  • Typically American..

  • 1-19-2010 the face of Massachusetts politics changed. This arrogant political hack will be next.

  • I really admire the congresswoman's composure against what is sometimes an unruly mob. The woman crying over her parents with Blue Cross is either an actress paid by the insurance industry or a complete idiot in need of some good drugs- she should see a mental health provider.

  • Sounds to me like Wishard Advantage [a primary care/medi-care insurance covers medical ,dental,*eye even thou they tell you your limited * your covered with co pay! offered to all unemployed to employed !

    ( Wishard Hospital Indy, In ) has the same dam thing available to everyone on a sliding scale . and you wait and wait and wait for care , *maybe !* unfortunitly to many ppl die in this hospital and its the hospitals fault !

  • I think this congress woman is brainwashed and actually believes she is trying to help people by passing this bill

  • Not true. They're avoiding early detection by not going to the doctor because they can't afford it.

  • Govt. managed HC plan in Britain led expansion of their system such that it is now the 3rd largest employer (after Chinese army and Indian Railways). Any talk about change to remove inefficiencies leads to talks about loss of livelihood/jobs. We DONT want to link quality of HC with loss of livelihood. U cannot provide the best since that may involve removing off inefficient departments. A double whammy! Thats downright immoral.

  • Market controlled healthcare systems are competitive by nature. Hence the number of innovations/breakthroughs from those systems are far more in number than from state-controlled ones. The govt. controlled health-care programs always end up squeezing the private programs by havingthose deficit-financed/subsidized in the first few years and thus kill all competition. The best example is that of the govt.-managed British health-care system.

  • Obama clearly mentioned that he either will introduce newtaxes or get the money from other avenues for any universal plan. Americans pay enough in taxes, how an added tax can help?

    The govt. managed programs like Medicare, etc have proven to be financially not sustainable. Given this and the track-record of govt. performance of managing health-care for the last 40+ years, how can the govt. role be promoted to handle health-care for all Americans?

  • Prayer & Protest in DC 9/12

    See you all there

    End the INSURGENCY PRESIDENCY

  • Support this bill:

    H.R. 2520:

    2009-2010 Patients' Choice Act

  • Wait the entire Insurance Corps are owned by some of the same banks that are taking all the TARP MONEY, so they end the Insurance system and keep all the money they keep anyway. Catch 22

  • I was a single MOM and I had a LIVING WILL, I also had a COOP of Doctors that I paid my primiums to the COOP and me and my son never did without care, I had 3 surgeries on cervical cancer 21 yrs ago and I didn't take Chemo, you have a choice and vote with your voice.

  • BOOO!!!!! PATIENTS SHOULDNT BE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THEIR CHOICES BOOOOO!!!!!! lmao

  • loved the crying girl in the green blouse-when all else fails bring out the young girls and let em start crying

  • goes to show you how stupid some americans are to not want a health care system that would give everyone a fighting chance

  • Millions of dollars from the stimulus package were given to prisoners, and welfare recipients. How can those who are already on the government dole, and can't help themselves stimulate the economy?

  • you get em, you crazy rednecks.

    let em know how mad and foamy at the mouth you actually are.

    stomp around, shout and get red in the face over attempts to fix a broken healthcare system, simply because its the subconsciously-implanted bidding of your corporate masters.

    its quite entertaining, and it assures you will not win another election for quite some time to come.

    thank you!

  • obama is evil and corrupt

  • obama is a clear and present danger to america ---keep the pressure up --defeat the socialist obamacare

  • Liberals are so evil and corrupt! They want everyone to do what THEY want! They are taking freedom and choices away from us! The guy at 5:30 needs to die b/c this is what he is asking for! Why would you want the government in anyone's life? Man! Crazy leftist liberals want complete control over everyone!!! I think this country should just split up. They can have their chaos and government police state!

  • The amount of money spent by the out of control congress for nothing was enough to give every american a million dollars. They should have done that then everyone can afford insurance! They could have paid off every mortgage in the country and that would have helped. But instead they want us to be their slaves! "F" the NWO!

