  • At town hall meetings across the country, House Republicans are facing a citizen backlash like never before for voting to end Medicare but give more reckless tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires.

    But we can’t let up now. The same shadowy right-wing special interest groups that flooded the airwaves last fall are back with ads praising Republicans and misleading seniors about the GOP’s outrageous plan to end Medicare. We cannot let these vicious lies stand.

  • @parkourdude923 I'm 20 and I oppose it.

  • Comment removed

  • support defunding Congressional health benefits. we can't get it so congress should have to pay for their own. that will help cut the budget. call your congress person and tell them to give up their healthcare plan WE pay for.

  • mandatory healthcare: from each according to his ability to each according to his need

  • People basically live too long-remove the tax from cigarettes and beer. The government has no ability to afford SS and health care. The average old age home costs 70k a year-there is no way right now for our society to be prosperous enough to pay for the elderly. How does the lower middle class pay for itself?

  • i think america is fine the way it is. i don't want to pay for someone else' healthcare.

  • It's surprising how retarded people are. This health care system won't work, becuase you can't add more people in a plan and not lose money without decreasing quality of health care. And I lived in Canada, and their health care sucks. My dad had to wait in the hospital room 56 hours with a broken leg that had a bone sticking out. WTF?! And if people want better healthcare, they should just get a better job instead of relying on healthcare. This is spreading wealth and dictation; its socialism.

  • @CuBeOrDiE Gee, that's weird. I was x-rayed, treated and released for a simple broken finger. That is pretty much the norm in Canada. Have a REALLY hard time buying your story, or you are leaving a lot of info out.

  • Yeah, does anyone know where I can get a copy of what the Republican's idea of a health care plan was? I'm trying to find one so that I can read what the Republicans wanted to do for America instead of Obama's health care bill!

  • I just read how the RNC is spending big money on tits, ass and shopping. Looks like they run their own business exactly the same way they run countries into the ground. It's all about you, republicans, as you swirl down the toilet with the crap where you belong.

  • @jensen1901

    You idiot There are government hospitals public county hospitals and government doctors. The left have used scare tactics before during the Bush administration So it may be may be not BUT it could be that way. The SOcial Security Administration foes make you wait that long and it is broke so it will basically will run dry With the incentives and all the other crap. LEAVE IT UP TO THE STATES. It is their responsibility in the 10th ammendment repeal it and give the states a chance.

  • Fucking GOP liars. There are no government doctors. There are no government hospitals. It's all still private insurance.

    All the right has left is scare tactics.

    Sad.

  • Um, like the Medicare that 95% of seniors approve of? Not buying it, Senator McCarthy. Free health care for every American!

  • hahahahahahahahahahaha!

    what a bunch of losers you republicans are. way to be proactive on healthcare, lol.

  • Only a fool will believe this socialist healthcare system this clown running the country wants to mandate on all americans both legal and illegal is a travesty Obamaclown has already buried this country so far into debt its mindblowing He can get his own side to go for it Heaven help us if it goes thru Than the lawsuits reappeals of this will begin You can count on rationing healthcare Sorry your dad can get a heart valve at 68 Your grandmother cant get a new hip at 80 This Obama is a joke

  • I got an Idea! If the Republicans hate government run healthcare, then why are they so against cutting MEDICARE!? What about social security?

  • Da magic Negro is woikin his Magic!

  • I know , but some fact s are in fact irrelevant to me for now, so ok.

  • Just because Obama wants to model his healthcare system after Canada's doesn't mean it would be bad like theirs. America is kind of the best at everything, I'm sure we could get something running pretty smoothly.

  • you're right.

    It will be worse.

    He's cutting medicare by HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS.

    this is the worst thing that could happen to this country.

    and the sooner you idiotic liberals realize that, the sooner we can stop this.

  • Logical flaws are one thing, but outright lies and out-of-context quotes are another. Just because a NATIONALISED (not socialised, note that) system would mean they were wrong.

    RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEE.

  • Oh yeah, no one tells me which doctor to go see, or which course of treatment I will pursue. That's just a Fox news talking point

  • I've had 2 surgeries in the last 14 months here in Canada - one at a private facility, and one at a public hospital. The longest wait was 6 weeks for shoulder surgery. Excellent care at both facilities, no worrying about coverage, and no co-pays or deductibles. Watching this debate is like watching people argue about "socialized" fire departments or roads

  • It sounds you are getting your information from Glenn Beck because private clinics are perfectly legal in Canada.

  • This advertising has no reflection in reality. Aren't we already waiting months on end for specialist visits? This waiting is entirely coming from the private medical providers and private insurance providers. How come the RNC never focus on private provider rationing?

  • Comment removed

  • @collapseofthedollar

    You know, people woud rather wait slightly longer for guaranteed, free treatment.

    And they don't wait longer anyway (certainly not for emergency surgery!).

    It is entirely possible that Canada Eh's system is shit, but that doesn't mean nationalised healthcare is bad in itself -- Canada just failed the concept. Nritain, France, etc. didn't.

