option that was originally pitched by obama has been off the table for about a month now.

  • this entire video is about how we're UNLIKELY to get the public option and about how corporate america is going to fuck us all over. you are preaching to the wrong choir and i wish you would stop.

  • So it'll be so good and cheap that so many people will like it enough to buy it, it will put the other, inefficient and expensive companies out of business? And... how is that a bad thing?

    And before you bring up that "people affected by it DON'T LIKE IT" crap, he was talking about the current proposed plan of a mandate, and a tax penalty of $3800 for not buying private insurance (at an estimated cost of $14,000).

  • i hate my own dick

  • At the end he means 15 million and not 5 because the US population is around 300 million people. 5% = 15 million.

  • could you please post a link to the articles by R.J.?

    thank you

  • I won't personally subsidize an industry (my taxes aside) that has grown fat off the suffering of others. If there is no public option, I'll take the religious exemption. Fuck 'em.

  • I only support the mandate if the people who don't/can't get health insurance and are then taxed and those taxed dollars go to cover them by the public option. Then no one goes without.

  • i dont think it is scary at all to have health insurance be mandatory for everyone. why? because even if you dont have insurance, people cant let you die. someone has to pay for your health care when you get in trouble even if you are uninsured.

    when health insurance is mandatory for everyone it just means that the responsibility is shared by everyone.

  • it is not scary to be mandatory. but the scary part is when there are only private options and people will just be squeezed.

  • im very pro obama but 100% against making everyone be health insured.

  • so who pays for the health care of uninsured people? consequently youd have to let them die. is that really what you are for?

  • if that includes you. yeah let em die. than this planet won't be so overpopulated with jackasses like you

  • In Colorado Medicare offers private plans and Access, a state sponsored plan. Most people still opt for the private.

  • The mandate is a terrible idea. It is a regressive tax. Takes control away from the individual.

  • so you want to give the individual the choice: health insurance vs dying when you dont have money for lifesaving care when you get in trouble. in other words you would advocate people that cant afford health care dying from their injury/sickness IF they dont have money to pay for the care.

  • yes! This is why I watch TYT; I am learning something.

    Thanks Cenk, please do more segments like this and less ones about celebrity trivia

  • It's not possible to lower health cost without a mandate.

  • I live in MA....Our Insurance costs are the highest in the country. We have a socialist health care system, a little different than what the reform bill out there that WILL PASS...

    If MA has the most expensive health insurance cost, imagine it being that all over the U.S. Might as well pull the plug on this country!

    SEE HOW WELL THE FREE HEALTH CARE THING WENT IN INGLEWOOD MOUTHS BACK!? JEEEZ

    RON PAUL 2010! 2012! ASAP!

  • bullshit. obama came out like a pussy and folded over everything that mattered.

    the stocks shot up cuz he basically said it wasnt gonna happen

  • We only have only party in this company ... the Corporate Party.

    Somebody better get Ventura ...

  • RON PAUL! Somebody that has a face and the balls!

  • America will never vote for Ron Paul ... I like the dude ... not everything do I agree with ... but he's got the charisma of a Perch ... You need a Ventura or someone with some TV appeal ... RP is too easy to fluster ... how do you think Repubs went for Palin ... she was a MILF ... dumb as a post ... but that didn't seem to matter ...

  • I see what your saying about Dr. Paul. I like Mr. Venture just as much, they both get it. Most of the people did vote for Ron Paul, I know most wont believe that because of what the TV and other corp. sponsored or mainstream influenced pundits, polls and such, say.

    Anybody that deffends their time to speak and has a mouth full of DIFFERENT things to say will get more attention from people that are looking for something different...

  • Think about it. A relatively unknown Black man with an Arabic-Islamic name during a time of heighten anti-Islamic sentiment becomes President. This didn't raise any alarms?

    virtually no public record. The fastest track to the Presidency ever in a nation with a history of LEGAL and INSTITUTIONAL racism!

    He was an agent of the Oligarchs from the beginning.

    U been had.

    I voted for Ron Paul in my state primary and for Cynthia McKinney in the general election.

    He is the Corporate Man.