  • Very good point! $787 BILLION was wasted on Friend of Obama... and now they want to raise OUR taxes to pay for it. They could have given us all that money to pay for insurance.

  • xylin3: Govt bankrupts everything it touches, and next will be rationing. Get a brain won't you?

  • Americans are so STUPID - There were Medicare Aged people holding up signs "NO GOVERNMENT IN MY HEALTHCARE"  and ? who did they think runs MEDICARE????? two old ladies on roller skates in Jersey???? DUMB AMERICANS !!!!!!

  • Not Dumb, exploited. there's a world of difference.

  • You mean like the ACORN goons who are paid to disrupt these meetings?

  • You wish ACORN was ANYTHING like what United Health Care is pulling.

    We got the dirt on you, all you got is talking points and making something out of nothing.

  • But you aren't forced to have it and I don't want it either! You are stupid if you think this will work!

  • The left just does not get it.... Why on Earth would anyone what more federal government intrusion in their lives?!

  • Really? It is okay to intrude in the lives of gays and pregnant women and dont give them choices but not okay to give more health care insurance choices to people!

  • I dont feel Government intrusion in my life.

    what are you doing that warrants this so called intrusion ???

  • You'll find out when they tell you to take a pill and die.

  • "You'll find out when they tell you to take a pill and die."

    Thats a lot like saying I'll find out when pig's fly.

    LOL !!!

  • @xylin3: It already happened in Oregon where they have a state funded public program. They told the woman, no more meds, but you can have us help you die. It happens in UK and Canada as well.... where people come HERE to get treated because of how bad PUBLIC health care is.

  • Ask John McCain. He wants a more bipartisan bill. A kindler, gentler, less scary government intrusion?

  • you mean the John McCain who helped drop Napalm on poor Vietnamese women and children? the same John McCain that cheated on his wife while she was in a hospital seriously injured? THAT JOHN MCCAIN ??? HELL NO !

  • @ 6:58 she shakes her head no as if she knows ANYTHING about the bill...

    -right on time !

  • lady at 6:25 uses the

    "I WANT MY AMERICA BACK BOO HOO PLOY"

  • The guy at 5:50 sayas bullshit and then somebody IT THE TEABAG audience says "nice language! "

    PRICELESS !!!

  • Hey conservatives,

    Exclusive - Betsy McCaughey Extended Interview Pt. 1

  • Clinton has a little fling in the Oval Office and you want to impeach him. Obama is raping the constitution and no one is doing anything about it!

    The only reason i can think of is that scare tactics made by the government are working. Let me try a truth tactic. A Winnipeg man waited 34 hours in an emergency room this weekend, but died without getting treatment. Look it up, dont take my word for it.

  • People who can afford the insurance, yes, this is your free world, but the one who are poor and who cannot afford it, this is not a free world for them but the MONEY worth more than real human BLOOD. Is this true free world or is this a free world just for the people who have money? Is this, such a bad system, if you share doctors with poor people? Yes, I guess rich people should get medical attention as much as they can as long as the one who dies are not themselves but the poor ones, right?

  • I experienced two insurance systems, one medical system that the government takes care of the insurance, so most of the people get medical care even if you are poor as long as you are the citizen of the country, and US one with private insurance company. I didnt experience much different medical care quality wise, and actually previous one was better. In US, there were too many paper works which I couldn't understand what they use it for??

  • Look at the old lady with the sign in the background...clapping madly....

    She will be in a new youtube post when she dies under this plan because they didn't provide the treatment she needed....

    So sad...

  • I am dumbfounded....(but not stupid)

    It really is that clear...

    TruthsBeKnown nails it!

  • CuriousGeorge: How can this be an option if the feds will apply a 2.2% tax on your income if you don't have private insurance?

    Webster's definition of "option": the power or right to choose : freedom of choice

    Where's my "choice" if I'm automatically taxed by the feds?

    "People are sooooo fucking stupid." Obviously, you're talking about yourself.