  • Ron Paul is the only man in the United States who has the answer, at least the only electable man and it looks like you will have to wait at least another 4 years for him.

  • The government doesnt care what the ppl think about health care, they think we are stupid.

    so they want to control it for our "good." when most of them dont realize how easily it can be corrupted. hell, i bet it will be used to kill your baby, if you even get the chance to have one...

  • So... I get seriously ill and I don't like how Cigna treats me.

    So I cancel the policy and buy one from Wll Point.

    ...I think you can guess the rest....

    There is little or NO insurer choice in many states.

    And consumerism simply does not work in Health Insurance

  • So then let people buy insurence across State lines. Simple. Need any other help?

  • sgtkpf: Did you read Strawberry's post? Or her other one "This Americans Experience of Britains Healthcare System" Your thoughts please !

    She tells it much more clearly than I could ever do. She is an American and has seen the situation in the UK and the U.S. and now she has gone back to the U.S. and discovered the horrors of getting coverage there.

    The responses to her postings are just as enlightening. "This Americans Experience of Britains Healthcare System" went viral

  • I don't know what posting you're talking about...

  • you have to Google to find it. Try Googling "This American's experience of Britain's health care system" . Its a wordpress web site published by a lady calling herself "strawberry" - the NHS as it really is as seen by an American living in the UK....

  • The video says that "in Canada and Great Britain, individuals lose the right to make their own health care choices". I am fairly sure about Canada and I am absolutely sure anout Britain (having lived there for many many years) that this is a COMPLETE LIE. I discussed all the choices and preferences with my doctor. And finally its my choice. Not his. We have private hospitals in UK but few people use them, because the NHS is so good. Nobody can vaccinate a child without parental consent.

  • My Girlfriends 10 y/o daughter is living in Canada with her father; where they have Gov. run health care

    She was forced to take the Gardasil shot in school, no parental consent

    She now has a vicious case of Guillian Barre, she has attacks of temporary paralysis on random parts of her body.

    Her horseback career is now over.

    Hows THAT for gov. Health care ?

    Say NO !

  • My father's mother's third cousin's friend is american and died due to a common infection in the USA.

  • My wife's mother's brother's uncle's grandfather's sister's cousins' grandmother lived in England, and died. Must because they have terrible HEalth Care.

  • The anti-profit posts here are ridiculous. On the off chance that any of the posters actually work, I'm willing to bet that they keep what earnings the government lets them. Guess what, that's profit. You know what else profit is? The sole thing that has fueled nearly every single medical innovation ever. The idea that insurance companies shouldn't profit, while you do, is just like every other Leftist idea, hypocritical.

  • DOWN with Health Care Reform!!! Let's support those that make $250,000 a year or more & our Insurance Companies!!! Over the past 10 yrs. insurance premiums have risen 131% while wages have increased just 38%. Who stands to gain for health reform? It's a question we really need to investigate, whether Dem or GOP.

  • We are slaves.

  • "GOP healhcare research"? I guess that's code for "fundraising."

  • Today's news: AGAIN the Republicans offering no viable alternative for a falied heatlthcare system that they profit from, two illegal wars started under their watch as well as an economy destroyed on the same watch...and what are they yelling about? An apology from Grayson and Obamas bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago. Unaccepatable. for everyone EXCEPT the republicans and their woefully misinformed, brainwashed and pathetic "red state" zombies.Get your story's straight, answers will be had.

  • long waits for care, unable to get cancer screening....ok, thats whats wrong with private healthcare, when are you going to talk about the private option. lol. hows another insurance p lan, available like ANY OTHER product, going to DESTROY the system? so are you against ALL new insurance plans, or just one that wont let you die for profit......

  • Is dying for totalitarianism or bueracracy better than dying for profit...?

  • This is soooo F up i am sick of the republican BS... OBAMA will do great in office... I personaly want Universal health care

  • screw the public option. go single payer

  • That's interesting, a Socialized medicine advocate supporting a socialist, who would have thought....

  • Don't let the GOP scare you into stupidity - whatever possible healthcare reform passes will only benefit people, because the "For Profit" Insurance Co.s have a complete, 100% Monopoly on YOUR care now. And if you think they're going to give you a break when they don't have to, (just so they can make more $) you better think again. 100% Reform is not possible, Obama is actually only fighting for MINIMAL reform, because that's how difficult real reform is - almost impossible.

  • As a Brazilian, I really know how deleterious is a government run Health Care.

    United States has the best medical crew, the best medical technologies and the best medicines in whole world. Why do you want to change it?

  • GOP had congress for 6 of the last 8 years, where was their health care plan then? If McCain were in the WH we wouldn't be talking about health care now.

    In America if you have money, you have care, no money no care period. You can wait forever help, it ain't coming.

  • Of course chances are if you live in the US, you're one of 300million people that can get health care and not 6 million that can't.

  • Jesus God. This has NOTHING to do with government running healthcare. Besides, most of us are for government regulation. Americans accept government regulation, and they want change, they dont want decisions to be made by the rich and corrupt.

