Part Five: Rep. Alan Grayson: "We Can Save These People Or Let Them Die"

[AGiantSloar]

Yes, more like this please. We need more righteous moral leadership like that of Rep. Grayson!

[munrotat]

hope you get your health care working.. it's cin crazy state now. thankfuly we have here in finland 100% health/sosial care, ewerybody get's food/home/medisine, i admit it cost alot but the benefits are mutsh bether :) oyul have the hole population healthy and working.. im so hapy i was born here in finland, sweden and norwhay have same system. no mather what happens you whill not starve or need to sleep outside. think about that. i gladly pay my taxes for that, life is covered no mather wha

[spphilthy]

We need free health care BUT free healthcare will be more coastly than what people know. The worth of the dollar will drop the more we barrow money from the Federal Reserve and the World Bank. We have been borrowing and increasing debt for a decades, almost a century.

[spphilthy]

The dollars worth has dropped more than 90%. The dollar will eventually be worthless. Eventually we will have a TOTAL reform of America. The source of every problem that pertains to this country and the world is literally MONEY. If we do not fix that problem, money will keep its hands around humanities throat.

[Meejoe27]

I would rather corporations be profitable than for myself and my family to live a healthy life.

I'm not rich, why should my life matter?

If my life was important i would be rich, right?

Republicans are right guys, just mail your checks to the corporations, they are more important than our stupid poor lives.

Profits > life

[theastrusmega]

GJ Alan....

It looks like your money didnt corrupt you much at all.

[localboy32]

who cares how much it cost, i rather pay a more than see a kid grow up without a father or mother because they got sick

All these numbers but theses are people lives

[KamikazeKoscki]

Agent Orange contains varying amounts of dioxin, White Phosphorus, force vaccinations that are killing people around the world, WE CAN NOT TRUST OUR GOV. WITH UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, THEY ARE ENCHOOTS WITH THE ROTHSCHILD WHO ARE CONTROL BY THE DEVIL, THEY WANT 500 MILLION SLAVES ONLY, NWO TO CHIP EVERYONE, ONE WORLD RELIGION, ONE WORLD MILITARY, ONE WORLD CURRENCY, BANK HOLIDAY WILL COME, FEMA CAMPS, THEY WANT OUR GUNS! ARTICLE ONE SECTION 8 DOES NOT ALLOW THE GOV. TO RUN OUR HEALTH CARE.

[MaHaRushie]

Sure everyone wants better health care. We just know that you ass clowns can't get it done.

[thatswhattheyis]

Pleeeze pay for my medical treetments. I can only live in 0-gravity to be pain free. I need to live on the ISS. It will only cost each American $3 per day for my medical team up there and me. Oh, i am nots a resident, so all i am currently doing is breaking federal law. But nice democrats won't let them ask if i should be heres or not, so you needs to vote for bill so i can ride last shuttle to Int. Space Station for a place to live pain free. Don't holocaust me like grayson said earlier.

[hassleoffa]

This man is a great American.

[WhyMeWhySilver]

Would the people rather give 1 Trillion dollars over the next 10 years for (healthcare) something they can benefit from or give the Bankers 1 trillion dollars all over again and not know where it goes to. And not to mention that the greater of taxes come in the form of raised interest rates on your credit cards even though your history with the CC Company is excellent? Hmmmm 1 trillion over 10 years and it took only a month for the Banks to get their money.

[edmctigue]

If just one more life is saved.....

[angelwatching1]

Alan Grayson for President 2016.

[nohealthcare62]

Thank You Alan Grayson I hope u run 4 President U r the BEST Person who ever would RUN in the History of the USA U got my Vote 4 LIFE ! U r a American Hero and a SAINT ! SAINTOS SAINTOS !

[ActsOfFreedom]

I'm curious about the missing minutes.

[gerry1976]

Yes we all are gonna die one day for one reason or other, but lets not die because of lack of Health Isurance.

Would you like your son and daughter to die at the age of 20 because you don't have the money to pay? Well if you're millionaire you got 50,000 dlls to pay easily, but if you're in the 95% of americans that are middle class, then you need some Health Isurance, and if its gonna be free, I'll be a Democrat for the rest of my life.

[compassionrepublican]

he cares only about his ego and getting on the liberal paywagon ( soros, penn, dinero, pitt, etc)

[sheepwshotguns]

as a republican, aren't you supposed to be pro-life? you should be cheering this man on.

[kaysandesses]

@sheepwshotguns Shame on you. Republicans only care about people before they're born. What they start breathing air then the GOP doesn't give a shit about them.

[Greywyn7]

Definitely. They'll fight abortion with everything they have while simultaneously trying to get rid of stuff like welfare.

[kaysandesses]

It's even worse than that. They fight health reform bills that provide for services such as pre-natal health. They just want a live baby to hit the ground. It doesn't have to be healthy.

