  • They got rid of Grayson, Wall St couldn't afford to have him around!

  • How do we push this bill down the throats of those boy buggering Republicans?

  • Allow everyone to buy into medicare? And this guy supposedly studied economics?? Why are big-city Dr's already overwhelmingly refusing medicare? Why did 66% of all Dr's surveyed by Sermo Health say they see themselves no longer taking medicare patients in the future? Medicare doesnt pay at cost! And it's still bankrupt!

    He talks about the monopoly held by a few insurance companies in certain states--why didnt democrats repeal the regulation barring interstate competition?

    Grayson=grandstanding

  • I love Alan Grayson. Democrats wake up and copy Rep. Grayson he stands for what he believes in period.

  • Thank you Mr Grayson! Please keep fighting for a PUBLIC OPTION!

  • This seems like a completely reasonable solution that should have support on both sides of the aisle. Medicare is a public system that already exists and requiring working-age people to pay their way would keep the change budget neutral.

    An amendment to Rep. Grayson's analogy about only seniors being able to use federal highways: only seniors are able to drive on them, even if working-age citizens *want to pay* for the right with their own $.

    Are there any reasoned arguments against the bill?

  • Thank you. Leave it to someone who isn't bought and paid for by big insurance to state the obvious.

    Problem is of course, given a chance to spoil the effort conservatives will find a way to slip a turd in the punch bowl. They always do, so why ask? Leave them to their self serving destructive devices.

  • Socialist fool...move to Europe, Canada, China, or Russia! IT DOESN"T WORK!

  • Cybervore,

    If you don't want a public option, you don't need to get one. Rep. Grayson's idea for the public option is a really good idea. People who want it, can BUY the coverage. This will cost YOU nothing. I work in the legal field and review medical records everyday, and the insurance companies rip people off. Personally, I tired of supporting the insurance companies.

  • Comment removed

  • Because England, Germany, and Australia's systems are working so much worse than ours, right? Oh wait-

  • So what ever happened to this bill???

  • GRAYSON GRAYSON!!!!!!!!!!

  • YES you can have as MANY babies as you want..... JUST LIKE PEOPLE HAVE DONE WITH PAID COVERAGE...Geez you clowns....If you dont like government ownership..STOP the police..that is paid by government..LET THAT GO PRIVATE... and schools too... State paid or not..its still taxes...Make ALL things private..you republican racists

  • Does that mean I can have as many babies as I want and this will pay for it?

  • We need this now!

  • Grayson is one of the best reps in congress, hands down. Talk about actually rep'ing the people, he does it, and isn't paid off by big biz corporate dems and basically ALL of the republicans. He's got the best rants I've ever heard, makes Ron Paul look like a rank amateur.

  • @dozerking America has called Alan Grayson back to the House this week....along with about 70 of his dumocrat colleagues...

    Nancy Pelosi is reportedly puzzled by their reporting back to the office.

    Later though, the issue was cleared up when the voters told the 70 LOUD & CLEAR "Clean out your desks you dirtbags!!!!" "YOU'RE FIRED !!!!!"

    We are making YOUR political careers DIE QUICKLY !!!!!

    Blahhh Hlaaaa HAaaaaa Haaaaaaa........

    OUTA HERE !!!!

  • MediCare would become solvent immediately.

  • I do support Ron Paul but i do beleive in a public option

  • this is so much better than the senate bill!! lets go public option!!!! FUCK YOU CONSERVATIVES

  • You have to have a maternaty policy added to your medical insurance before you get pregnant, Idiot. What makes anyone think the gov'mnt is going to treat you any better than any ins. co?

    Who's never seen the difference in customer service & waiting lines between Private business and Government offices? Then tell me the gov'mnt is better at taking care of you. It's a proven fact that the government does'nt run anything without spending, wasting & giving crappy service in everything it does.

  • Idiot. I have Medicare because I am disabled. People under age 65 can get it if they qualify for SS disability. It works just like my private insurance did in that my MD's office just sends the bills to Medicare. And my doctor doesn't have to spend half a day on the phone begging them to approve a treatment I need. Nor do I worry that Medicare will drop me if I develop something even worse than I already have. And, yes, if I get pregnant, Medicare will pay my MD and hospital bills. Idiot.

  • Idiot. I have Medicare because I am disabled. People under age 65 can get it if they are on SS disability. My doctor sends my bills to Medicare, and they pay them the same as they used to do with my private health insurance except now he doesn't have to spend half the day arguing to get a treatment I need covered. Easy. I don't have to worry that if I develop something even worse than I have that I will lose my insurance. If I get pregnant, Medicare will pay my doctor and hospital bills. Idiot.

