  • Free? TAXES!!! Some places need 200 percent taxes on some products to pay. Universal Health Care is a socialist program and it socialism has shown to fail fast.

  • j0eg0d what you say is so on point. I personal work for a company that provides me with very good health insurance. I am definitely concerned with universal healthcare which may mean alot more of a loss than a gain for me. So there so should definitely be a resource for those that need it but we all shouldn't be forced to take advantage of a system that is more than likely far from perfect.

  • NO HO in 08, fuck Universal Health Care. STOP asking for free handouts! GET A JOB and take a shower! Don't tax the working class! Get lazy bums off free handouts and welfare.

  • History shows that the Government will SCREW IT UP. No matter what "it" is.

    We whine about the health system now, and it does suck, but turning it over to the government is not the answer either.

    I saw "outrageous malpractice" claims mentioned...I'd start there too. Oh we screwed up, here's $25 million. And everyone else ends up eating it.

  • I read that in order to file a malpractice claim one has to do this within one year from the time of what went awry. There is only one year for statute of limitation. And of course most folks do not know this.

    Continued....

  • Secondly, in the same reading, they noted that the plantiff rarely ever wins any malpractice suit. And those suing a county hospital/facility, gov runed, well they can just forget winning. Now that tells us, that REFORM in Tort Laws must be done. As once again the peeps are being deceived.

  • Continuing...

    We have the consumer having to pay high and lousy insurance coverage, and doctors who are being ripped off with outrageous mal practice mandatory coverage...and on it goes. Those benefitting are the attorneys for the health care corporations and the insurance companies.

  • Now do not let me get started with the pharmaseutacles...another mess, where so many are being prescribed meds that side effects has so many causative damages. Oh what a mess...we need REFORM...but that takes us back to the selling out of our leaders to *hmmmm* LOBBYIST *eeeck*! HELP, we need to do something and take back our rights.

  • Has anyone said one thing about what is needed and that is health care REFORM? Without REFORM it will continue to go from bad to worse as it will be government run.

    Talk about decapitation, look out when the gov gets involved. Canadians can tell us of the horrors of how they have to wait months into a year or so for needed test, where some folks do not live through the wait. This plan is just another social engineering of big government. The ramifications are just too frightening.

  • You are so right on in what you are sharing here!

    They plan to tax us and then charge us for this Universal health care fiasco! Their popular way of hitting us at both ends.

    And so much other frightening prospects from this horrific Univ. Health Care....

  • Hi j0eg0d, I live in a country which has universal healthcare. It certainly has problems, it does however work quite well here. As about the strange conception that its free, of course it's not. We pay taxes for it. Its just a social system which makes sure everyone has acces to medical care and I like that

  • Joe my daughter has a job in the dental field. No dentist offers insurance. I gather you saw my vid. What's she supposed to do? If they just got rid of the pre-exixting laws she could be fixed and she could go on to living a productive life. Otherwise she'll end up going on wealfare. That's not acceptable since she CAN be haelped.

  • It's a bad scenario and at the same time, probably more common that we know. The best thing that could have been done would have been to let the hospital she originally went too, take care of her.

    I say get her health insurance, wait for it to take effect, take her to the hospital and claim she hurt her leg because she fell down the stairs ... that defeats the preexisting condition rule.

    It's deceitful, but I say fck those insurance companies.

  • Yep that would be easy to do, except she has a titaniam rod in that leg and any doctor could see that the patch collapsed

  • I know how helpless you feel, but health insurance is a flawed system which can be manipulated to your favor.

    There's also liabilities to consider ...

    I hate thinking like a lawyer, but question the liability of the doctor/hospital that put that rod in there.

    For every law that's designed to benefit businesses there's one that helps the citizen too.

  • That rod was inserted 14 years ago. Joe I get the lawyer thing, My son-in-law is a lawyer and argues the same thing. I'm sure evey area would be impacted. But it can't go on like this. She'll end up in a wheel chair, no good to anyone especially her son. Then it will cost the taxpayers even more money to sustain her. here's the rub, she can be fixed

  • Stories like yours makes me cry for you and others who suffer your dilemma and makes me angry at the greedy system. I try a lot to try to change that system by going to state meetings, writing to my congress-person and so forth to see what can be done about this. The mortality rate in the US is horrendous, this suppose to be one of the greatest nations on the planet but it's system sucks major balls. Out of all the countries in the Earth this one suppose to be a Utopia.

  • That's why I made that video, to put a human face on it. It has to be recognized, thank you so much and I just subcribed to you.

  • I think it is complete crap. Do i think its possible to have a nice workable universal health care? yes Do i think any of these people would put in one that others or themselves in the future would not abuse No

  • Coming from Sweden where we, as the rest of Europe, have socialized medicine, I can say with 100% certainty that yes, it's good.

  • Did you see my vid about my daughter? It's aweful that she can be helped and they won't touch her because of the many laws that now prohibit people like her to see a doctor. She also works and they don't provide health care,

    You're very lucky to live in a country that takes care of their people.

  • The thing I have with health care is that it's too damn expensive for anyone (at least average income to lower income people) to afford it. Prime example paying $2000 just for the doctor to look at you and say what you already know then give you some bs shot and that's it. I'm sorry but that is ridiculous.

  • Do I want someone else take the burden of paying that bill? No, but lower the fucking bill, lower what we have to pay for hospital services. I don't pay $2000 to a fire fighter or to a police officer to come to my house and help me out, so why do I have to do the same for something as improtant as getting a check up or surgery that is needed as much as general education and protection. It's bs to think that health ought to cost more than ones mortgage. Lower the prices is more what people want.

  • From what I've read (not my belief) hospital, doctor & ER rates are currently so high because of "frivolous malpractice lawsuits".

    It's BS -

    I say prices are so high because of the back room agreements between the medical professionals and the medical suppliers.

  • That's partially true. Doctors hate the restrictions that are being put on them. They are only allowed to be with a patient for 11-15 minutes or they pay a fine. Give me a break.

    Thanks for answering Joe

  • Amen to that. If you saw my vid, this is happening to millions of us. The sad thing is she can be helped. But that pesky pre-existing law prevents her from getting the help she needs.
