Squeeze

[jonathanwindham]

The sources that this video is citing (like the Lewin group and the "council for affordable health insurance") are right wing think tanks and not legitamate sources.

Squeezed enough by the insurance companies, who are now facilitating the spending of millions on an ad campaign to protect their fortunes, and deny millions of decent folk and their children access to basic health. It's time that governments enabled people stand on their own two feet - by not having insurance companies chop them off at the knees

But on the plus side it will make companies LOSE Billions in profits every year.

the people running these ads are the insurance company and hospitals that make millions of dollars are year.

If you think that these people are telling the truth, you need to check further. The Health industry is spending lots of money to stay in business selling you misinformaiton.

C4PatientsRights dont care about people they just care about making money

[rafamerchan]

Conservatives for Patients Rights is run by Rick Scott, the former head of Columbia/HCA, a for-profit hospital chain. Mr. Scott was forced out of that job amid a fraud investigation; the company eventually pleaded guilty to charges of overbilling state and federal health plans, paying $1.7 billion — yes, thats billion — in fines. You cant make this stuff up.

The government meets 45% of all health care costs already, 36% is met by insurers and the rest is out of pocket.

But 80% of all health care costs are incurred in the last 2 years of life when most people are on Medicare.

That means Medicare is doing a great job. But where the **** does the private insurance money go?

Go figure....

[kluber2]

I tell u where it goes. $20 million bonus salary for CEO of Health ins. Co., billions in annual profits for these companies....

If C4Patientsrights (Rick Scott) is SO CONCERNED with ACTUAL patients rights, how come we NEVER...NEVER heard their mouths UNTIL now- when our nation is trying to reform health care?

Rick Scott, the FAGGOT that was in charge of Columbia HCA, pleaded GUILTY and fined $1.7 billion for DEFRAUDING MEDICARE. Its like trusting Bernie Madoff with ur money !

[onlyrey]

@hausk, This is a good analysis.

The reasons behind this commercials are interesting...

Richard Scott, the founder of the organization behind these commercials has plenty health care experience in the US; the dirty kind of experience I might add.

He was CEO of HCA. In 2000, HCA (which by then had expunged Columbia from its name) pleaded guilty to no fewer than 14 felonies. Over the next two years, it would pay a total of $1.7 billion in criminal and civil fines.

AHH WHY SHOULD I HELP POOR PEOPLE

/makes $1200 monthly payment on speedboat

[cactustactics]

The funny thing is Americans already pay taxes toward healthcare, like paying for ER treatment for uninsured patients, and these healthcare taxes are higher than in almost every first world country with UHC. Throw in the private costs and the average American already pays far more than citizens in UHC countries.

Assuming we can set up a system as efficient as the majority of other first world countries, taxes would actually drop, costs would come down and the population would be healthier.

THAT'S RIGHT, EVEN YOUR SODA, FATTY!

Also, the more the government squeezes from you, the less there is for the insurance industry.

Everyone involved in making this video is a waste of skin. There are burn victims who could make better use of your skin than you currently are.

[Korendian199]

FUCK YOU, GOT MINE.

[thunderfingers3]

Is it okay to have an ulcer from watching all this shit be said?

[kelsbackonyoutub]

I don't know about other Americans, but I don't want a nationally funded health care system, or a bureaucrat between me and my doctor. I want an insurance industry executive deciding what doctors I can see, what procedures they're allowed to perform, and whether or not my broken arm was a pre-existing condition.

[ohnonichole]

Oh my, what good people and Christians you all are. To begrudge $5 a month to ensure your friends, family, extended family and neighbors all have health coverage that can't be revoked. Shame, shame on all of you and your greed.