  • YES YES YES!!!! Yes.

  • Cowards

  • Cowards

  • Grayson's staff censored my comments and all the replies related to it, except for one which makes little sense out of context, so I deleted it. I didn't know you-tube accounts could change a reply into a comment. Ironic this channel censors, being Grayson's suppose to be liberal. My comments and replies must have hit too close to the mark. I'm not upset at his sycophants. They revealed to me he's fake. I wonder how many tools we will have to endure before we get a real leader...

  • Palin is pretty stupid.

  • that is the understatement of the century, lets make her president!!!!!

  • Why hasn't this bill been passed yet? Come on everyone! Spread the word and let's get this bill passed!

  • @abenhorsen

    Because NO ONE likes this bill(s). If you're upset with it's present condition, blame the Democrats, Pelosi, Reid, and Obama... they haven't a clue.

  • Wait, who doesn't like this bill? I understand a lot of people don't like the huge Democrat Health Insurance Reform bill but this is a completely different bill with no mandates, subsidies, or taxes. Aren't both Republicans and Democrats in favor of more choices and competition? I would think this bill would then be one that both sides could embrace (aside from those on both sides that have been bought by the Health Insurance lobby).

  • I have lived in Canada for my whole life and I couldn't imagine having a better healthcare system, you've been indoctrinated and it's honestly scary, you should educate yourself in the ways of propaganda and human psychology (omg liberal elite!!!), specifically "Milgram experiment" effect. I can't believe you think violence will is the answer, you're a brownshirt thug used as a tool by the powerful people in charge who know how to manipulate the uneducated and fearful. I hope you wake up soon.

  • @PontFX

    I can imagine a better system... in the USA; at least for now.

    Wait until you get older, and have to wait for that operation, procedure or test. Hopefully you can come here for care, if stupid Dems don't dismantle it.

  • You have no idea what the issue at hand is do you?

  • I do know what the issue is at hand, health care the public option! What are the specifics of this bill? Does it add to the national debt? Questions, questions and more questions. We all should be asking them because if this gets voted in WE are stuck with it. If any health care proposal gets voted in WE are stuck with it! Haste makes waste, its a dangerous game to play! I say table it, have an open debate on c-span, so we can hear the pros and cons of the bill/ bills. Then vote on it.

  • Comment removed

  • Good suggestion by Rep. Alan Grayson.

  • Comment removed

  • you like paying for illegal aliens then fuck you all

  • what a nutcase...

  • o  ONE

    b BIG

    a ASS

    m MISTAKE

    a AMERICA

  • agreed...what a nutcase Grayson is, and what a narcissist Obamao is

  • This guy, and Pete Stark are proof that Congress is filled with good men.

  • NO!

  • Yep! jews running the insurance companies!more dead people more profit!!!

  • jews own too much anyway...

  • Yeah Grayson! Huzzah Grayson! Oi, brrraaap! Rudie doffs his cap to a real patriot, man, what! House of Reps....representin' what, bbbrrrap!

    You're the real thing, man, truly indeed one of our people, keep cuffin' 'em and don't worry about cover, your constituents will be there....get on Stephanie Miller's show, you should be more famous for this!

  • no, he's a reall ass.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne do you mean ron paul? Look at Ron Pauls voting record if that is who you are talking about.

  • No, I was talking about his son, Rand Paul. I hope he gets in the U.S. Senate this year, but sadly, it's doubtful. Also, Ron Paul DOES care about the American People a lot more than almost any other politician on either side does. He's one of the few politicians that voted consistently against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he predicted the economy was going to get worse, he's against excess government spending, etc. He wouldn't try to force his religion or morals down our throats, either.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne

    " He wouldn't try to force his religion or morals down our throats, either."

    He wants creationism taught alongside evolution in public schools. So you're wrong about that.

    I liked Ron Paul initially, but that was a serious deal breaker for me.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne

    Troll much, basement dweller?

  • I'm not a fucking troll, you pathetic little smarmy brainwashed bitch. These are my real opinions. I genuinely despise Alan Grayson, and none of it has to do with partisan garbage. Though I see it to be completely futile, as you're just a clear example of Grayson supporters who are worse than Obamabots, I'll tell you why... Because he acts like EVERYBODY who disagrees with him wants America to fail, and wants people to die. He insults, criticizes, and calls people who disagree with him Hitler.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne ah so he acts like a republican.