  • People are sooooo fucking stupid. This is a healthcare option, which means, you don't have to get it if you don't fucking want it. Do you HONESTLY believe that private healthcare will be eradicated when it is second largest industry in the US after the military industrial complex? Stupid fucking people. Let me emphasize: option. Please look up what "option" means.

  • my question to all elected officialts in the federal government is this.........

    IF ITS SO DAMN GOOD get off your government health care and be the first to sign on to this.

  • They don't have to because it is an OPTION and would not be a federal mandate and only option.

  • My question to you, -assuming that you have healthcare -which I'm almost willing to bet you do, is:

    Since you have the option of keeping your plan, why can't congress?

    THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE AT ALL.

    you're point seems ludicrous and obtuse to me.

  • @xylin3: It is going to be like educaiton -- pushes out free market for gov't then you have no choice. Public educaiton is all gov 't brainwashing as a result.

  • where are the black people ?

  • If the govt' plan is so great The tax payer will opt out from there current plan And squeeze out the insurance company In so doing the burden of the healthcare system will wholly depend on a tax system Which is total socialism In which of what govt wants to do Just like the cash for clunkers

  • cash for clunkers generated production for the auto industry. why do you say it's such a bad thing ? people are going back to work ...

  • Cash for clunkers is a dead duck The congress cannot move fast enough to get these dealers their money They are so overwhelmed by buyers that a stoppage is in place for tommorrow!

  • generated production for the auto industry

  • Do you know how many vehicles were bought by the tax payer by the govt takeing it over?

  • because watch what happens to the auto industry once it's over....

    can you say "unemployment line"?

    i've yet to meet anyone who can name a successful government program.....

  • The United States Army

    The United States Navy

    The United States Marines

    The United States Air Force

    The United States Coast Guard

    The interstate highway system

    Peace Corps

    Customs, Boarder Patrol

    The VA-almost

  • I'll start with:

    Medicaid.

    Serves everyone just swimmingly.

    Even TEABAGGERS don't want Government to touch it (wink wink)

    here is your cue to tell me how it is in debt, but not how it doesn't serve its mission (which it does SUCCESSFULLY) - because if a Gov't program's -Success- isn't what you really mean, then you gotta break away from the Conserva-Nazi talking points and tell me what it is you find so wrong with it.

  • Only nazis want to control people's medical care.... and she is lying when she says it's about choice when it's about pushing people toward 100% gov't plan. The public is not stupid, they are on to these DemoNazis!

  • It Fucking WORKS You Dumb Douche, How else would you DEFINE success ???

    What would be unsuccessful is people being thrown out of hospitals for not being profitable, and you and I both know that NEVER HAPPENS in da good ole U,S, of A, right ? - or does it ?

  • Comment removed

  • This entire problem is due to the fact that the govt introduced Medicaid & Medicare in 1965 which has completely destroyed the free market. Prior to 1965 blue collar workers could easily afford medical insurance.

    But bureaucrats never admit that their grandiose schemes are pitiful failures when exposed to the law of unintended consequences. This is stereotypical bureaucratic arrogance.

  • Most of these bureaucrats are liars who won't explain the real facts. The fact is that the bureaucrats have been in collusion with big business for decades.

    It is a widely held myth that big business wants deregulation. They don't, big business loves the punishing regulations because they drive out competition. Read the history:

    cato . org /research /articles /cpr28n4-1 . html

    The solution isn't a tyrannical govt solution. The solution is to throw out the tyrants and their business partners.

  • Why do americans LET their politicians dictate to them? Aren't the american people the leaders of their country?

  • Sort of, but we elect our best and brightest to decide on huge issues we couldn't possibly ever understand and of which we can only spout off about loudly, rudely, and ignorantly.

  • My question to the tsongas is this... If the Govt option is truly just to help compete and bring costs down and they do not want a single payer system then commit to this.... "If the Government plan gathers more then 30% of the patients then all congress and senators be forced into the public option" They say this country wont become a single payor system but we all know its headed that way....PUT YOUR HEALTH WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!