    Don't want government help on this? Enjoy your insurance premium next year!

  • Do not trust either party.

  • "maybe not"

    Go choke on your closet dick you evil anti-progressivists

  • It takes a special, inbred kind of stupid to be a republican in todays political climate! Seriously, how dumb do you have to be to keep coming back in support of their policies, to keep believing the massive overt LIES the GOP is based on!

    The type of mob stupidity the repubs have become are what got us Bush!

    We want them deciding whats best for our healthcare now?!

  • the majority of americans are not fond of you guys, please just please stop be such prostitutes to the insurance companies and lobbyists, and that goes for Democrats in congress too.

  • Fuck the GOP and there stradegy of dividing and conquering, it seems that's how they have been elected for the last like 160 years. Supply-Side economics has failed, your experiment has cost this country absurd amounts of money. The deficit tripled from Carter to Reagan. Reagan deregulated, and somehow "got the government off the backs of the people" except in the case of:

    Right to an abortion

    Right to smoke weed in the privacy of your own home.

  • This vid is total Republican bullshit.

    The Senate Finance Committee is looking at a bill that would stick you with a monthly premium AND you also pay 35% of the cost of your care, with no limit! That means, if you break your leg and it costs $10,000, you pay $3,500.00 - yep Three Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars!

    God forbid you really have a medical problem like need a transplant. If it's $200,000, you pay $70,000!!!

    You have to watch those damn greedy scumbag Republicans like a hawk!

  • Lies.

  • I'm tired of these fucking lies.

    It's always the fucking old fucking conservatives leading this country into a fucking abyss. Health-care reform would ultimately help those fucking prudes the most ironically.

  • Bill Clinton tried to push for this absurd reform and failed. For the good of the country I hope history repeats itself.

  • Oh yeah, that's constructive! Great mindset!

  • So you think it's constructive to curse and call people names? Anyway, I agree that the Government should take care of people, but only the ones who can't take care of themselves, meaning physically or mentally disabled people.

  • "In Great Britain individuals lose their right to make their own healthcare choices"

    What's funny, is we actually have more choices. We have both private and government ran health care if we so choose (WIN WIN scenario)

    I'm English, and wouldn't change a thing a thing about the NHS. Not only does it give you peace of mind, that if you do fall ill that you don't even have to think about £, but also that some of your tax £ goes towards helping the less fortunate in your society.

  • @dazdxmg While that may be true in Britain, government run healthcare in the United States will limit people from choosing their own private healthcare plan. Many people who currently have private healthcare plans that they like and consider affordable will lose that coverage, as the United States government will consider it to be illegal. As a result they will be forced to buy a government backed plan they don't even want, ultimately costing the tax-payer.

  • I do agree that a country as rich as the United States should be able to help those who are truely in need, but not at the cost of those who don't desire any from of government intervention. I my opinion, Obama's healthcare bill may have been one of his worst decisions, and I hope it is removed by the next elected administration.

  • Im British, and firmly hold the belief that our healthcare system is infinitely superior to that of the US..

    Judging by the overwhelming response online, Im not the only one ;)

  • Republicans and any1 else that is just out for their wealth sucks and is disgusting- Im proud we finally have a president that truly cares about Americans. AND PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE THESE SCARE TATICS Republicans want you to believe- they are using you to protect their wealth and they dont care wheather you live or die from lack of access to care.

  • Fuck you Republicans and stay out of our goddamn country, we are all very proud of the NHS

  • Lies.

  • Republican fascists make me want to puke...but I better not do that! Insurance companies will claim that as a pre-existing condition.

  • Comment removed

  • first of all the healthcare plan isnt saying private healthcare will be abolished just that the others who cant afford it will be able to be given a chance to see a doctor, a chance that most of the other industrialized countries have been enjoying for years. Oh and by the way in england we do get to choose our doctors, and we never "loose our rights".

    Republicans must be running out of money, what a crap ad.

  • LIES, LIES, LIES. Ask a Brit.

  • Remember the movie "Logan's Run"? Well, it's coming true. When the state deems you usless than they terminate you and give you a pain pill to fade away. No matter what your contibution to soceity, if you're old, you're done. Gov't/big brothers gotta cut cost somehow. Hitler did the same thing to the handicapped people in Germany. Hey, wait, most liberal democrats are useless too.  Maybe they'll get terminated too...lol.

  • As I said previously, your statement about euthanasia is a lie, there is nothing in HR 3200 about terminating the elderly. If you actually read the bill instead of repeating what rush limbaugh tells you to say, then maybe you'll actually sound educated.

  • I am glad to see our seniors standing up. I stand with them.

    Obama and congress has taken away our social security raises for the retired and disabled.

    We will loose pay in January 2010 and Medicare benefits.

    All of you got your raises!

    So, Mr.Obama and congress, give the American people the same health care plan that you receive.

    Now this would be fare. Tax payers pay for yours, so make it the same for all!

    Retired and the disabled need their raises in January 2010.