  • He acts like any one of the most extreme ideologues on either side of the aisle. Extreme partisan politics is something this whole country could do much better without if you ask me. Of course, since I'm one of the people that talks shit about both sides, I draw an almost comical level of ire from a lot of people on both sides.

  • @TheUnpromisedOne

    I hear you, brother. Don't give up, they know not what they do. YouTube is filled with ignoramuses and it's a good thing at least some of us have common sense.

  • I know that for a fact. The sad thing is, I have had run-ins with literally hundreds of people on YouTube that make some of the people thumbing me down for hating Grayson look like intelligent, benevolent, sensible, well-meaning individuals that actually know their shit.

    I've long since given up wondering why I even come on here and participate in some of the comments discussions on here. 95% of the people on YouTube are completely and utterly braindead assholes looking for fights.

  • Alan Grayson is a IDIOT!

  • It's always lovely when someone calls another person an idiot, yet fails at grammar in the same sentence. AN IDIOT. :P

  • what is wrong with these insane people that don't want health care for everyone like all civilized countries have ?

    the tax rate for the wealthy is at a historic low that is why their is such a concentration of wealth to such a small number of people..between the tax breaks and shelters there is a growing number of multimillionaires that don't pay any taxes at all..they could pay for health care with only a few % points increase

  • YAY!! For a socialist America. I can't for the government to control every aspect of my life. Especially when I'm sick and I have to wait for some committee (that doesn't give a f*ck about me) to decide if I get treatment.

  • Mr Garyson you if you keep thinking that way, some day you are going to be president of USA. You are brilliant!!!!!!!!

  • Grayson is just another brainwashed, ignorant, arrogant, propaganda spewing libtard.

    FUCK HIM!

  • @flyboymd82 naw he's someone who grew up relatively poor, worked his ass off and hasn't forgotten where he came from..he hasn't said one ignorant thing yet and i guarantee you he is more intelligent and accomplished than someone who curses at him on youtube posts.

  • you are just another brainwashed, ignorant, arrogant, propaganda spewing contard or libtard, who knows? but you are definetly a facist.

    FUCK YOU!

    srsly get your head out of your ass

  • how bout just straight UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!!!!!! Its time we start listening to Rep. Kucinich

  • Alan Grayson is one of only a few politicians who really fight for the people. Go, Alan!

  • A Progressive Democrat with b@llz... imagine that! If Grayson ever runs for president, he's got my vote.

  • grayson is the man

  • If medicare could support itself and wasn't going bankrupt then I would agree with his solution. It is true that many insurance companies don't have to compete, so open up the state lines to allow cross competition the same way that vehicle insurance works.

    In the end, the problem isn't the insurance it is the cost of medical procedure that is the problem. 10,000 dollars to give birth to a healthy baby is unacceptable and insuring people through the government will only the dollar.

  • it isnt "going" bankrupt.. It's BEEN bankrupt, almost since its inception, and it has consistently costed much, much more then congress has promised it would (as usually happens when they are allowed to run amok without oversight).. It is a failure by any definition of the word, and Grayson wants to multiply that 10-fold.

  • Brilliant idea Mr Grayson. If you ever run for president you have my vote. You seem to be one of the smarter people in congress today.

  • Fail Videos!! @ My Channel!!

  • The Democrats had a full year to pass any bill they wanted. They had a majority in the House, 58 in the Senate (with 1 former Dem (Lieberman) and the Socialist Bernie Sanders from VT to make 60) and the Executive Branch. All they had to do was tow a party line. If their healthcare bills were as GREAT as the Democrat leadership proclaimed then it should have passed last May.

    What more did the Dems want?

  • This bill makes sense. So I am linking this video to my website, Life is hid dot

    com. I hope Mr. Grayson will leave this video up for 20-30 years as I have made provisions for my website to continue past my departure from this world.

  • Alan Grayson is awesome

  • Nothing is higher than the value of human life you single neuron straining, uneducated cunt.

  • This video is going viral around the country. People are commenting on it on a number of sites. What is so difficult about understanding that we have no insurance now? You can't get it if you were ever sick, if you get sick or you lose your job. That is not a comforting health insurance system. The simplicity of this bill is difficult for both parties to embrace. Congressmen seem to want to satisfy their owners....the insurance companies.

  • Someone has to pay for the medical bills. Free.ha!!! I guess with dem logic I can buy flood insurance after the flood damage.

  • bash in the skulls of the US Solders and there family's

  • I hope some pandemic will hit the United States so it could test the efficiency of the health care system :)

  • Rep. Alan Grayson would make an AWESOME freaking President!