  • "What I have is a tremendous array of choice."

    And her CHOICE was to say NO to the health care they want to foist on the Peasant Class.

    And don't you love how the MORONS are still trying to say those against the bill are Hired by some GOP representative or lobby? If they had that kind of power over the people - they would have used it at election time you twits!

  • The dyke at the end is just pathetic. What stagged nonsense.

  • What makes you think the working class are somehow better than the ruling class of today?

    Are you beyond corruption? Are you saying that you want a socialistic or communistic society?

    Well, then move to a country that already has that, because the majority of people in the US do not want what you want.

  • Why not fund the bankrupt medicare and social security first before adding another huge program that can't be paid for.  Name one gov program that does what they said it would do for what they said it would cost. You can't.

  • I think Obama is putting the cart before the horse. Fix our economy, pay off out national debt THEN try to fix health care.

    We could have a national health care idea week. Where people send in ideas of how NHC could be fixed.

    Why the hurry? And why just stick to one idea and not let other ideas about HC be shown?

  • The gal at the end tore it up! She was clear and straight to the point, good job!

  • We are never going to get to solve the problems in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security if we sit by and don't even try to reform health care.

    Health care reform is an integral part of reforming the other problems.

    What I would like to see in reform is:

    1. Vets allowed to go see a doc outside of the VA and have it covered.

    2. No more lobbying on Capital Hill. Let them buy TV time if they want to get their message out.

    3. Discounts for businesses providing a program for healthier employees.

  • Omg..... I'll be damn reading his message. This country could go bankrupted forever.

  • We are already bankrupt forever. The Federal Reserve Bank doesn't want the national debt to be paid up. Owning the debt of any country is the same as owning the country. If the debt were paid up, the Fed would loose its' power over the government and the people. It is also interesting to know that the Federal reserve will not accept federal reserve notes in payment to the national debt. If it did, then congress could just print up a note for 11.5 trillion and pay the debt off.

  • Obama has spent lots of money- that is his point.

    We have failed to address the problem for 3 or 4 decades, now we have pay a bigger bill.

    Reform should have happened a very long time ago.

    If we don't do it today, what will be the cost tomorrow?

    If you put off paying your mortgage today, won't you have a bigger bill tommorrow?

    We have had the money to do this for decades but we chose to look the other way.

    Now the bill is overdue.

    Health care costs will not go down by doing nothing.

  • Ther are many agencies fighting in most communities to keep this from happening. We love our elderly or at least we should. Because without them we would have nothing that we have today. Take away you grocery store and see how well you do. We are currently in the state of they don't give a fuck. The current thoughts are very bad. I believe that we a bordering on Eugenicide. Oh, you are over 60, oh no you can't have a new liver. With no comorbidities, still no liver for you.

  • Happens everyday in this country w/o health care reform. People are turned away for transplants everyday for not having enough money.

    We already tell people they cannot have new livers because they are poor. What's the difference?

    You think that if we pass "Obamacare" older Americans will not get their transplants?

    People get turned away for transplants, chemo, tooth extraction, root canals,etc. by the hundreds of thousands everyday.

    52.8 million w/o health care.

    All of them are healthy?

  • Have any of you ever walked into a home where a elderly man or women is living in filth and has no food or ability to care for thereself? Have you ever wondered where there family is or why no one can help them. It is because we have a system in place that wont help our elderly get care in their homes or in a assisted living home . People that have done the best they could through life and this is how we thank them. By letting them die alone when something could have been done.

  • I don't know what state you live in, but here in Rhode Island, "any" one who can't afford housing or health care can get it for free. Rhode Island is the number one, king of the hill, welfare state. I know for a fact that a good nursing home charges the government an average of $10,000 a month per resident. The reason why it is so expensive is because it is paid for by government. If you need to go to the E.R. the hospital cannot turn you away and can't force you to pay.

  • And I'll just bet you have a lot of illegals, and blacks living there, huh?

