A Plan We Can't Afford to Pass Up

[kevingo88]

echt gutes video passt hier kaum rein aber ich suche nette jungs lol ;)

[Maxwedge12000]

Did someone shake the stupid tree? Do a google search for "most profitable industries". The first link you come to should be one by CNN entitled Fortune 500 Top performers. Here you will find the profit margins of various health insurance industries, all at 4% or below. My work is done here, if you morons are detemined to remain morons, feel free.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - That's your big research to prove your point? A google search to a CNN story? "Various health insurance industries?" That's like saying various auto industries. There is only one insurance industry. You really don't know what you are talking about do you? If you think health carriers sell Medical and Rx insurance and make a mere 4% profit you are very foolish. Please make additional comments they make my laugh.

[RepublicanTorture]

So Obama wants to give Insurers the right to run mandatory wellness programs.

Worse than communism.

[daddyg321]

Has anyone else researched the history of this issue? Big gov. overstepping its bounds to fix what wasn't broken caused the problem, doing it again will only make it worse.

[jennbootz349]

i have no idea what im doing with my life. anyone have some advice?

[goodrichardsalmanac]

1) Insurance company profit margins average less than 6%. Quadrupled? From 1.5%. Lol. Nice propaganda.

2) If you get your political opinions from cartoons, that should be an indication that you're doing something wrong.

[BlueSkies360]

Insurance companies profit margin = 2%

[RepublicanTorture]

Oh shut up. 2% is an assload of money and a nice margin in many American businesses. How insulting.

[BlueSkies360]

162K views. Achieved by teen-watching. Our teens are imbecils--I have no doubts about it anymore...

[quizerry]

Wait till they go out into the real world and have to pay bills and TAXES. They won't be so fast to give their lives to big government.

[mrsockhandy]

@BlueSkies360 you are a loser

[freak4yahweh]

Barak Obama is the anti-christ. He wants to screw the american people. uhh, uhhh, oh crap where's my teleprompter??

[billinsporttt]

I will not allow myself to be insured by a health care plan that the senators & representatives who voted for it will not be insured by it. I will pay no fines, I will file no tax return and I will vote out any state representatives & senators who try to foist this on me. It is time for the bloodless revolution...

[09090985]

when barack and congress take the public option so wiil I

[DempsyDoodle]

OMG..R U crazy? Ive been in Health care for 28 years ...to give the Gov. control is going to be horrible. Uncle Sam will tell you who your doctor is and when you can and can't see him. Trust me. Give control to the Government and instead of some having poor health care we all will! You sheep are nuts...smiling all the way to the slaughter.

[Maxwedge12000]

Amen.

[dmaul7]

So when the gov takes all our money and wastes it, (WHICH IS PROFIT),then it's okay?Fuck gov. run healthcare.

[dlucas90]

The problem is, "our" representatives are representing the financial monopolies instead of enforcing anti-trust, anti-monopoly laws.

The govt. claims it need to set up a tax-payer funded govt. insurance program big enough to compete with the monopolies they just bailed out with tax-payer funds. Against the will of the people I might add.

One day, you partisans out there will figure out that it you hate big business than you must also hate big govt. and vice verse, because they are one.

[Shaunt1]

The cost and inefficiency of health care is the fault of government and those large corporations.

[Maxwedge12000]

The federal government now has the ability to keep us all "healthy and virbrant"? WOW, even if we eat crap and don't exercise? Even if we have lousy genetics? A single payer government system can keep me "healthy and vibrant" even if I weight 400lbs? SIGN ME UP!! ROFL

[Maxwedge12000]

nobamacare is a total sham. vote no

[carlosamino]

lmao

[haugenjen143]

Good video. It's important to let everyone know how much money insurance companies make. We, in the Washington St. legislature, were told they must make 25% roi!

[Maxwedge12000]

Actually, they make about 6% net profit.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - This vid is total BS but, where did you get 6% net? 6% is way low. The internal numbers I have seen are staggering. We at the mid and lower levels only wish a larger portion made its way into our profit sharing formula.

[Maxwedge12000]

Fuckface19120- the AP (associated press) released a report that shows the insurance industry profits last year were a mere 2% which is why so many were downgraded. Out of 53 industries surveyed, insurance ranke 35th in profits. obama cannot tell the truth about anything.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - The industry? Your go to source is lumping "all" insurance. P&C Insurance (auto, homeowners) profit margins are very low. But, we are talking about medical or as it is commonly called "health" insurance. Profits have never been higher in medical/Rx insurance. Your knowledge of grading is also poor. Up or down grades are on "Stock" companies. Mutual companies are not owned by stock holders. As a private company our profits are not released or available to the public.

[Maxwedge12000]

Fuckface19120-Just look at the AP report before you spout more unrelated drivel.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000. Unrelated? I am sorry for you if you do not understand who or what the AP actually is. You do realize the AP "report" others findings but the AP doesn't create actual reports. I am telling you straight up my company (and probably many others) made close to 40% PROFIT through the 1st 3Qs 2009. Life & Health Ins is very profitable for us. Choose to believe what you wish but, believe me profitability is not one of our problems in this current market environment. But, Obama is.

[Maxwedge12000]

Fuckface19120- Rattle on all you want but until you read the report and specifically prove it in error all you are doing is making noise.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - Once again, your report lumps P&C with L&H. We are talking about "health" insurance only. Do you still not understand the difference? As a industry profit may be 1.5% once all combined. But Obama doesn't want to change your auto ins because your auto ins co is making too much money. He wants to change your health ins. See the diference? The power of the L&H carriers is that unlike a P&C company we can continue to demand premium while denying claims or certain treatments.

