The Great LA Health Care Rally

[TOILETLOG]

if you think the government would do a good job running "health care," take a trip to the local post office or DMV and see if you have an enjoyable or efficient experience.

now, imagine you are ill and need medical attention from the same people after they have some medical training...

government health care = epic failure.

[Maltiman172000]

America needs free health care!

[Shorbbie]

I have a dream, that someday, Dennis will lead America out of the dark.

[appregios]

im for paul but still i dont know where paul is on this issue he says let people decide well they dont know, kucinich has plan but still im for ron paul, and yes i seen sicko and i agree, ya i remember when we wernt in the hole lol

[adotoa]

Ron Paul is a proponent of laissez-faire economics, a system which would strip children and the elderly of their health care as provided by Medicare and Medicaid. Dennis Kucinich, on the other hand, wants to expand public access to health care. This and his commitment to actual education reform and his foreign policy stance are the reasons I'm voting for Kucinich.

[Powitree]

Transfer funding for illegal and unwarranted wars to not-for-proft healthcare..Before there was BUSH there was a SURPLUS.. does anyone remember that we weren't in the hole until BUSH STOLE the whitehouse.

[tastysalad]

why should i pay RIDICULOUS taxes on health care i wont use?!?buy your own damn health care!!!

[adotoa]

Public health care would most likely cost less per taxpayer than existing corporate systems. What's more, Kucinich would shift the tax burden from the middle and working class to the upper class so that taxes would go down or stay the same for most Americans.

[GeorgeHowkins]

Does Kucinich have prevention as part of his plan? Educating prevention would be another plus for his health care campaign. Just wondering if anyone here knew. DK all the way 2008!

[WeNeedDemocracy]

Kucinich is the only not-for-profit, not-for-sale candidate. He is about real democracy and is the one that has the guts to stand up to the corporate mongrels that have taken over the country. He always has and always will continue to defend the peoples' interests and our constitution...don't waste your vote...VOTE KUCINICH! Let's get serious. We need someone revolutionary and he is it.

[buzzcuts1]

You da man!!!!!!!!!!

[ciw97]

Dennis Kucinich is honesty.America need him.If you vote him you are not go wrong.

[analiasahotmail]

Dennis wants Universal not for profit health care. When did public services we all pay for and need become associated with the "evil" Socialists?

Human beings are being treated as Revenue Streams by the Insurance companies. Denial of treatment is rewarded and routine preventative care is almost NEVER covered. The costs keep increasing hurting everyone, patients, doctors, nurses, surgeons, EVERYONE is being victimized by the insurance companies. This has to stop.

[MySeizures]

I've been told by Stanford University, I need brain surgery to cure and control my seizures but I don't have health insurance.

Can you please help me stop my seizures by writing letters on my behalf to Senator Dianne Feinstein of California to intervene on my behalf in expediting my Medical application, therefore, I could have my brain surgery to stop my seizures and live as normal life.

Thank you for your considerate and caring heart.

Gerrie

[tlowham]

Er sorry, make that "I would love Dennis Kucinich..."

[tlowham]

I get a kick out of you-tubers thinking Ron Paul and Kucinich would make a great combo. The agree one one thing, get out of Iraq.

If I'm a physician, I would love Ron Paul- reimburse me .23 cents on the dollar (his Medicare-for-all-program), then double my taxes.

[MySeizures]

For centuries, the "law makers" of the states and the federal government refused to provide health care for their tax payers. Therefore, why would the American people succumb to the same "law makers" who fail to provide them with adequate health care system after having paid their taxes all their life time? I'm NOT sure if any one can abuse and take advantage of any one with out their permission, in these case, "law makers" abusing citizens. Why are the citizens taking it sitting down?

[jbenix13]

He is the only chance WE THE PEOPLE have!

[aviomaster]

---WITH HEalth CARE MONEY USA Goverment is funding WAR in IRAQ .....

[aviomaster]

shudderbug ---- YOU can not compare USA to CUBA man ... JAPAN ,, JAPAN ,, JAPAN has universal HEALTH CARE .... WHAT is wrong with USA I do not understand .... Swizerland has Universal Health CARE ..... WHAT IS WRONG WITH USA ......

[Abby935]

Kucinich is the only candidate who is not playing politics. He truly wants to help the American people. His interests are not selfish and his goals for America are purely genius.

[MooseOfReason]

I just want to know where the money for this is going to come from.