  • How did you know? we got them coming in from all over the world except from places like England, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Denmark, and Iceland.

  • Because these people have no morals and they are always looking for a handout.

    They are the ticks of the human race.

  • I know exactly what you mean. Parasites that hide behind the cause of the truly needy.

  • I assume that your parents and grandparents won't get involved in being "socialist" by cashing their social security checks either. This is also assuming that you guys are going to refuse your "socialist " SSI benefits.

    Don't forget all of the other socialist govt run programs---

    Public libraries, student college grants, police, fire dept,military, coast guard, FBI,CIA,CDC,Homeland security, National parks, The interstate highway system,etc.

    I am sure you will never use these again either...

  • What about all of the kids with childhood leukemia??? Were they not being responsible? Did they not eat responsibly?

    What about parents who have children with autism? Were the parents somehow not being responsible and self reliant? Perhaps they are the "takers" you are referring to.

    Stuff happens in everyones life that is beyond your control. What we are saying is.... that when it does, I have no problem in supporting you and your family in a time of need.

    Your insurance company won't...

  • The amount of money that the government spends on policing the world would be a thousand times more than we need to care for every sick child not only in the USA but Mexico and Canada as well. Just the current bail out money From king Obama saw 2.5 Trillion disappear without a trace. Worse is the fact that all those CEO's got multi million dollar bonuses. The people are being robbed blind and you want them to feel guilty about apposing Obama care?? You remind me of Chicken Little.

  • I'm not asking anyone to feel guilty.

    Just wondering why the next 75 industrialized nations have figured it out and we can't.

    And 2.5 trillion did not just disappear... They kept ALL of the banks from going bankrupt incl. your personal bank, eased the credit crunch ,etc.

    What about 1.1 trillion for the 2 wars, 350 million each for F-22 jets that were never used in Iraq or Afghanistan,28 billion for 16 helicopters the prez did not need or want,

    We can do it if we want to......

  • If you like the way the government runs VA hospitals, then you'll like their health care -- long waits for necessary treatment and they'll make the choice for you.

  • Though all of the yelling an screaming, this is one part of health care reform that NO ONE is talking about......

    Veterans also need a little reform in the fact that they should be able to go see a specialist or a family doctor outside of the VA and still have it covered. It is their choice to get a second opinion.

    But we are so caught up on falsehoods like "death panels" that we overlook the real needs of reform.

    I am sure we could make it better for all of our vets with this one piece.

  • it sounds like yourbrian has no brain

  • MrYoubrian, I taught my kids that they can't save the world, and that socialism is evil. I taught them to eat wisely and to take care of their teeth. I taught them that charity begins at home. I taught them that they can not accept anything from the government that has been stolen from some one else. I taught them that the world is full of "takers" that are always complaining. I thought my kids and they taught theirs kids to be self reliant and responsible. Enjoy your Big Mack.

  • Sounds like the "perfect" family where nothing will ever be beyond your control and nothing will ever go wrong.

    Sounds like there won't be nothing "unexpected" in your preplanned life.

    I just saying that things will happen that are beyond our control. The unexpected will happen and there will be a time when you don't have everything you need to support your family.

    Ever survive a hurricane? Ever lose your job?

    Life does not always go according to plan.

  • I love people who are against reform.

    99% have insurance and don't want anyone else to have it. No matter what the cost to society.

    FACTS-

    14,000 people lose their health care every month and it's growing.

    52.8 million w/o insurance -- up from 45 million last July.

    Health care premiums up 71% since 2001.

    Under the present system, how long will it be before you lose your health care?

    What can you afford to pay each month?

    $1000?, $2000?, $3000?, $4000? / mo

    It's just a matter of time...

  • They work for us not the other way  who ellected these people in to ofice.

  • Why the absence of discussion of shareholders?You people seem to be forgetting the most important aspect of the for-profit system we have now-PROFITS! Duh! Insurance companies exist to make money, & as a shareholder, I could care less about all of these wasteful procedures being handed out like candy to these bottom feeders. Any of my friends can buy their own surgical procedures without any help! So why are these people so unconcerned about the profits?! It's their own fault for not investing.

