The US life expectancy is not in the top 20 for life expectancy
The US spnds the most money on healthcare and has the worst outcomes. Look at EU nation, Australia, NZ, Japan, all have national healthcare plans, spend less and have better outcomes.
Support the troops - end the war. Then use all those billions - no trillions! - and use it on healthcare and things to timprove our nations, instead of adding on wasteful government programs.
By the way, how much do congressmen get paid?
And how many days are they actually in progress? Hmm. We should do something about that.
Why would anyone want government run healthcare? Can anyone tell me ANY government program that stays within budget and runs efficiently?
The best care will NEVER be free. "Universal healthcare" will only be for people who are "needy".
And, for the BIG QUESTION. Can any supporter of Government run healthcare please tell me, where in the U.S. Constitution does it say that this is a legitimate function of government?
True - government programs always are wasteful and flawed. But some people, not all 'needy' don't have a choice. What if you're a small business owner and you can't afford it. This might help...the best care will never be free. I agree. But at least there's some for the middle man like me
Simply put, it's not governments job to provide ANYONE with medical care or healthcare coverage. Rich, poor, middle class, working, or not. NOT GOVERNMENTS ROLE!
If gov't provides healthcare programs for small business, then who is really paying for it? TAXPAYERS.
I pay for me, my wife, and my two kids. Now I have to pay for other people too? What this country needs is more SELF REPONSIBILITY! And, to stop with all of the "gimme this" or "I'm entitled to that".
this guy is lying. you can tell by the way his eyes are shifting: to the left. hes reaching for information out of the left side of his brain, in other words the creative side. the one used to lie. the right side is used to obtain facts from memory, and i dont see any right brain use here.
That only works in a factual discussion where you are answering a question like "Did you cheat on your wife last week?". While supposing what one might have done in a given situation, a person will imagine themselves in that situation, and use left brain functions for example.
Except that in medicine (and much before even that - in grade school) you learn about this interesting thing called crossover. The left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and vice versa. Absolutely? No, but decent rule of thumb.
The right hand side of your brain deals with creativity.

Healthcare for ALL! If you can find money for war you can find money for helping people! Universal healthcare! No profit for the middle man when it comes to health! To bad Fred is against this and wants to keep the current broken for profit system.
I like what he has to say on this issue - I admire his candor and ability to see that the Medicare/Medicaid system is something that needs some serious attention TODAY if any of us 20-30-40 somethings are going to have any benefits. I also liked the fact that he was speaking casually, in casual attire - not as staged as so many of the candidates videos tend to be.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So Fred is telling us what we already know and not telling us what he is gong to do. This man is simply here to keep us from the real canadates. His whole campane is just a roose.
You know why you're going to win? becuase you don't spend $400 on a haircut, you don't have some one to make sure you look "Perfect" for videos, you are just a normal guy. Unlike others (I won't metion names) that have to look "perfect," their hair has to be "Perfect," the lighting has to be "Perfect."
Our country runs ff lobbyists, the question isn't whether someone is supportd by lobbies, but rather which ones. Look into these things before making blanket statements.
Wait, you realize Hillary said if she gets elected it will be 2 years AFTER she is in office before we are out of Iraq? Do your own math but that's 2011... Yeah, enjoy the humble pie.
Kucinich, I am actually impressed, I am not going to vote for a Dem but if I did he has the best head on his shoulders, unfortunately most voters don't recognize him. Unless Newt gets in it is going to be (D) Edwards v. (R) Romney v. (I) Ron Paul, Ron Paul is going to end up running as an independent.
Kucinich is a nut. He went to Syria, bashed the USA, allowed himself to be used as a propaganda tool against pro-Democracy groups in Syria, and to top it all off he refered to the President of Syria as "his excellence". Not a guy who should ever be allowed into the White House, not even as a tourist.
Its most likely going to be Hillary (D) v. Rudy (R) or Fred Thompson (R) Ron Paul doesnt have it in him to run as an independent.
I am a conservative but even I admit that of all the Dems running, Kucinich is #1 or #2 as far as smart ideas. Keep in mind Hildog said if elected the troops MIGHT be out by 2011...
I know b/c most liberals will vote for someone based on the fact that they are black or a woman alone instead of looking past skin color and gender and looking into the value of each candidate.
Am i then only one here understanding that he is just babboling? He is reading all his notes!!!