  • Just think of this as privatizing government, and strengthening the free market. Those are two thing republicans are for right? If the free market is so great the government plan wont last long. Remember when Social Security was going to be privatized? Well same story different chapter, its just the gov't health care instead of SS.

  • The GOP plan: To lower costs- increase access- preserve patient's rights- so why haven't they done it already? What are they waiting for...? Why is this a Democrat issue to push- and a GOP one to blow up?

    Oh- I know. They like the Status Quo- but now that is being threatened so we hear- "Hey we're going to lower costs- we're going to reform." So fucking do it already. I don't care if a Republican plan or Democrat Plan fixes the problem- but for the moment I only see the Democrats trying.

  • Yeah... Republicans have a better alternative... right.

    So where the hell have the Republicans been on this issue? They successfully destroyed Hillary's attempt to reform Health Care- and then did NOTHING. Then they controlled government for six years- had the White House for 8- and did NOTHING. Why would I believe they care about health care reform? They care about something- but it doesn't seem to be the uninsured or the drowning middle class sick.

  • republicans didn't reform health care because there is nothing wrong with health care. we have the best health care in the world. so much so that the speaker of the cabinet from australia comes to AMERICA to get medical treatment. those "sky rocketing" costs you hear about, why is it happening? BECAUSE AS WE ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGY THE COST OF TREATMENT WILL NATURALLY GO UP! i thought this was simple but i guess not. plus we have over 303 million ppl in the u.s and 20mil dont have coverage not big

  • Those that think 20 million people are no big deal are the same people that think there is nothing wrong with American health care. And use the correct number- it's 46 million. Your theory on skyrocketing costs is simple- but also wrong. Rising costs are tied to what? Research and development? Manufacturing new medical tools? No. Cutting edge technology has sky high price tags when it's used- and pays for itself. Those costs are not absorbed into office visits, ER care, and simple medication.

  • well 46 million that dont have health care, about 11 million is illgal immigrants, another 5 million are people that qualify but changing jobs or insurance. so that leaves about 30million / 303 million that dont have coverage. now is over a trillion dollar price tag, while we are in a recession worth helping 1/10.1 of the poplulation that obviously didn't plan ahead in high school and in college?huge amount of the pop. have coverage, and over 68% say they strongly approve of our health system

  • You made the only argument I agree with from your side- which is- in the current economy- does a program with such a big price tag make sense. And if someone proves to me that the cost will really hurt us- then I might back off the call for reform while we get back on our feet. But the rest of your case sounds like it comes out of the mouth of a 17 year old kid. That's not an insult- because you're clearly smart and well informed on the issue- but you haven't taken your kid to an ER...

  • and also something to think about:

    since 1960 has the price of food gone up or down? has gas gone up or down? has the price of shoes gone up or down? has the price of electricity gone up or down? my point is as time goes by the price of everything will go up. its the natural order of things. health care is no different. plus what makes costs go up is that by law we have to give emergancy care even to people wthout coverage. so the costs are passed to consumers. illegals are the biggest problem

  • You haven't felt what it's like to have $450 taken out of a $1700 paycheck for insurance- and then get denied for medical help you think you need- and a 17 year old doesn't worry that a lump in his nuts might be cancer- and that the treatment might go over his lifetime allowance and put him in bankruptcy. (That did not happen to me- just an example) You say 68% are satisified with health care? Then why did 60% of the country vote for a guy who promised reform? Can you really compare HC to shoes?

  • thats an actual poll. 68% say they are happy with their health insurance. that is because out of 304 million ppl about 20million (legal) americans dont have it. and it is fact whether you want to beleive it or not obama won because he is black. now im not saying that mccain would have won, but it would have been hillary vs. mccain. and yea i can compare hc to shoes. because i was making a point that everything goes up in price over time. its common scense

  • my movie is more funny. It's called Health Care Babyz

    check out my channel.

  • i werk at a lokul countryklub and last weak sum nice republikin senators were their and when they finishd there round they kumplaned abowt sum peeple who kame out of the wuds with canseros leeshuns and soars screeming and vomiting kozing won of the senators to miss his putt so i set my pitbull 'skeeter' loose to go git em. woo hoo! no helthkare ain't no good for no soshalizm no way! God bles the USA! raskul flats rules!

  • Health Care Bill contains elderly euthanasia.

    The older you get, the less care you'll receive.

    Government will let you die. Read pages 425 - 430 of H.R. 3200. Every American will get old.

  • HR 3200 does not contain euthanasia, page 425-427 says doctors need to describe the rights of patients to the patient, unless the state law prohibits it. pg 427-428 describes what life sustaining orders are and how they must conform to state law. pg 428 describes who is qualified to do the aforementioned things. pg428-429 describe what advanced care and consultation is not and says... continued...

  • ....continuing.... "An advance care planning consultation with respect to an individual may be conducted more frequently than provided under paragraph (1) if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual, including diagnosis of a chronic, progressive, life-limiting disease, a life-threatening or terminal diagnosis or life-threatening injury, or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility (as defined by the Secretary), or a hospice program."