  • whats the hurry---they want to rush this through because the more people readthe bill the  more it smacks of marxism and wealth redistribution

  • what is the definition of marxism ?

  • @xylin3: The definition of marxism is redistribution of the wealth.

  • inshuranc co. have you By the balls and they deny some of the help they need I have talked to some who have had famley die because thear inshurance dident help. incentive bassed??yes for kickbacks to the doctors to keep prices down so they don't do what needs to be done or what should have ben done to prevent the problem in the first place.the rich get richer and the poor DIE

  • in the same breath the insurance companies say that they are much more efficient then a government beauracrat. then the turn around and say they could never compete with a government run system because of subsidies. you cant have it both ways. these town hall disruptions should be looked into. all sides should discuss their real views.

  • finally the real americans are susshing the bussed in shills of the insurance companies to let people speak! and no one got shot! maybe there is hope for democracy.

  • Have you ever been denied an insurance claim? You need to think about all of America, not just insurance companies?

  • COMMON SENSE

    These congressional democrats are so stupid they think that even though the government has totally screwed up Social Security, Medicare, Welfare, etc That they CAN NOW do a better job with health care. What kind of insanity is this to think that these idiots can do a better job than incentive based private health care? We have to be ctrazy to think the government can help us efficiently! GOVERNMENT = expensive and inefficient and poor bureaucratic quality

  • Cigma CEO Ed Hanway's salary was 12.2MILLION last year; that's 5,583 per week. I read the bill and it DOES rein in the insurance fees & blithe denial of claims, protects people w/pre-existing conditions, helps older people w COBRA payments if they might have to retire early due to illness. It also insures the uninsured. The bill is not getting rid of private health ins, but it has protections for the consumer and reins in expenses.

    Fox News gets lots of money from the insurance cos,

  • This is severely edited.

    This last bitch does not understand, people in Canada are dying because they can't see a doctor.

    All good doctors left Canada to the USA for more money! and God bless those Doctors for leaving, to show that medical care in socialism does not work.

  • That's not true. Canada votes, by the way. Canada has health care run province to province, and that's Canada. But Canada is Canada, and the US has a bill that is for the US. This bill isn't about Canada, AND YOU HAVEN'T READ IT.

  • The last person on the microphone said it all in a nutshell. People are dying for lack of insurance and due to preexisting conditions. Amen.

  • I think that everyone understands that and agrees. However, I dont think that its because people dont want healthcare reform, but they dont like the means to the ends. Alot of times, especially with older people, they have seen time and time again the government making promises or stating things which do not come to pass, more so then what anyone in my generation has (im only 25.) I think that older people especially are sick of being undermined because they have gotten it alot more then anyone.

  • Can you give me some examples?

  • sure. ill send you a message, not enough text here.

  • Socialized medicine seems to work very well in the People's Republic of China.

    I've been told they have some inexpensive livers, kidneys, hearts, and other body parts for sale cheap.

  • That's not socialized medicine that's capitalism. The key word in your statement is "for sale!"

  • Health care is not a right. If you can't ford health care, then you deserve to die.

    Vote for Sarah Palin!!!

  • Birthers !! and Deathers !! run for your life...

  • China is the model for the U.S.A. and organ farming is a direct result of modern health care. That is scary.

  • Health care is not a human right. Every human being has the responsibility to live a healthy life style. Those who are born sick or suffer injury from accidents or become sick through no fault of their own are the exception. Socialized medicine will see E.R.'s pack with dead beats with the sniffles and will dog the system with free loaders. California comes to mind.

  • What about people who 'accidentally' get sick. Accidents, Injuries... what about those people who 'accidentally' are infected with a deadly flu or some other virus and need health care?

    Your attitude of denying primary health care to people who need it is not very christian. I think the bible says you will go straight to hell for your post here on youtube!