[Maxwedge12000]

No you moron, they looked at the profits from underwriting health insurance only and they made an enemic 6%. Did your parents drop you on your head or something as a baby? Read the report you fuck head or STFU.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - Wow. You really don't understand it do you? Those are reinsurer numbers you are looking at. Most large companies use ASO (admin services only) or SPAG (self funded) medical coverage for their employees and their numbers are not included in that set either. I only wish all who oppose us had a limited knowledge of the situation as you do. We could save a ton of money on lobbyist and counter advertising. Your knowledge of healthcare is poor. Please make additional comments.

[Maxwedge12000]

Fuckface19120- what is it about STFU you don't understand? Please be specific.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - Its the part where a low IQer such as yourself thinks he is calling the shots. I can't make it any clearer than that. I can't dumb it down anymore than that. I can't be responsible for your failed education. But, I will try one more time. Profit is derived from total sales less total expenses. My company has made 40% profit from Jan 1 until Sept 30th on the sale of health insurance. 40% is greater than the 6% you quoted earlier today. Do you understand now? 40 > 6.

[Maxwedge12000]

So, you are attempting to nullify an industry wide report with you anectodal BS? ROFL Move along son and try posting at another video where the people are more gullible.

[Roy19120]

Waxhead12000 - No, not at all. Just trying to educate you on how to read a report and what the numbers really mean. Most all of the comments here have merit. It was your claim of a completely laughable profit percentage that first caught my eye. Once again you are referring to the "industry" and trying to draw a conclusion for health insurance only. You are funny with your "just read the AP report..." And then trying to dismiss someone with "run along son" tactic. Very weak attempt.

[hamnose]

Hey Maxidiot 12000, . After watching you lying and lobbying like a good little slave for an industry that considers you a piss ant, it would be so funny to see you get cancer, then get denied coverage by your insurer. I'd like to hear what you'd have to say then, just so I could laugh at your misery.

[werhalpin]

confusing web site....was able to answer #2 ..in detail

#3 generally...and then couldn't advance to #4

bye

[jennbootz349]

til the sun comes up, til the sun comes up.. take me home. hit it and quit it, thats what all guys like right?

[FairMindedWatcher]

Hey, I have news for all of you idiots. The evil "healthcare companies" you hate are the ones working with Obama on the plan. The people who want to open it up to competition are getting shut out of the meetings. This is communist propaganda. You're attacking your own allies in a lie that you are opposed to them, while your communist leader is making backroom deals to screw the elderly on drug costs.

[fugeww40]

no you idiot the prices will increase so they dont go bankrupt . if they lower prices they wouldnt be able to stay alive leaving you and me forced into obama care. plus i dont want a politician deciding what my medical treatment should be i would like a doctor for that thank you very much. also what is so wroung with a buisness doing well in this economy . demicrates know nothing im serious

[shouldlistentoronpau]

Yeah, cause the government needs a new institution to bankrupt like medicare, social security, the post office...

[claycrusher18213]

are you over 70, well if so the government thinks you are worthless now so why live? THIS IS HOW THE BILL TREATS PEOPLE

[daviddubdub]

Search for: "David Dub"

[countrygirl96212]

another step towards communism

[proudtexan2]

exactly

[tcgthevidiots]

But the public option won't deliver the same quality of care as the private companies (as the private sector has always created a better product than the government), so this commercial had it backwards. Those with private insurers will get better treatment and won't be sick.

[27thepusher]

Don't fall for this crap! It is very deceptive. Nazism!

[eunicejules]

You know what you peps should do? go on myspace and look up supercoolnerds and listen to them their legit. look for the song i hate you daddy

[hawkerdoo]

I get it now! The progressive liberal movement is a cartoon. In 2010 we will erase all the charactors in office now, starting with Reid and Pelosi.

[revolutionaryverse]

corporations and goverments both different in their methods and morals but equally as evil

[steveinusa]

yea, this is step one to socialism/communism.

Liberals want to kick grandma to the curve.

[ooMONKEYoo]

Kick grandma to the "curve"[curb]? Insurance companies we have now have been doing that for years.

[vans4menu]

Nothing works like it should in a monetary system. healthcare shouldnt be a fucking bussiness. Period.

[ToobeYoo]

THE BILL IS TOTAL PORK.

If you suckers are so convinced on a public option for health insurance, then at least get a bill that isn't full of pork and 1,500 pages long.

[338jon]

I love how the people running the usa are so upside down.

[AllGuitarAllMetal]

Lol if this commercials quality is anything like what their healthcare is gonna be like then count me out.

[Abeastlypie]

Wow. Embarrassing. It's the "Public Option". That option will be universal because all the idiots are going to say "Oh hey, it's free! Let's choose this!". After all the idiots choose that, health care costs will rise even more causing more people to drop out of their plans, eventually causing the companies to disappear. This is a plan that we can definitely afford to pass up.

[greg0658]

audio buzz .. very wordy for cartoon .. just ok video pro .. scene2 insurance plan drop into round file wastecan

[ObamasLipsAreMoving]

When government competes, government cheats...

[WinChicken]

You suck, If you want competition open up boarders let me choose my plan (not my boss) stop all the mandates and get the government out of it all together. You well see prices fall faster then Obama's popularity polls

[amfroberts]

Wonderfully creative! Love the message and the animation... The visuals are outstanding!