  • ...continuing... so as you see you actually get more care if you become sicker. and pg.429-430 describes what order regarding life sustaining treatment means and when the "Do Not Resuscitate" clause can be applied and how it can be applied (which is in place currently). and regarding pg 430 "effectively communicates the individuals preferences regarding life sustaining treatment, including an indication of the treatment and care desired by the individual".

  • Obama's Politics of Collective Redemption

    By Kyle-Anne Shiver

    And in this seemingly redemptive offering, Obama may be promising what only God can actually deliver, in the form of yet another, more eloquent, version of the same old utopian dream that started with Rousseau and Marx.

  • You think Government run healthcare is a bad a Idea? Got a word for you , Tricare. I am in the military and absolutely love the Government run health care. Washington bureaucrats making health care decisions! How about Insurance company bureaucrats making your health care decisions. At least the ones in Washington can be held to some accountability for their actions.

  • Wrong. I want to make my own health care decisions. I don't want the government or an HMO deciding for me. What we need is free market healthcare, like they have in Singapore. This 3rd party payment nonsense is what's keeping costs so high.

    "If you gave the government the control of the ENTIRE Sahara Desert... within 5 years their would be a shortage of sand."

    -Milton Friedman

  • Medicare and Medicaid are run by the government, and they are near to bankrupt. Are you aware that TRICARE is a private company running the insurance for our government? That is the only reason is it well-run. My mother has TRICARE as well, and it does work fine. The US postal service is a government-run entity, and is billions in the red. They raise prices every time you turn around, and yet are considering going to a 3-days-a-week delivery program. Excellent job by our government!

  • "Medicare and Medicaid are run by the government, and they are near to bankrupt."

    Do you even know why???

    "The US postal service is a government-run entity, and is billions in the red. They raise prices every time you turn around, and yet are considering going to a 3-days-a-week delivery program."

    Ever heard of email? I suppose that the world wide web is the government's fault, too, right?

  • "This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses, and breaking America's economy," Obama said on a visit to a Washington hospital.

    Obama is breaking Americans with reckless Government growth, spending and takovers of all our precious freedoms. Healthcare needs a tune-up but it's not broke.

  • People who criticize UK are clearly not familiar with the NHS constitution (just Google it) which makes many legally binding undertakings including free health care bound by quality and access guarantees including non-discrimination on age grounds.

    This video is a complete joke. Do you think the British people would put up with what is depicted in this video? If it did there would be RIOTS.

    Simple fact is that people in the UK cherish the NHS because IT WORKS.

  • Then why do rich Brits come to the US for surgeries?

  • We don't! What makes you think we woud would need to? We have very good hospitals in England and the wait time is very short. Only one third of patients in hospital are admitted from a waiting list and the period between the decision to see a specialist (including booking and making the 1st appointment, doing tests, getting results, discussing options and getting any op or procedure) is a median 9 WEEKS and s/b less than 18 weeks. Wait time is NOT dead time! See the NHS Constitution

  • A constitution is not the equivilant of implimentation. The U.S. has a written constitution as well, though it is hardly followed. The same is true for the NHS.

    The government can't run a hot dog stand, much less healthcare for everyone in a nation.

  • Nope. You can take the NHS to court if fails to meet its undertakings in the constitution. Also you also can take the NHS to judicial review if you think you have been treated unfairly or detrimentally. Very few do of course because the NHS actually WORKS, and works cos its mostly run by the medical profession. Government' just provides the money and sets top level priorities.

    The medical profession puts patients first because they cannot gain the system by serving themselves first.

  • We want it be illegal for you to kill your un-born baby; but how you pay for it's medical care, we don't give a f*ck, as long is it doesn't mean more taxes for us...

    In other words, we want to tell be able to tell you that you're forced to have that baby, or dump it on the foster/adoption system; which means more taxes dollars going for that...

    Logical!?

  • We don't like paying for the MURDER of an unborn child; if a woman wants an abortion, she should have to pay for it herself, or get the father, assuming she knows who that is, to cough up the money. Cheaper to pay for that than have to take any kind of responsibility for the life they created, I'm sure you agree.

  • In the UK..

    "One in five coronary artery bypass patients are now over 75, and the average age of aortic valve replacement patients has increased from 61 in 1994 to 68 in 2008. " "operations associated with elderly patients, such as aortic value replacement, are becoming more common, suggesting people with heart disease are living longer. "

    "I am particularly pleased that the evidence shows we are treating more people successfully in older age."

    From todays BBC News website

  • And the Dems plans are NOT Single payer like Canada's. Your choice is to keep a private plan or choose a govt not-for-profit plan. And no refusals based on pre-conditions.

  • As for the comment in the video that patients in the UK have no right to make their own health care choices is wrong. There are FREE health care screenings and immunizations and presciptions for over 65s and under 18s. Don't believe this nonsense. And wait times are very short and none at all if the need is urgent.