  • Well that's what I meant to say. But "socialized" medicine will force those who really need help to the back burner because the government will always be looking to cut cost. The "voters" will come first and the genuinely sick will be left to die. Its' the same all over the world. That is why China imprisons people for the slightest crime and then uses them as cattle for the purpose of selling their organs. China is the model for the U.S.A.

  • He is just saying that because he HAS health care. Don't you get it? He is covered and sees no reason why he should lose that coverage in the next few years. He cannot imagine a scenario that will take away his health insurance.

    But as soon as he loses it, he will understand what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes and he will be scared to death.

    Some people do not know what it is truly like to be hungry or homeless.

    They assume that life is easy and will always be easy.......

  • Why are all you people so upset? Thousands of Babies are put to death every morning before you have your $6.00 coffee.

  • Health care bill will be passed, and all these fucktards will yell and yell until they stop yelling, then they'll admit that the current (now future) system was better than the one we used to have (now current).

  • "Health care" is a human right.

  • Government is not the answer though

  • The only reason people are clamoring for national health care is because they don't want to give up their McDonald's super size piggy meals. They want to be able to eat their way into diabetes and not take personal responsibility for their health.

  • That might also be because most people in this country are fat lazy fucks.

  • This one was better than others.

    At least, there were moments for dialogue.

  • Dude this is funny.

    BOOOO! I like paying more for health care!

    Oh no! IT is Socialist! Yea, like our School, firemen, police, Mail, military, and more!

    Military? Yes, because is run by the government, we do not rely on mercenaries to defend our nation. Some dark age nations had to rely on mercenaries for war! Ever herd on the Swiss pike-men, Flemish mercenaries, Italian mercenaries?

  • I totally agree! We have the strongest military because of SOCIALISM!!!

  • And another thing, the women toward the end is saying the people are dying because they can't see a doctor. No one in this country is denied medical services. Go to any ER, they are packed with people with mild ailments because they know they will not be denied care.

  • Wrong!!

    You can get stitches at the E.R. but will be turned away for chemotherapy, heart bypass, etc.

    I cannot get my heart murmur checked out or my 4 assessed teeth pulled last winter.

    Everyone keeps assuming that anybody at anytime can just go to the E.R.and everything will be taken care.

    This is absolutely false.

  • Good! I hope your heart fails and you die!!!

  • Hope is immaterial.

  • Yuoooooooooo son of bitch!!!!!!!

  • Government does not "tell" people. The government and the congressman/women should do the listening, and they should do the learning. If the government becomes a government of telling the people what is best for them. A Government of elitists who think they know more. A person maybe more educated than another, but that does not give them the right to make choices for others. Everyone is free to make their own choices, we must learn from our own mistakes there is no better lesson in life.

  • As long as the blood merchants of for-profit "health" care are involved we will lose.

    The ONLY option that makes sense is single payer. Like your police? your fire protection? They are not for-profit. We all pay in, and we all share the benefits -- like the awesome systems in England and Canada.

    Wake people and stop being stoogies of the blood merchants. Single payer is the way to go.

  • i hope you're being sarcastic about the england and canada systems. i really do.

  • Canada and England's systems suck balls

  • i cant wait to see what happends with this.

  • The girl at doctors office said I can't get any care until I pay them $229 I have on my balance.I walk out and said healthcare has gone too the dogs...

  • I'm so glad these opposed to a revamp of health care behaved themselves. LOL what a joke. Its like a bunch of whining toddlers.

    The American health care system is fucked and needs to be OVERHAULED.

  • odessyrcr589:

    Almost everyone wants it to be different. They're whining because they think it is going to be made worse.

    So you're telling me that they should just stand by while they're being ignored and not show how many people are against it and the electoral chances of people voting for it?

  • That is what I want! Shove away!

    I don't have any health care now and I can't afford any. If something happens to me, I can show up at the E.R. and they will help for that day but will not help with any elective surgery like a bypass as far as I know.

    They won't provide chemotherapy unless you have health care or can pay out of pocket.

    If I get cancer I will be turned away and left to my own demise. Which as we all know by now is a slow and painful death...