  • @EidSeimmoc, your a total chickenshit loser who is afraid to receive comments from anyone. bak bak bahhhk bak bak

  • This moron is an embarassment to Florida --- Floridians should be ashamed ... this jerk is a joke and the laughing stock of Congress

  • The Tiarababy is an IDIOT!!

  • NO!

  • democrats and republicans are bought and paid for by the same body that we can't see.

  • I support Rep. Alan Grayson's bill to allow any American to buy into Medicare at cost, not just me but a lot of people wanted an public option that would provides great coverage to the people, and to created competition with the private insurance companies.

  • And this whole thing about free market is crazy. With health care, there is no free market. By the way, I have MANY friends in Canada and several in England. They all love their health care system and every one of them say the whole waiting in line myth is just that. Nobody waits in line for life-saving medical care. So go to it, Mr. Grayson! Go after the freakin' capitalistic insurance companies!

  • You uberrepublican conservative shills need to shut the hell up. Mr. Grayson makes perfect sense. You all are just "i got mine. To hell everybody else." Well, I say send you guys to some island somewhere and let you have your unsympathetic, selfish people eat each other alive..

  • Talk about sour grapes.

    Can't have your neighbor's toys so you want that neighbor outcast for not sharing. How noble.

    Here's an idea. Why don't you get your own toys and quit trying to take from everyone around you.

  • @maskedphrogg , you must be a Christian!

  • You're inability to reach rational conclusions has reached an all time low mutt.

    I'm Agnostic at best.

    I'm also rational and reasonable. I do not improve my own well being by making my neighbors weaker or taking their wealth to subsidize my own inadequacies. Had the followers of Christ taken his lead they too might live by these morals. Pity the thief, for without a victim he is helpless.

  • GRAYSON, SIMPLY IS A DUMB ASS!

  • okay crazy, back to the looney bin.

  • you know that republicans like to give the courtesy reach around when in the tea bag mode

  • what a fag...this guy needs to suffer a "Kennedy Ending..."

  • Dear TheRepiglickinDick...nice to see you showing up with your mentally retarded hateful Repig nonsense...do you realize every time you make one of your moronic comments it just demonstrates what an ignorant fucktard you really are? keep up the good work douchebag...your Repiglickin Party has been reduced to just a few angry, white, male racist xenophobes (like yourself, fer instance) who are being left behind by evolution...enjoy the slow descent into hell! :)

  • thats exactly why the government should run an hmo, private hmos make money by not paying your doctor/hospital bills

    all this death panel talk is just bullshit, if you dont think your hmo has a death panel now youre just fucking ignorant and need to either educate yourself or do everyone a favor and stay the fuck out of the conversation

  • If you're looking for ignorance you need look no further than a mirror Kojach. Private Insurers don't force you with the authority of Law to pay premiums. They don't force you to purchase Insurance at all.

    This plan Alan Grayson is promoting doesn't allow you to opt out. It does include a government sanctioned committee that will decide if your request for aid has merit. If the committee thinks your request lacks merit, and you die from lack of care, I don't see how that's not a death panel.

  • @maskedphrogg, total fabricated bullshit, he didn't say anything like that whatsoever.

    There is nothing to "opt out" from.

  • So your also unwilling to follow the course of the Health Care Bills going thru the House and Senate? The reconciled version most likely will have a Will Purchase clause. This will criminalize maintaining health and choosing not to carry health insurance. But you don't want to look at all the details. You just want to pat yourself on the back for supporting some "feel good" legislation.

  • get this bitch out of congress

  • rednecks should not be allowed to breed

  • Odumba sucks !!

  • I support anything that is voluntary, and oppose anything that is coercive.

  • yeah, like our choice to get or not get heathcare, and Obama's incistance on us either getting it and paying for it or paying a fine if we DONT want it..so much better, right?

  • Yes... To bad nobody else got it.

  • The healthcare bill is bs unless theres a public option

  • but we have to start somewhere. im with you on the fact that its watered down right now but we need to start somewhere

  • it is bs unless those who can't afford it try to purchase it and those who don't want it aren't penalized for not having it....

    You've been OWNED!

  • I don't know why we are talking about health care and climategate at all, those are the least of immediate concern. This country is collapsing like a house of cards. People need jobs, and the super-criminals who caused this financial super-catastrophe need to be brought to justice and stripped of their wealth immediately.