  • Just remember Obama got voted in with a real election not a rigged one like bushputz

    and he knows if he is causght going back on his word about always having a choice of plans

    he ass will get the boot

    AS FOR YOU SAYING all other plans will go bankrupt competing with a gov PLAN

    AGAIN a repunk lie

    THEY WILL JUST HAVE LOWER PROFITS and maybe NO OUTLANDISH BONUSES

    INVESTORS IN INSURERS OF HEALTHCARE WILL HAVE TO EXPECT LOWER RETURNS BECAUSE

    LIFE TRUMPS PROFITS NOW

  • you guys are lying about being knocked out

    That is exactly the opposite of what OBAMA promised

    BUT I BET YOUR REPUB BUDDIES who are all trying to slow up this bill till 2010 like your putz boy norm coldslaw held Al frankin up for 6 months with his bull lies

    AS FOR THE DUMMY THAT SAYS premiums will be deducted from your savings account

    hey loser MY Premiums are directly taken from my paycheck RIGHT NOW

    SO WHATS THE BLOODY DIFFERENCE

  • The govt. can't even run the govt. or control their spending. ..and what will you get with this..The biggest thing in your life that is v. important is health care and how dare the bureaucrats and the stinkers in Washington think for one minute they will now control our health care. . To Hell with all of them. . .

  • hey LOSER .. the dems are merely cleaning up * years of your party spending like drunk sailors and causing the biggest recession since the great depression ..which also was caused by your repunk Cal coolidge and exaserbated by your repunk herbert hoover. ONLY a DEM named FDR took it upon himself to enact deficit spending to stimulate the depression economy and put america back on the road to success.

    YOU repunks broke it in 1929 and you broke it in 2008

    AND YET YOU BITCH

  • it will still be better than the private system we have now and dont tell me that the canadian system is what he is promoting as thats bull.

    here is an example of your precious american for profit system killing my mom

  • Wait until you find out that the government plan has instance access to your bank accounts to access the funds they believe you owe - this is in the proposed bill. How many of your rights and how much of your privacy are you willing to give up, for some so-called "better idea"?

  • This is scare mongering of the highest order. There is no bill before congress that authorises snooping!

  • SCARE-MONGERING? Scare-mongering is Obama - "we have to pass this NOW - our healthcare system is crumbling and the country will fail if we don't pass this before our August break" - his Hope and Change have been nothing but scare-mongering from the day he stepped into office. He has not one good thing to say about our country, and he is nothing short of a disaster. There - I said it!

  • You said, he didn't. Why use quotes when you aren't quoting him??? You post is complete bullshit. The RNC are the ones scaring everyone, these days.

    The party with NO SOLUTIONS.

    There, I said it.

  • Make Congress and Obama use Government Health Insurance, then America might buy it!

    Shut up, put your money were your mouth is Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Stuart Smalley. I want to see these crooks use the poison death sentence they are trying to get US to use. Make it MANDITORY for Federal Government employees and the representitive Branches of Government to use this new system and I will support it whole heartedly.

    A challenge

  • What they dont tell you:

    1) Insurance companies have billions in unsettled claims (stealing $ from us).

    2) 50% of US family bankruptcies are due to medical bills.

    3) Many congressmen that are against health care reform receive contributions from insurance companies.

    4) The IRS illegally takes away 25% of your income. Dont you think you have a right to accessible health care?

    5) Industries such as banking, health, oil and war influenced legislation and were unregulated. The price?

  • Yes all you Dem dummys!!! Now your gonna get taxed for using a private doctor under this socialist plan. I could care less about Democrats or Republicans but Im not paying any more taxes than i already do. The Obama plan is the worst. Do your research. Every time the Gov't runs anything it fails!! They already are running the banks, corporate world,GM and now health care. What else is next? Get a clue people!!!!!

  • Brought to you by the same bozos who fought against social security and medicare. The GOP (G reed O ver P eople)

  • What nonsense, Obama and Pelosi are looking for a government run INSURANCE OPTION. Its INSURANCE not Govt doctors and its OPTIONAL. I lived in UK & had free choice of doctor and hospital. This is just BS, I could pay a private doctor if I wanted to. I didn't cos the NHS is so good.

    People in UK know that the press is the least reliable source of information about the NHS.

  • READ THE BILL - it is NOT optional when they don't allow the private insurers to take on any more subscribers after the bill is passed, & if you make changes to your existing private insurance, you're automatically knocked out of the private plan & into the public. You WON'T have a choice to pick another private insurer or get out of the public plan.  You'll be fined from $1000 to $2500 per year each yr you do not participate in the "PUBLIC OPTION" . Get real & read what is in black and white.

  • BullS***. The Bills before congress will NOT prevent private insurers from doing business. If you are right about this give us the bill name and clause about which you speak. Your answer is eagerly awaited but will not be forthcoming

  • A registered Nurse who works at a MICU in New-York in charge of 2 patients take a 3 hrs break sleeping on a hospital bed well made rolled to a private room on the floor lock her door while the buzzer for his heart monitor went off. She toady carries the OBAMA bag she feels very proud and support his health care system.

