The U.S. health care system was already facing a shortage of approximately 150,000 doctors in the next decade or so, but thanks to the health care "reform" bill passed by Congress, that number could swell by several hundred thousand more.
A 32-year-old took the needle into his hands when he tired of the wait at Sundsvall hospital in northern Sweden and sewed up the cut in his leg himself. The man was later reported to the police for his impromptu handiwork.
"It took such a long time," the man told the local Sundsvall Tidning daily.
"I first went to the health clinic, but it was closed. So I rang the medical help line and they told me that it shouldn't be closed, so I went to emergency and sat there for hours....
I stopped in here and posted a few days ago - why have all the ratings been changed? this video was posted in Aug 09. I KNOW it's had more than 15 ratings....
Is youtube running the obama campaign for HC? Believe me, after suffering under British HC you don't want govt run care.
Yes, some people argue singer payer is "more efficient'. I ask - then WHY is medicare/aid BROKE to the tune of $60 Trillion dollars. Govt is NOT efficient. LOOK at this VIDEO! Self dental care?? Yes, that is "efficient" but I DO NOT WANT IT. What is next in efficiency - operate on yourself?
It's clear socialized medicine is less expensive NOT because govt is efficient, but because they DENY/RATION care w/LONG wait times.
I wonder why HC reform bill does NOT contain a SINGLE DIME of money to increase resources. No incentives to become a doc, nurse, physical therapist - it doesn't even provide for ONE single clinic to be built.
WHY is that? Adding tens of millions into the system (increased demand) WHY no increase in SUPPLY??
Reform MUST increase WAIT TIMES and LOWER CARE. Simple really when you're intellectually honest.
Plus it adds mandates and TAXES and PENALTIES on businesses... bad news.

@choclabs3 actually i was referring to how dumb this video is. It's really misleading and doesn't show much truth in what it is implying. I live in canada and i study and work in health care. I've never gotten sick and needed to line up or "get a number" like what you've suggested. A lot of Americans take advantage of our health care and actually come to canada to get surgeries and other procedures. Reform does not increase wait times nor adds taxes/penalties.
@apk2 you missed my humor - I knew what you meant.
As to your last sentence "reform does not increase wait times nor adds taxes/penalties" I posit you have not read the bill nor do you have the slightest grasp of the facts.

Q: When you increase demand (40 mil uninsured) while keep supply level or lowering it (AMA 51% of doc plan on retiring b/c of reform) then YOU INCREASE WAIT TIMES and decrease SERVICES.
and it I don't buy ins and PROVE it on IRS form I'm FINED.

@choclabs3 Everyone has their own opinion and i'm really grateful that I live in Canada because our health care system saved a number of family members of mine. Now, there are a number of different pros and cons to all health care systems and I believe if you really do weigh them out you'll find that you do save a lot of money in the long run from a single-payer system. It's not socialist. It's just keeping the system more efficient. That's just my opinion.
SO do you mean that with the Obama plan all the private insurance are going to be wiped away? I thought I heard him clearly say you could keep your own plan, thus the government option would only add to our options. So all the innovative insurance programs could still keep on innovating, right????
@mrstrings65 this is what govt debt does to US - is enslaves us as people actually CHEER on pres BO... and CONgress, and former pres... all while we're being enslaved by DEBT:

SS Medicare/aid - both socialistic programs BROKE by TRILLIONS of dollars.
And we create ANOTHER entitlement? What was wrong w/medicare?? That is what WE paid our TAXES to fund!!
Why can't GOVT FIX WHAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE AND BROKEN?????
REad what Elijah Emanuel one of the healt advisors thinks. He thinks infants are not as valuable as young adults and old poeple are less valuable than younger people. Can you say Eugenics.
I'm amazed health care has become so bad in the UK and Canada. I grew up in the Netherlands where health care is still superb and readily available, just like in most European countries. I'm moving to Spain in a few months which is rated #4.
Maybe the government should support better education in the US, Canada and the UK?
I love it when Europeans come to America and want it to be just like Europe. Just like a German lady I know that thinks American free speech against political candidates I don't want to live under the mommy state. If I did I would move.
I thought the disaster was obvious. It will raise taxes and cause more people to "not" be covered. If your over 65 they will do everything they can to kill you. They won't treat you but they will help you commit suicide though.
Socialized HC = Arizona has stopped funding medicaid transplants. Like UK - govt DENIES surgeries to save cash!
In 1 month, TWO people are now DEAD - a direct result of GOVT RUN HC DENIAL.
WHY would anyone want the Govt to TAKE OVER HC? ASK - what will I do if my GOVT run Ins co says DENIED?
This is REAL - 2 DEAD in AZ because GOVT CUT FUNDING to the POOR.
Ask is there money for INCREASED RESOURCES? NO - YOU should ask WHY NOT!
hint: cuts are coming!

Q: "when you take all the profits away you can save money right?"
Your question is not a legit question as profits are income less expenses. PERIOD. Profits are not a line or budget item.
My HC ins is BC/BS - a NON-profit company (who does an excellent job! In past yr I had colon resection and L5S1 disk operation).
My point - Just look at Germany - RAISING TAXES. UK CUTTING procedures. Greece amputations cheaper than shoes!
in USA - Govt denies more claims than priv ins! Look it up!

Now Greece says to their diabetic patients - special shoes costs too much, "amputations are cheaper".

Note the space in the URLs at .com . This is what you get from Socialized care.
In Canada you need TO PAY for private insurance or you won't get expensive drugs to save your life while increasing "user fees"...

Germany just raised the taxes to cover their "free" health care (just so we all agree, nothing is free yes?)
Now Germans are taxed at 15.5% of their GROSS income = over 30% of their take home PAY.