  • Comment removed

  • Congressman Grayson....Not to be funny....but 4 pages exceeds the number of pages that a Republican is willing to read. You will have to summarize it for the GOP and they still will vote against it because it is an historic bill.

    We Democrats have tried everything. We hired tutors for the Greedy Old Party. We put the bill on their Ipods. We sent them Cliff's Notes. Nothing we do

    will convince them that saving lives is important.

  • Comment removed

  • @iibao Yes there is. One is a socialist. One is a fascist. Between the two, give me socialism. If we're all going down, I prefer we all go down equal.

  • what you call a reality is traggic because the reality involves death, millions of death and you're for it.

  • What deaths? Yoiumust love the phony sob stories that Barry Obama tells. I guess nobody dies that already has insurance. Keep snorting the Obama dope.

  • The deaths involving the Bush-Obama's perpetual wars. The deaths of WRONG health care policies of BOTH sides. You mistake me for someone who is an Obama lover. I believe there is a special place in hell for Obama & Bush and those who support them like you.

  • you are more of a nutjob then Grayson and Obamao...when did they let Code Pink in here?

  • Comment removed

  • Only summarize!? why stop there, Alan Grayson should also add pictures so does GOP can get it. =P

  • Oh, you haven't a clue. If you knew the waiting lines for the simplest of procedures in other countries, you wouldn't be such an ignorant, arrogant prick.

    Remember: YOU DON'T NEED THE REPUBLICANS. If you weren't so obtuse, you'd recognize that. DEMOCRATS are holding up passage of the bill(s). Republicans have NO power to stop anything.

    Blame the Democrats for not passing healthcare!!! Break the insurance company state monopoly, that will reduce costs.

  • @DFM3333- I completely agree with you. They're opposing progress, simply for the sake of opposing it. We accept a huge amount of their edits to the bill, and they still don't accept it. The President attempts to reach out to them in bipartisanship, and they deny the gesture. Screw all this stuff, if you're trying to get cooperation out of a conservative congressman you mind as well be talking to a stump. I say take the vote, and move on.

  • Yes, 4 pages is comparable to 2400 pages - What a genius argument you're making.

  • lmao ! niice

  • Free market is the biggest lie ever told to America, healthcare is a series of monopolies and oligopolies over an inelastic service. That is no free market. Get em Alan Grayson.

  • republicans aren't saying that health care is fine, they are saying that government bureaucrats shouldn't be deciding if you deserve health care spending trillions in the process.They shield this by calling it "health care reform". Its not an option it is a mandate in the long run. I am twelve and I have read both the house and the senate bills and it eventually squeezes everyone into the system. The GOP has its own common sense bill but the Dems wont give up their ego to call it quits.

  • GO GRAYSON!

  • he and you are fags

  • Hey troll, kill yourself.

  • Grayson '12!!!

  • Grayson is the MAN

  • SEE IT HERE: TermLifeAssurance,org

  • yeah

  • Grayson is an embarrassment. As a Floridian, he makes me ashamed of my state.

  • @DukeLacroix Shivo should have made you feel ashamed.

  • and I'd be ashamed to be a male...he is such a fag...Liberal whiner...

  • pussy

  • Alan Grayson is a REAL American god bless him

    TAKE THE GOD DAMN VOTE

  • Disband the US congress, US senate (republicans and democrats) end this immature leadership high off debt spending.

  • This guy is a slimeball.

  • You are too simplistic...He is at least taking a constructive approacht to create a system for people to get health coverage and talking about it....you on the other hand are simply critical for the sake of it. I wonder who the real Slimeball is here.

  • and medicare is broke.....so you want to expand on this program?

  • I love this guy. I wish he were my representative instead of the In-the-pocket-of-the-insurance­-industry guy I've got representing me - Aaron Shock. This guy Grayson has balls, and appears to want to fight instead of compromising the future away. When you imagine the future, do you see HMOs? Can you visualize Captain Kirk asking Bones if he's covered by his HMO? If not, if universal care is coming, then all the years until we get it are just wasted time. CUT TO THE CHASE!!!

  • He might not have had ten thousand...He would be broke?! Isn't he the libs hero and the third richest member of the senate behind Pelosi?

    Alan, you had your fifteen minutes, stop, relax and enough with the feigned outrage.

  • testing

  • Too bad there's no way this bill is going to pass. When most of the politicians,BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, get their campaign donations from big corporations such as insurance companies it is no surprise that americans aren't getting the "change" they were promised during obama's campaign.

  • listen to this man

  • I love Alan Grayson. He doesn't bend over backwards for the insurance companies like the rest of the clowns in office.