    I saw my dad fade away like that.

  • MrYouBrian, I was like you. I bought my own individual plan with a high deductible for $70 a month. I put savings in an HSA tax deferred. I now have insurance though my wife and guess what< I still have $900 in my account to use for whatever.

  • If you get cancer its not likely you'll ever get chemo under new plan.... they would have to pay for millions for people then which would translate into billions if not trillions of dollars the government wont pay.

    Now that I think about it the tax payers don't want to pay it either... why should you pay for someone elses chemo or rehab when you've never smoked or done any drugs.... thats fucked up

  • Don't tell me- JesusChrist024- that you think cancer only comes from smoking and drugs?

    My dad died from cancer that was caused by asbestos, which in the 60s was so loved they put it in schools and factories, houses.

    Pressure treated lumber at playgrounds all over this nation is now banned, they put lead in paint,growth hormones in pork and milk,MSG, food dyes (red), the pink insulation in your attic, portland cement, vermiculite insulation, the gas fumes every time you fill your tank.....

  • Obama will SHOVE HEALTH-CARE DOWN YOUR THROAT! You guys voted for him! there is no way you can stop him! You were warned before the election.

  • I like Taiwan's example--

    They made a lot of money in the last decade and decided they wanted universal health care but didn't know what to do.

    They formed a panel to travel around the world, find out what other countries had and report back.

    They didn't like any single countries plan! So they took the parts of the plans that they liked and built their own to fit their needs.

    They only took one part of Canada's plan but I don't know which part it was that they liked.

    Can't we do the same?

  • evan, that's an interesting proposal. Thank you for sharing your point of view.

  • At least the disrupters' didn't completely screw that one up. I'm amazed at how many people will scream and shout instead of asking questions and allowing their concerns to be addressed. The insurance companies sit back, laugh and wring their hands over such foolishness.

  • tonemenoic:

    The insurance companies really hate having everyone in the entire country be not only forced to buy their products but forced to buy a product that covers more then everyone would need?

    Really? You think they insurance companies are against this bill? You are a moron.

  • evan, name calling isn't a very persuasive tool to bring people over to your line of thinking. Be that as it may, why do you think the insurance companies are spending so much money lobbying against the public option?

  • tonemenoic: They don't like the public option, but they love the individual mandate. The individual mandate is not even being talked about as a possible thing to have removed by any democrat in any bill. The public option is something that they might end up getting rid of.

    But sure, if the public option is subsidized by the government that would be a purely one-payer system and in that case the insurance companies would be unfairly treated, so if that is all you are referring to then ya.

  • tonemonoic:

    So of course it would be unfair to pass a law that basically destroys the option of private insurance, and being against that is not being in the pocket of the insurance companies, its just plain common sense if you don't want a government run plan. Not wanting a government run plan is not a corporate shill position it is a conservative free-market position based on what makes our country great.

  • evan, you make a good point. I would like to see the burden of insurance (cost. paperwork, administation hassles) completely taken off of the backs of employers to free them up to hire more people and expand their companies. Unfortunately that would leave most everyone without medical care. I would rather see the government have to deal with it than employers. What are your ideas on this?

  • tonemenoic:

    Allow out-of-state companies to compete, take the individual mandate off of the table, remove the incentives for employers to buy health insurance, and allow people to choose their plans without any mandatory minimums decided by congress.

  • "Don't believe her, shes acting!" Hilarious. Some of these town hall meetings are somewhat embarrassing, people seem like they just went to vent, and almost heckle, than listen and ask.

  • SunsetCali:

    Sure, if it were republicans doing something you didn't like you would be all calm when they were ignoring your concerns and moving forward even when you completely disagreed with them.

    Grow up.

  • congress dont get the same health care plan , because this one SUCKS ! it ius eugenist based , to help soft kill the people of the united states ! and they know it and that is why they "OPT OUT" of it.

  • I've never seen so many hateful people in one place. How could you not want fellow Americans to get an affordable health care option?