    Imagine what would happen to your grand mother or mother having those people who does not care about their job

  • 37 United States of America 37 ur country is 37th on the list of good health care systems. Malta A country with less money then you salary has a better system then you and you have the balls to say a private only system is good?

    anyone who says government backed health care is bad needs to live off of a 30k or less yearly income get sick in the us of a and then do the same in a country with public health and tell me which country leaves you in dressing on the side of a road.

  • O.k. So how about we hear some actual facts about actual universal healthcare.

    We are number 37 in rank for overall healthcare. But we are number 2 on how much we spend publicly and privately currently as a whole.

    They have a longer life expectancy as well. So please tell me the downside to paying the government instead of the hospital so we can live longer. Guess what we would pay less as a whole as well.

    You can google the ranks if you want.

    This is bullshit propaganda.

  • America, listen to me. If congress passes this bill it will be the worst thing to happen to this country. I'm Polish and I went to Poland to visit my grandmother after she suffered a stroke. She was 79 years old, well over 65, bleeding in her brain and a simple operation was needed to save her. They didn't do it because SHE WAS TOO OLD and they let her die......thats true government health care. It's your fault you smoke and that you are fat why should I pay?

  • lmao Poland is 50th on the list bad example chum and why should you pay? so when ur ass gets sick and i can pay for you to get better. an when when your sick with no coverage or improper coverage come back to me and tell me how you feel about the gov paying your doctor bills.

  • Why should I wait one year for serious surgeries? That's what people in Canada say when they come to America for health care. I'd rather go bankrupt to save my life then die on waiting list anyday. That's the point of health care TO STAY ALIVE!!!

  • Yep, I live in the Uk where we are all dying on the NHS. Oh my god, you guys should come and see how bad our healthcare is. Its terrible. All those minutes of waiting, seriously.

    Urgh.

  • Sorry, RNC...

    Only the stupid are buying into your lies!!!

  • This whole healthcare thing is going down the wrong road. The solution to high health care costs is getting rid of all the trial lawyers filing frivolous suits suing doctors. Any doctor will tell you their #1 expense is insurance against this. With the threat of lawsuits gone they can lower the cost of their services. They are simply passing the cost of insurance on to the "customer". Trial lawyers are one of the biggest contributers to campaign funds though, so I don't see this happening soon.

  • Hmmm, I'm 58, pushing 59, I have an 82 year old mother. My dad was a WWII Veteran, he lied about his aqe so he could join the military, he was 15. Yes, they "were" the "Greatest Generation"! They actually cared about their descendents! Can't say that about the Hippy Generation! You "ALL" make me ill that are in power now! You weren't brought up to be so selfish! I "AM A TRUE PATRIOT"! You make me "ILL". And I grew up with you!!!!!!!!

  • Please Mr gov't my child needs a live saving proceedure and you are the only to approve this treatment. I know I disagreed with your polictics before but please, I beg you, please don't let my baby die.

  • I see you clearly don't understand the fact that universal healthcare covers everyone. Therefor, obviously there is no approving or waiting or inssurance or any bullshit like that. Your sick? Okay well come on in.

  • Okay come on in and wait for ever and the incompatences that goes along with any gov't service.

  • This commercial is leaving out some important information, most people are going to keep there insurance and are not going to see any changes in their health care except lower cost because poor people will not wait to go see a doctor until the treatment is so expensive, instead the poor will get more preventive treatment which is a fraction of the cost.

  • I agree with cuts to military. The US budget right now has no real room for anything and needs drastic cuts. The problem is Obama wants to take those cuts and spend them elsewhere.

    There is no way the US will run healthcare effeciently which will bloat costs. To the person saying it would be a 1% tax increase. It would be more like a 10% tax increase in the US for a 2% income commodity.

  • most of the rich pay very little taxes, so I think Obama is going to tax the wealthy at the same rate as the middle class to help pay for the healthcare.

    And I think there is ways for the US to run healthcare efficiently, such as a national data base for patients information.

  • I think your perception is wrong. The top 5% pay 50% of the taxes in the US. Most of them are taxed around 30%, but it was way more mid last century. The problem with only taxing the rich is that it has been shown not to have an impact on increasing federal revenue as a percent of GDP, but it has decreased GDP.

    The US government hasn't run a single program efficiently. They will spend atleast twice as much as they need if not 10 or sometimes even 100 times more.

  • I don't think anyone suggested that we should only tax the rich. But you make a shit ton more money from taxing them then poor people.

  • So take away tons of money from people that work and make money for what they do and then put it in the system where it will be distributed to people on welfare???? Right makes a whole lot of sense. NOT

  • Take away tons of money from the rich. Give it to the poor. Then the poor get's more money which can be taxed and used to solve other problems. In denmark we don't give charity to poor people. We help them stop being poor at all, then they become middle class then they don't need help at all anymore. It profits everyone, it means better living standards better educated work force and it means more money to use on shit we like. We have money left over after we are done with welfare.

