Healthcare Reform: Putting Patients First - Medblogger Event At National Press Club

[themou2008]

Why aren't these people on the media? Why hasn't Obama consulted them?

[themou2008]

"if you look at Medicare...Medicare's going bankrupt...". According to Obama, Medicare is very fine Gov. run program.

i cant believe that people dont see the politicians who are against health care reform are owned by the ins companys and the pharmactical companys..ive been on the phone with citizens as part of a group for change...and they want health care reform..for those of u who have your policies watch out

you will be losing them..35% increases in fees will send your employers out of business wake up

[crfranchises1]

@connieas1 So your telling me I will have to spend an extra $15 a paycheck to keep the government from taking more of my money to misuse and to give to the "pour". Make it 20 and count me in.

[DJS59]

Why do liberals feel like they have to control everyone. They cant think past thier damn noses.

[Ryooken]

Um that would not be a liberal mantra. Liberals tend to believe in freedom, individual, choice and social responsiblity. Now as far as this healthcare thing goes. This is my observation. People are more interested in trying to bring down Obama than taking care of the problem of greed in the medical industry. Over 50% of America has government run health care that is over all cheaper and somewhat more effecient than their private counter parts.

[Ryooken]

We have a serious problem in this country and we need to address it. Health care companies are telling us what doctors we can see, what treatments we can have, and how long we can stay in the hospital and which hospital we can go to. They have collectively gotten together with each other and decided to streamline plans that are equally expensive with equal flaws. We need to stop talking about socialism and start looking at seriously creating universal healthcare for everyone.

[shuimaster]

Universal heathcare is easy, GOOD universal healthcare on the other hand... Good luck finding that unicorn. Even france is only good because they put the patient next to the doctor like the Doctalker guy in the video does. Check it out even though you still won't believe it with your eyes.

[DonaldRDeciko]

This is ridiculous. Call me stupid if you want, but is there anyway somebody can tell me what the hell the Obama plan is? This is all theoretical nonesense.... perhaps a list with bullets would go along way for people as dense as I....???....???

[KMAObama]

Reform is not coming and your almost out of time. All the liberals can go to church and pray to your false God about how the liberals are screwing things up by taxing us to death. Then they can go home and take their daughter to get an obortion, stop and pick up a 40, drop the wife and kids off and go gang banging with the homies, get you kin folk of of jail, pick them up from prison, pick up your food stamps, anything but take responsibility for your selves and stop blaiming everyone else.

[SquaddddUp]

what kind of statement is that? That all liberals are "gang bangers"...how insanely ignorant....you are pathetic.

[BenkaiDebussy]

People are people no matter what country they live in. If a policy makes people happy in another country, there is reason to think that it would make people happy in our country.

[Lavastorm1973]

Something is wrong, clearly seen in my videos.

[BenkaiDebussy]

Of course you don't think it's a "big, dumb, angry mob" if you're dumb and angry yourself. Other countries have implemented plans more liberal than that proposed by the Obama administration, and their citizens for the most part are perfectly happy and actually have more satisfaction with their health care than Americans do with ours. There's no rational reason to be upset about this. Unfortunately it's relatively easy to rile up a large group of people using fear.

[siliconweb]

I am a zombie and I will listen to a bunch of perverts on how to live my life. Please perverts let me send my children to die in a foreign land for oil and so that the common people can not have health care for free. I am a zombie.

[UncommonThinker]

All that oil was sold to china. We didn't get anything but the satisfation of knowing we took out a genecidal dictator. I'm happy with that,

[siliconweb]

"we" -- did you fight or die doing this or were you at home watching it on tv? Saddam was NEVER a threat to the US only to Israel. I don't know about you but NO US BLOOD should ever be dropped for someone that is not a threat to the USA and someone who kept the retarded terrorists in check. Big mistake taking him out and it costs so much in human life to do so....NOT worth it and NEVER will be.

[UncommonThinker]

I'd have to agree. But hindsight is always clearer than forsight and in 2003 everyone knew Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The british knew it. The russians knew it. And saddam was saying he had them. It was a judgement call. And the american people are just as responsible as bush.

[siliconweb]

Reform coming and about time. All the conservatives can go to church and pray to God about how the government is screwing things up by helping the poor. Then they can go home and watch porn.

[jazzyhap]

Want the truth?

My video:

HR 3200 - Health Care Reform FACTS - Truth Squad

Has a link to the bill, so you can see it for yourself, AND the video gives a list of points, with page numbers on where to find it in the bill, that you should be aware of.

There is no "spreading of fear" but a spreading of education.

LEARN THE TRUTH!

[SquaddddUp]

riiiight, those morons holding up pictures of Obama as Hitler making absurd statement claiming that Obama will institute euthanasia are realllll intelligent...their method its to shout down congressmen to muddle the debate.

[SquaddddUp]

Obama is a tyrant? The man has been working for bi-partisanship since he announced his plans for health care reform...the Republicans have offered ZERO COOPERATION...Obama is no tyrant...in fact I wish he would be since the Repulicans and the conservative movemwnt clearly could not CARE LESS about the un-insured in this country...

[FranzHess]

This is exactly right. Hey morons giving Sqaddy a thumbs down...you may like like what he has to say, but he is 100% correct. Deal.

[OhioDemocrat]

If fixing health care was so important to republicans why didnt they do any thing about it for the last eight years? The people of the United States elected President Obama for many reasons, but most of all I believe it was to fix the problem of the access to affordable health care for all Americans.

[spatula5]

Why should I have higher taxes that gives me and everyone else healthcare when I don't even want healthcare? I'm sorry healthcare is not a right it's a choice and a choice I want to keep...

[chrysalisangel1]

I'm so proud of those of you I've come to know, and have spoken with. Wes is absolutely right; both patients, doctors, nurses, all those involved in the health care system need to band together for change. Great to see this video!
