Rep Alan Grayson Says Republicans Want The Sick To Die Quickly

[xadam2dudex]

health insurance is a scam it makes a profit on denying care to people needing care...if we had a real health care system there would be no insurance companies and those huge profits would go toward health care not CEO bonuses and stock options

isn't that just silly?

[repubtodem]

I think everything he said is correct! Look it up how many die each day do to lack of healthcare also heard republicans want to get rid of Medicare for all of us who have put money in it all these years working! anyone under 52 will not get Medicare if republicans have there way! which they wont!! they want seniors to die funny huh ? The only thing Grayson needs apologize for is his Hitler comment that is just as wrong as it is when any republican says it about Obama hateful!!!!!!!!!!

[btigtime2]

How many people die with health insurance... I think the number is 100%

[omen619]

well, every body that lives right now will die.... I think the number is 100%

If they die in this country because of lack of health care they are idiots and dont deserve to live. I, in the past have had 4 major surgeries and lived with a cronic disease without a stich of insurance. I got help from the government to pay for it, so lets not pretend there is no public option now. We need insurance reform and tort reform to help costs. Problem right is in bed with insurance co. and the left is in bed with lawyers leaving us the citizens fu@#ed.

Under Bush-II there was a study done to see how much extra was being spent because of lawyers. The number came up to only a few percent even though this study was done by folks who absolutely hate lawyers. It isn't the big problem that people seem to think. Insurance companies add about 25% to the cost of health care. This is an amount really worth going after.

The extra paper work needed because no two insurance companies use the same code is also worth going after. It would be easy.

[larry267]

I agree go after the insurance companies, as for tort reform there may only be a few %, but what is the cost of the doctors using defencive medicine so they dont get sued, that is part of tort reform not just law suits

[knowledgemonger]

The few percent included things like defensive medicine. Doctors tend to order extra tests for other reasons. One is the perverse incentives that many of them see. They have an interest in the lab etc. Since they are paid per service and not just to keep you healthy, the more they do the more they get paid.
