Yeah, it could be worse. You could be dead. Because health care is so obscenely unaffordable, countless people die every day because they can't afford any type of treatment whatsoever. Great message there!
want, of course, that's what's freedom of speech is for. There are good people in every culture, and if you really think for some reason that Obama isn't good for the US then that's fine with me, but it speaks for itself when i say that if i don't agree with that reason i'll try to change the way you think, not violently but politely and normal like everyone else, and if i can't convince you, that's fine too and then i'll try to understand that reason. OK?
Nationalized health care ends up becoming about turf-protection, central control, dehumanization of individuals, and a monopoly on health service rationing to a clique of “masters of the universe” who end up thinking their number-crunching degrees in epidemiology give them moral license to determine who deserves to live and die.
@ARepublicanVictory not necessarily, democrats want everyone to be able to express his own believes and religions, no matter if this is about christians or jews or even a muslim, please do not get the wrong picture from democrats, and of course not every democrat is the same and is just as tolerant but it's not any different with republicans, it doesn't matter what you believe in or what you think is right and it doesn't matter what i think or believe either, people are free to say what they
@anomonyous Democrats want him/her to express his/her beliefs ACCEPT FOR THE CHRISTIAN BELIEF. Democrats give out a terrible signal everytime they attack Christmas and endorse losers that attack Christ. Everytime I look up, Democrats hang around the side of the spectrum that is mostly atheist to agnostic. Most socalists are atheists who do not even believe in Jesus or God. I have and never will trust a Democrat on religious issues. If Democrats also believed in God, they would outlaw abortion
@littleladieinbigworld. WTF? If thats what republicans do, then what about the democrats? I'll bet that they are screwing us ten times as bad. Stop trolling or stfu
If taxes covering healthcare is so bad, then ask the billionare Dick Cheney why he went to the veterans hospital for his heart surgery. He is rich enough to have gotten it done ANYWHERE and by ANYONE, yet he used OUR tax money- not to fix a broken toe, but to save his life. He trusted it to SAVE HIS LIFE.
You want taxes to be based on a percentage, yet Obama wanted Single Payer Option, which bases coverage on just that very thing, and you said "NO. It's not fair!"
If you are lucky enough or rich enough to have healthcare, or have never been ROYAL SCREWED by the insurance companies in order for them to get an even bigger bonus, then I don't want to hear it from you!
Funny that Republicans were all for FORCING us to get AUTO insurance a few years back. Now it’s unconstitutional. Could it be that it would GIVE money to the greedy Billionaire Fat Cats (who donate so much more to them then they do to any Democrats) while this may cost them some of their precious dimes? NONE OF YOU WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT, WERE YOU! Wake Up! Stop helping the rich to get richer and realize that we are the ONLY industrialized country on the planet without universal healthcare!
we need to get rid of the military....its not fair that the poor and people of color have to go off and die in wars to promote the freedoms of selfish conservatives who arent willing to do the same. No healthcare for Americans, why have the military?
Jesus Christ, America is not other countries, you morons! Since when did the rest of the world have a 70% obesity/overweight rate (and soaring)??? Stop comparing us to the rest of the world you drooling half-wits.
@pakijonny Sorry that you were denied entry... next time try to come here illegally- you will not be refused.... Or better yet, use your OBVIOUS CHARM, bag and tag an American woman, have a kid and join for free !!!!
@bennyf11 No!! I must have missed that channel on my 1 million cable cahnnel tv package or I might have missed it searching on my smart phone or mYbe since this is not Australia, this has NOT A GODDAMN thing to do with Obamacare...To humor you, by the 'essentials', do you mean no charge to visit the Aborigine (sorry for the spelling, but I obviously don't care about you) Witch Doctor? Do I pay a premium if Crocodile Dundee does the procedure- now THAT's a knife... please let us Americans know.
@madelineolivia It means that, when I, for example, get hit by a car at the age of 8, break 3 ribs, a femur, and fracture my head, that I get rushed to the nearest hospital, and it costs me not one dime.
On the other side, I do have Private Cover, but I can choose to use it or not. If I want one of the best people working on, for example, my eye, then I shall let my Health Insurance pay for it. If I need urgent cover, then the Emergency Department provides free care for every citizen.