  • You think Obama is terrible and so you voted for... Cynthia McKinney? Seriously? I don't agree with Ron Paul on some things, but I don't think he's stupid or crazy. McKinney is both. Her various outbursts in Congress and in the press, come on. It's fine if you don't like Obama, but you lose any intellectual credibility by believing conspiracy theories, and voting for McKinney.

  • Well said.

  • Ron Paul would have sold us all to the corporations without thinking twice

  • Hes the man with the plan...

  • From the day Alan Greenspan (a devotee of Ayn Rand) became Chair of the Fed Reserve We the People have been victimised by the biggest embezzlement of our national and personal treasury then in the history of market economies.

    Ayn Rand preached self-interest and now these Teabaggers r carrying her banner.

    Screw the people in the name of the corporate or oligarchic elements which control them.

    Obama could not have gotten this far unless he was their agent.

    U have been hoodwinked.

  • I ain't buying shit from the US Govt. I have not had healthcare insurance since 1997.

    Aspirin can fix most of what goes wrong. it truly is a wonder drug. I will look up my own symptoms, make my own diagnosis, read the treatment plans and let nature heal me or kill me.

    This does not address why millions of Americans with dual insurance, private and Medicare get treated like shit in hospitals. Or those elderly laying in their own piss in nursing homes charging more than $1000/month 4 it.

  • Tariff on Chinese tires - Put a bow and ribbon on Obama because he has been bought and paid for by the Unions.

  • Oh will u shut up?

    Obama is not 4 any union. The unions have been consistently stabbed in the back by Obama.

    The Unions have no interest in bailing out Bank of America and AIG. Shut the fuck up.  He's following Reagan and Bush in union busting.

    Your racism is clouding ur vision because u see a Black man who seems Liberal but cannot see he's following a Corporate agenda.

  • If people do not like Obama's policies they are autimatically labled a racist.?

  • Obama was supported by the Unions because they were fooled what their blindness based on his race and approach. U r confused by his race too.

    No pro-Union President would have retained Bush's Sec, of Defense.

    Its business as usual but u can't see beyond his race so u r reacting as if Jesse Jackson were president.

    He's a Fascist Corporatist. He is the agent of Banking and Insurance interest.

    Please look beyond his race and ur simpleton negative views on Unions.

  • This is a Bailout of the Health Insurance industry.

    Biden was a shrill for corporations based in Delaware. He was a rubber stamp for banks and credit card industries as senate.

    They sold the working class a bill of goods but people should have realised Obama is a Corporate agent when he chose Biden.

    He stiffed his preacher.

    He stiffed Richardson.

    What possible reason is a Senator from Delaware VP? What's in Delaware?

    The Resident Agency of the biggest US corporations!

  • Gee here you'd think you'd support preserving American jobs instead of us constantly sending our money to China & other foreign countries but hey I guess one would be wrong to think that.

  • Maybe we should ban all trade. The problem is trade barriers do not work. We want to be a high tech country,. Obama is pumping Solar. So what can the Chinese do. Stop import of US solar equipment. which costs US jobs. Trade barriers is one of the things that caused teh great depression to last so long. Change does nott mean 1930 policies

  • Trade barriers don't work because we aren't self sufficient...but we could be. We can make solar panels/equipment (job creation right there) and I'm pretty sure we already do. But of course there's that pesky problem of Americans who wont work for slave wages hence jobs go overseas. I guess it comes down to do you want cheap shit to buy or are you more concerned with re-investing (by buying American) in your own citizens instead of sending your money to other countries.

  • So you kind of are racist huh? I mean you are proposing to throw thousands of Chinese works out onto the street to save a few hundred American jobs correct? And at the same time each American has the priveldege of spending more for tires. heck this is money we might have used for health care

  • No. Don't get that Americans can never compete with other countries in an open system? There will always be some country somewhere with workers willing to work for less than Americans.

  • Santa flies in with free toys on Dec 24. Obama orders his sleigh shot down. Why? He is providing free gifts to kids. The gifts should have been manufactured in the US by Union members and children should have been forced to buy them. By shooting down Santa Obam has saved American jobs.

    Plus as a racist, Obama hates Chinese.

