[anika920]

@buakawkaoklai angry! I did not vote for Bush. I hate Glenn and Rush... learn how to articulate so I can understand your fit of rage

[JonDavidson]

Hey all you commentators talking about how EVIL all the insurance companies are. Google your Senator and Congressman's phone number, and barrage them with calls about how you feel about the insurance money they pocketed. The Democrats are changing their tune in recent weeks. It amazing what a few million dollars in your pocket will do for you.

The politicians have been bought and paid for; they're the ones we need to scream at.

[GDragon9666]

your right, its not the compagnies fault for advanceing their interests, its really the politiciens who betrayed his loyalties with them....they all deserve lynching.........

[70road]

United Health has the highest denial rate at 40%, that means that they refuse to pay 40% of their claims. Take a minute and think about that. Evil is to kind a word for people like this.

[70road]

Greed and arrogance has destroyed this country, anyone who can not see this is either blind or a fool.

[pam883r]

Once you know the truth

you can never go back.

[ljl765]

HOW is this not first degree murder, premeditated murder for profit?? HOW?? screw the guy who is supposed to be the anchor..I don't know him, "Morning Meeting" but does he work for FOX too:-) He should.

[Unknown0rigin]

I Love how, even when they do not have a representative on the show, Dylan Radigan lets a health insurance company get in the last word. Dylan Radigan is beyond annoying. He loves to listen to his own voice too much.

[rainmon]

I hope all these greedy health ins executive burn in hell...

[Paolo7219]

What's truly amazing is how so many people who would BENEFIT from healthcare reform are the SAME people who scream 'Socialism!' when the subject of real reform comes up. 14000 Americans lose their healthcare each day. Medical bills is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US. These facts don't seem to matter.

[Silberdachs]

Paolo: Never underestimate the total gross stupidity of the Republican base.

[checkurself]

These reporters brush off this issue as if it's not a big deal if someone profits off of sick. It's sad. They are affected by the very same thing we are. It almost sounds like a 3rd world country....they tried to charge people in Bolivia for collecting rain water. Capitalism. And to think we are suppose to a Christian nation. Jesus would be outrage. He would be backing Universal Health care. Easies for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle then to go to Heaven. I believe it.

[ldruide]

I live in Canada and one of the only flaws of our '' socialized medecine '' is the need for more doctors. The reason ? Greed. A lot of them move to the USA to make even more money. Besides that anything could happen to me and the system can take care of me for years if needed for free!

[bla34112]

a soft ball interview... but what can you do, there is no real opposition to it

[clmorgan]

A lot of outraged Americans have suffered the indignities of unfair insurance company practices. Please let's get the profit motive out of the business of people's health care needs.

[Hypster123]

Demaestr0..your bang on, 100% agreed

[Sparkanoid1]

In fact looking by the dangerous way they are behaving, I think you are heading for civil war part two

[Sparkanoid1]

Thanks to Republicans,  America will be a shadow of its former self in 30-50 years

[sareva60]

Isn't it already?

[Hypster123]

robert greenwald is one of the FEW educated, the truly free americans who knows whats what, by possibly reading a book and doing research, the MOST of americans unfortunatly are the opposite and therefore nobody will take notice of him..shame..

[Demaestr0]

What is even more sad is that many Americans do try to educate themselves on a topic. The problem is that they trust some "news" agencies as their source for information

In many cases the news they subscribe to is giving a bias view,or is misinforming people with propaganda, or is straight out lying to them

Worse than someone who isn't educated, is someone who thinks they are but have been lied to or misinformed.

Look outside your borders and see that no-one would trade their system for yours

[nohealthcare62]

[darealdjnutz]

Health Care for Profit is Amoral.

[Abaharaki]

[connielane]

Some things should not be governed by the motive to make a profit! If it makes you feel better go ahead and call me a socialist but what I am NOT IS A FASCIST!

Read the bills BEFORE you tell me what it says or you are nothing but a mind controlled liar (idiot). I've read it so I know who's lying and why!

[justonefirefly1]

The republicans have an ad about how if Stephen Hawkins who lives in the UK had been under the british healthcare he would not have been allowed to live. Stphen Hawkins replied that he was born in England and thanks to their healthcare he has lived way past what was ever expected for him. See what fing liars the republicans are. Ad was distributed by IDS - some insurance lobby i think ---Good thing Stpehn Hawkinson saw their ad and responded quickly. LIARS REPUBLICAN LIARS

[limitedgovt999]

Most politicians are liars, not just republicans.  If you think the govt is going to fix the major problems with health insurance you are in for a major shock.

I encourage you to read why health insurance was actually affordable back in the early 1900s when one days pay covered you for the whole year.

[justonefirefly1]

After seeing Armey on Meet the Press - where he basicly says that medicare should be taken away.

That should show you what the republicans have in store for america. They have wanted to do that for so long and with the lies they have spread and perpatrated over healthcare - they will get the job done. 8 years of their unending lies apparently wasn't enough for this god forsaken country.

[Robotocracy]

Robert Greenwald is a beacon of light in the dark web of lies that makes up much of the media.

[sugarpuddin88]

World Health Organization ranked the countries of the world in terms of oval health performance, and the U.S. (was) 37th In the fairness of health care, America is 54th. The irony is that the United States spends more per capita for health care than any other nation in the world, (The European Dream p 79 80 & NYT Nov 22, 2004). American education is the same

Soulless Insurance & Pharma Corps legally bribe politicians - See my video about avg payout between 1 to 4 million per Senator

[pt2091]

Wow. You could obviously tell who sponsors CNBC after watching this quasi-debate. It was essentially a news anchor trying to make a point that for-profit insurance companies are actually less if not equal in morality then a non profit government organization. A lot of you might be saying "well, some insurance companies are non profit..." it still doesn't matter. It is set up on a business schematic, CEOs still snag your money. Although it is true government is corrupt in many facets....

[sugarpuddin88]

Due to morbidity & morality of babes, the hospitalized, pregnant women, access, etc., the USA is ranked 54th in Medicine world wide

It is also the only industrialized nation not to give access of health care to its citizens

75% of all health care costs in TEXAS go to treat Illegal Aliens, (per recent TX congressman - write me for any citations & references)

[PaulLeary]

Keep it up! You're the only one making sense about health care and telling the true. Keep the pressure on!

[sugarpuddin88]

Health Care in USA is ranked 54th (Pay more and get lots lots less)

USA is only developed country not to offer health care to citizens

US is 41st in world in infant mortality Cuba scores higher

Women are 70% more likely to die in childbirth in America than in Europe

Leading cause of death of pregnant women in USA is murder

US is dead last in the growth rate of total compensation to its workforce; they worker longer hours than any other nation & with least vacation time!

[blupheonix44]

WTF is this "death panel" boogieman??

Please explain.....

[kazooga1234]

i think that its the lie of killing old people and people with disablititys but im not 100% sure on that and either way its completely stupid i hope we get the public option

[Xenu]

They had him on for 2 minutes!!! barely enough time to make an argument!!

[Pillat07]

that's a good point