  • Well there are too many enabled, lazy, and bitter people with a chip on their shoulder in the US for there not to be welfare. And I just don't trust government with my healthcare. No matter how a large government starts out, there are always greedy people. Why rely on a government that has the power to ruin your life.

  • You'd rather trust people who don't do anything in their life but take your money? Okay well enjoy that. If you don't trust your government maybe you should start voting something else. Yeah i'd rather trust people i vote on then trust people who just want my money.

  • I can't vote... And besides the vast majority of the American Public gets wiped up in the Obama utopia and is too stupid to see what he is doing to us. In the past history has proven that governments that are too big end up hurting their

    people.

  • To big government is a retarded american concept made up by republicans. Face it you don't actually know anything about thease issues except what Fox news and republicans tell you. This video posted right here on youtube is bullshit and full of lies. The only time i ever waited for a long time for anything. Was when the damn doctor actually DIED on his way to work. Run over by a car. What do you think the motive behind telling you universal healthcare is Xtra

  • Large government has proven to be destructive. Take USSR, Cuba. What is socialism? A system with a big government. I happen to watch alll of the News networks as well as MSNBC and BBC. Don't tell me that I listen to everything FOX News tells me. Besides what do you care about our country? What does this video have to so with you?

  • Yeah cuba nor USSR had were socialistic, nor do they have big governments. Actually dictatorship is usually only with 1 person in charge. That's what makes it dictatorship.

    Well the reason why i care is be cause i am majoring in a couple of things including civics. Therefor I am an expert on thease things such as universal healthcare, politics, economy, idealogy, sociaology. And ignorance piss me off. American media can get away with lieing their asses off. Also thease guys says shit about me.

  • Let me see if I got this correct....the answer is alway to take money away from people who earned it, of which, many of them sacificed and worked hard to get ahead.

  • No you got it wrong. Now go get a dictionary and look up Free. I am fairly confident that even in american dictionaries it means you don't have to pay anything. The funny thing about free healthcare is that YOU DON*T TAKE AWAY MONEY FROM PEOPLE. In america you pay for it. So in america you take away the money from people who earned it. Are you to stupid to think about this for yourself. I mean it's great you like watching Fox but you are allowed to think yourself right?

  • That has to be one of the most assed up responses I've ever heared. FREE...Nothings free except free will. Someone else pays for your medical care. You taxed to death. The achievers are taxed even more. No one works for FREE.

  • I guess english is never was your strong side. It's okay that your jealous over central europe's much higher living standards but you keep telling you self that your country and everything it does is great. And when your family members die be cause they can't afford health insurance, you can always tell you self, Hell atleast they did'n pay tax so it's okay they died 14 years old.

  • 77hawk

    I work on the streets taking people to the Hospital and I can tell you that no one is dieing, in America, because they don't have health care insurance. Futurmore, I see people that call 911 for the stupidest thing because they are so institutionalized into believing that gov't should think for them too.

  • Futurmore=furthermore

  • So if you don't see any murders your self it means there is no murders in USA?

    >20k people die in USA due to lack of basic healthcare per year. If you don't see that then good for you that does not mean it does not happen.

  • 20K+ people die, in America, because they have been dumbed down by the commies in the NEA and in school. People don't take any responsibility for themselves anymore. Gov't health care is their preventive medicine and even with that, there is no amount of gov't health care that will make these people more responsible and they will destory themselves anyway.

  • I just spoke with my comrades in USA, they tell me they have not had any power in USA since.. er.. oh yeah never. 20K people die cause they have no healthcare.

    Clearly of cause you have never taken a civics class since you apparently believe being lazy has anything to do with this. If only the world was as simple as republicans think it is.

  • Comrad hawky poo

    You are the simple one. You believe that all you have to do is give other people's money away and the problem gets solved. Well there's a lot more to it than that. Poor people get free medical care all the time in America. no one is denied. It may not be blue ribbon but they get treated. Stop buying into that commie lie that we are suffering because people dont have health ins. people are suffering because they have no disipline and cause much of their own misery.

  • 1. I am a communist, I don't lie, nor have anyone ever told me to be a communist.

    2. I have universal healthcare so I know what it's like you don't.

    3. I'm a civics major with speciality in social studies in USA.

    4. What the shit do you actually know about this

    5. Just be cause you are not suffering does not mean other aren't

    6. You have no idea why people are suffering all you can tell is that they are in your country and not in mine.

    You just repeat what RNC tell you. Think indepently

  • comrad hawky poo

    You are a useful idiot, like lennin would say. You lie and decieve others with your idioligy. I work in the ghetto and I know a few things that your pompus ass has never seen. I know what is hurting these people and what can actually help them and I can tell you it's not communism.

  • Good job behaving like a fool. When i come up with arguements and all you can do is insult me and say i'm wrong for no reason you just prove that you know shit. I live in the ghetto to you ignorant twit. Also Idealogy is with just 1 I. I ask again what the fuck do you know, your some high school drop out who thinks he knows shit about politics or how the world works. You don't even know what communism is. You are just an indoctrinated ignorant american. Enjoy your shit.