  • The so-called healthcare reform is just a cleverly disquised bailout of the health insurance industry which like others in the industry took massive losses in their investment portfolios of speculative assets. Insurance companies have massive investments in commercial and industrial real estate for example. So after fixing AIG the Obama Admin and Congress, all of it with few exceptions are now bailing out healthcare insurances.

  • Coke or Pepsi? A genius move. Obama wants health care reform, but his definition of reform is 'interesting'. The shock-jocks are gaining to have a field-day with his hypocrisy about mandates.

  • I make maybe 14000 a year. my medications are completely necessarily for me to be any good to anybody and I can barely afford them. come on dude. just gimme the OPTION...

  • obama's lost it.

  • damn that Obama, forcing me to rot my teeth with coke! ;o Then force me to have a dental plan to repair those teeth, then drink more coke.. evil genius...

  • more people think that the mass law is crazier and stupider then they r saying

  • trying to get by on $70,000? Holy shit he must not worry about insurance if 70 a year is "trying to get by"

  • $70k a year isnt allot dude depending on where you live. NY, DC, Cali espeically, CT, etc.

  • yes, but when ur in the rest of the country and max income for ur area 100 then 70 is higher than most. I know you can make that working at McD's in NYC but if you don't like blowing it on living in the city you can always move to jersey. If the insurance is going to cost 3800 on top of tax increases then screw that, I'll stick with my BCBS (big cash bandit sluts)

  • i agree but o well

  • I make $70k and live in DC. Its certainly enough to live somewhat comfortably, but I'm extremely far from rich. And I'm single and childless. I'd be pretty hardup if I had a family.

  • that buying insurance or fined is fucked up shit it makes me want to move to canada that is y i hate mass so much and im living in mass right now

  • lol now they got Rj and JayR at the young turks

  • You read it here first:

    The individual mandate for health insurance is most likely unconstitutional and will be challenged in court.

  • The country is so far too the right that "supporters for the Public Option" are sadly written off as "radical leftists." If Americans were truly political moderate, this would be the position of our elected officials. Ideally, conservative Republicans should actually be in favor of the Public Option. Blue dog Democrats (or centrists) should really be for Single Payer National Health Insurance. Progressive Democrats (or the liberal left) should favor a UK style National Health Service.

  • exactly PsychoPunk!! it's insane

  • 2%-3% is noise for stocks. The question is how much volume was there? Are they trending? etc

    Give me a break,

    I like TYT.... But this is lunacy.

  • I disagree, 3% I think can be news driven. 1% -2% can be genral market feeling. Under 1% I would say be noise. We have to see how it swings to say over a a few days average to really see if its noise.

    I don't think the link is absurd, it has been made clear buying health insurance will probably be made law.

  • The point is, if we had real meaningful health reform (the kind that will actually help Americans)

    The stock of Health insurance companies would be in free fall, not moving up even a little.

  • U r right. America cant do the Euro-plan because those countries do not cultivate a sick populace for the benefit of corporate profit and loss statements.

    There is no commercial incentive in the USA for a healthy America. Heart Disease, Diabetes and Renal Failure are growth industries. Our foreign policy is working hard to spread the cause of these conditions globally thus setting up new markets for these corporate vampires to take advantage of.

    USA was founded as a Tobacco plantation.

  • I disagree strongly with much of what you say but I have to admit you raise some good points.

    "America cant do the Euro-plan because those countries do not cultivate a sick populace for the benefit of corporate profit"

    "There is no commercial incentive in the USA for a healthy America."

    Those two issues are serious problems with our system.

  • SERIOUSLY, FUCK GOOGLE ADS

    If Obama actually makes Romneycare national he should forget about having a second term.

  • I'll second that

    I worked for the Obama campaign, but if he can;t deliver, fine I'll find someone who can.

    I didn't think Obama would stop the corporations from phucken us, but I thought he would at least make them use some KY and offer the occasional reach around.

  • Ventura/Paul 2012!

  • Ventura yes...Paul NOOOO!

  • People are poorly educated... every conservative argument I hear is...the budget the budget you idiot! You spend hard liberal.... *sigh* they are so close minded they don't understand the difference between the public option and Universal healthcare.

    Universal healthcare over time would have saved the government much cash is the greatest irony....