[Greywyn7]

I think it's just faux-empathy. It's THEIR fault they got pregnant, so THEY are going to be punished by being FORCED to give birth to it.

Just a bunch of theocrats (most of them).

[rrp1973]

Being prolife and anti welfare are not inconsistent positions to hold. I am pro choice, but I see no inconsistency here. Pro lifers are trying to protect the fetus from an ACTION that would cause its death. People dying from a LACK OF ACTION is a completely separate matter. You have a right to not be murdered, you do not have a right to be kept alive at a cost imposed on others. This is a clear line that always gets lost, ACTION vs. LACK OF ACTION. Huge difference.

[kaysandesses]

That's is perhaps one of the most depraved, uninformed bit of nonsense I've ever read. You see no inconsistency because you're brainwashed by your religion. Tell me, would it make a difference if the only people on welfare were white?

"People dying from a LACK OF ACTION is a completely separate matter."

Google "depraved indifference".

[rrp1973]

You make alot of incorrect assumptions about me. I stated I am pro choice and I sure as hell am not brainwashed by any religion. I disagree with prolifers on the moral status of a fetus.

You can support welfare and still acknowledge my points. The right to be left alone and the "right" to be provided for are completely different.

I am not sure why you brought race into this, it is irrelevant.

[kaysandesses]

Sorry, I misread parts of your post and incorrectly interpreted your position as being radically religious. I understand your point that there is a difference between action and no-action but I cannot agree that pro-life and anti-welfare are consistent from a humanitarian point of view. Most abortion opponents gain their viewpoint from their religion, and their anti-welfare stance from their politics. Their differing origins make them inconsistent. You passed the race question.

[nvieira100]

@kaysandesses Actually, "welfare" is what the bible calls "charity", so in a sense they should be getting welfare from their religion as well.

[kaysandesses]

@nvieira100 Agreed.

[justice79170]

@nvieira100 I'm not on welfare, never been. But I would like to see the high taxes that I pay go to helping people that need help instead of it going to corrupt corporations, corrupt members in Congress and most of all the corrupt financial institutions on Wall Street. If people on welfare could operate like they do, we would all be very successful

[sheepwshotguns]

i guess its party first, not principles.

[baddmanaz]

pitt shoulda won the oscar for benjamin button. :P

[RenkorsHorde]

A Democrat... with balls... now I've seen everything.

[iamavet]

If Grayson accepts the same Health Plan for him and his family and takes a pay cut to pay for it, than I will look at this HC plan. Otherwise 'let them die', since global warming is cause by over population and all the CO2 they put into the air.

[RockyWhyNot]

I'm all for cooling -off the planet. Let's start by letting people like YOU die off. One degree at a time.

[Greywyn7]

It's an OPTION you dumbass. Grayson is RICH. The TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans who don't have health insurance AREN'T.

Jesus would be ashamed of you theocratic morons.

[iamavet]

Something wrong with people like you who call everyone a 'name' just because they disagree with the 'dumbass' Dem Congress.

Congress can help the 5% people that do not have insurance and not change or degrade the other 95% who already have insurance.

Maybe they could just expand the Medicaid program and just raise income tax on all Liberal and progressives, like you, to pay for it.

[lukedee12]

wait, so you are saying that 95% of people in this country are covered under and insurance plan? Why are we spending 1 Trillion dollars on 5% of the population and how will private insurance compete with "public option" which is a public run health insurance policy. this means that the public insurance plan doesn't need a to make a profit to stay in business, thus running the private insurance out of business. then research and technology dramatically decreases because of no competition.. nice

[bundlesjr]

There already is no competition, thats the point of this bill. WE are the ones getting raped and not these multi-million dollar corporations. I'd would rather turn the tables on them before I would let thousands more honest-living families to struggle paying healthcare. Who's side are you on??

Beside that, in Canada, France and Britain, private insurance is doing just fine. When outside US borders its not the same healtcare for some reason.

[sharinganclan213]

so you cant increase competition without having a massive government program? why do libs think big government is the way to go?

[bundlesjr]

When I get asked this question I immediately start thinking, "Well has the other side thought of something better yet, or are they still arguing about whether McCain is bette than Palin?"

Look, this may not be the ideal plan, but for now its certainly the best. Personally, If you want to put your money on 2010 then make sure you know what happened in '94. Conservatives already have a track record for stopping the bill and leaving everyone out in the cold on healthcare.

[sharinganclan213]

thats not what im hearing from teh republican side. they say, we should allow increase competition by allowing insurers across states, am i right here? I just dont see why we should have a big massive goernment program without trying different things first.

[Investrite1]

Why does this man hate women ?

[monkeypeopleofearth]

5 stars!

[RazorShultzor]

First! :D Nice vid as usual