@bennyf11 For the sake of your country's economy, they should have just put you out of your misery when you were TO DAMN STUPID and got s boo-boo playing in traffic !!! Yes you were cared for, and it looks like it didn't cost you a quill, but who paid the bill to let you live? Do Doctors work free? Who pays their lifestyle?How are these "freebies" being paid for? Do you think with your repaired head fracture that you can elaborate how the costs for Aussie-care differ from Obamacare? elaborate
@madelineolivia The taxpayer (including myself) paid for it. The Government pays for the doctors to work in Public Hospitals, and most do it cause they think its the right thing to do. I do know there is a huge deficit in compassion, but considering the narcissistic nature of Americans who can blame ya. The government here is wealthy enough to be able to support every Australian requiring an emergency ambulance, or emergency treatment, eye tests every 2 years, limited preventative care etc.
@madelineolivia The costs for Australian Medicare are paid by way of a Medicare Levy or Surcharge that is billed to every taxpayer. If you have Private Health insurance (and use it) you get rebates. Obama is trying to introduce a Baby-version of this, whereby People can get the help they need, and can pay more for premium healthcare if they need it. Its better then having to fork out a few thousand dollars to save some fingers when its done for FREE under medicare. Isn't heath more important??
@bennyf11 Sorry, the economy of my state is greater than the economy of your country. In our country, we have an expression-- "Keep drinking the Kool-aid"... this applies directly to your comments about a situation and environment you have no knowledge of other than what you read.. Imagine tripling the population of Australia with people whose existance are paid for entirely by the government..housing, meals, wages, health care, education, etc... Triple your surcharge... People take advantage!
@madelineolivia and while I am at it, We do have Cable over here (Mostly with your crap on it, which is why I don't care for it) and we do have smartphones and other gadgets. In many ways, I think Aussies are smarter then people like you could ever be :)
America... You guys are to fucking shit with your money, "If your not rich your a failure" says America to itself! I mean, really, WTF? I'm not taking a biased opinion, but you guys care too much about money. care about each other and you'll do something remotly right. Aftear all, your the third shittest country on the planet from an economic/political/social balance. ...you'll be old too someday...
PS, i'm from N.ireland, and as everyone else has said, healthcare over here is fast and cheapish.
Why do you Americans tend to care so much about money? To most of you, if you don't make money because your employers don't give you equal rights and your children's school doesn't give them a descent education, then it's YOUR problem. I mean how the fuck can you call yourselves a country with that? Its like chucking a bunch of untrained soldiers into a pit or magma and saying, "If you die, it's your fault for not being good enough"
As with DeityStuff, I also live in Britain, and have I have NEVER had to until wait the next day to get healthcare, and I hear its even better in France. American healthcare is categorically the worst in the developed world because it was (rather stupidly) placed in the hands of private companies.
Who would you rather trust not to cut-costs or wriggle out of policies? The officials elected by you, or some multinational corporation?
Americans would love to see health care for all, the problem here is that we are being asked to pay for everyone else's health care in the middle of a recession while the government lies to us and tells us that the public option is not a "government takeover" even as prominent Democrats have been on record saying that it will lead to just that"
This sir is whats wrong with Americans some of you have no clear image of the real world you all are like sosialism is good xD
When these idiots can't even run their own lunchroom correct they are certainly too incompetent to run any kind of health care program. They have already run Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security down the tubes . If zero has one functioning brain cell he knows for a fact that this country will soon be bankrupt due to big government spending. The thing most people don't wan to believe is this is what he wants.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
republican just think about them self is about everyone not being able to afford health care, but one thing that we have to solve is brining down the unemployment rate down because if this bill passes and people who don't have jobs, how are they going to be able to pay for their health insurance because it is not free insurance.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
right as a brit who has grew up with the NHS can I ask what do you yanks have against the concept of health care for all?, sure the NHS isn't perfect (no one claims it is) but it isn't the botch machine that republicans claim it to be. Is it right that poor people should be denied health care so the well healed can pay less tax/ get priority treatment in hospitals?
Americans would love to see health care for all, the problem here is that we are being asked to pay for everyone else's health care in the middle of a recession while the government lies to us and tells us that the public option is not a "government takeover" even as prominent Democrats have been on record saying that it will lead to just that.
We only want to keep our freedom to choose. Here we believe that what is ours is ours unless we let the gov't have it. To say otherwise is a slippery slope to total gov't control.
@groberts1776 want, of course, that's what's freedom of speech is for.