[shudderbug]

Isn't it strange that people wonder where the money for healthcare will come from, but those same people don't wonder where the hundreds of billions of dollars come from when we go to war against countries tht pose no threat to us, for example, Iraq, Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, etc. We always have the money to destroy lives in other countries, but somehow, we don't have the money to save lives in our own country.

[gerybracy]

An excellent point, I have wondered the same thing, maybe we could take the money that our current administration wants to continue funding the war in Iraq{I think its $190 billion} Not to mention the S&L bailout we are still paying for. I guess its about priorities and hopefully those are changing.

[lapinex]

Do you ask the same question of Iraqui war money (e.g., the military, defense contractors, defense sub-contractors, defense sub-sub contractors, lost opportunities, ad naesium . . .)?

Are you willing to think creatively, including putting a FICA tax on the table for consideration? If not, your question is really a cover for being opposed to non-profit universal insurance coverage for everyone--including YOU. I hope that is not the case. mike

[cecilbdml]

Indeed...you're talking about the money we 'didn't have in the first place' that was going to 'bankrupt this country, and shouldn't be spent.' You mean THAT money?

If we're not using it for Constitutional purposes, like DEFENDING THIS COUNTRY'S SECURITY INTERESTS ABROAD, we sure as HELL don't have it for UNConstitutional things like SOCIALIZED ANYTHING.

[cecilbdml]

By the way, when there WAS no socialized police or firefighter system, we built cities and roads and infrastructure STILL IN USE TODAY. Before medicaire and abortion, we had CATHOLIC HOSPITALS MANNED BY NUNS and HALFWAY HOMES for unwed mothers. And they didn't cost the taxpayer anything. Good thing, since there weren't any until the 1920s.

Then we got the church out of everything and started making it tax based. And have been pissing and moaning about how bad everything is, since then.

[xXpimpleXx]

not true. in medieval europe, everyone paid their tenth whatever to the catholic church. their tenth harvested potato would feed priests and their tenth child would grow up to be a munk or nun. that was the form of taxes baxk then. yet you were only able to get education or medical treatment if you could pay for it. if your house burnt down then, it burnt down and you'd have to build a new one. utopia, indeed.

[adotoa]

Are you, in fact, pining for a return to the days when women and people of color where not allowed any say in anything? The days when children where forced into the factories to feed their families? Wow.

[utterhogwash]

DENNIS KUCINICH! There IS no other candidate!

[linguy22]

I am voting ONLY for Dennis Kucinich. I am voting with my heart, I am voting with my intellect, I am voting with my conscience. That is why I am voting for Dennis Kucinich!

[existaslove]

Ron Paul people, Kucinich has CONSISTENTLY, for YEARS, voted against ALL Funding of the war and AGAINST the war, has always been against it and proved so even when he was shunned by everyone when the war was popular, this man has balls and has so proven HE WILL END THE WAR IMMEDEATELY.

Ron Paul is a little crazy, Kucinich is reasonable, come on, let people's records speak for themselves.

[maryj7]

Kucinich is the mcgovern of today

[thetruth073]

So why would Ron Paul make the Best President

for America?

- He will Stop The War Immediately

- He Will Change Foreign Policy

- He will Eliminate the IRS

- He Will Eliminate Corporate & Political Corruption

- Retore Rights to the People that have been stolen by the Corporations and corrupt politicans!

- Unite Americans

What has Dr. Ron Paul done? find out

ronpaul2008 . com / about (remove spaces) LIVE FREE OR DIE! Vote RON PAUL 2008

[scj16]

It is the majority of Americans that either don't have health care or lack descent coverage. "How are we going to pay for health care?" Taxes of course! Conservatives for some reason believe that all tax is evil regardless of how much americans suffer. Without taxes there would be no such thing as government! The dream of government without taxes doesn't even make the least bit of sense. The health and education of every American should be the number one priority for govt. revenue.

[Countrymanbigandrich]

just for you info. plenty of americans have healthcare. maybe those who dont should get a job or deal with it. even walmart offers healthcare for its workers. maybe those americans who dont should try a little harder

[adotoa]

Over 45 million Americans are without healthcare. You think all of them are lazy? Think again. Some of us work our asses off every day and live without healthcare because our bosses are stingy. I'll be voting for Kucinich because unlike Bush and Clinton, he actually cares about America's working poor.

[Countrymanbigandrich]

do you want our healtcare to end up like cubas? why dont you do a little research on that?

[adotoa]

I don't want nationalized healthcare just a system that will cover every citizen who needs it. Private healthcare can should still exist but no person should be turned away from treatment because they can't pay. Also, I'm no fan of Fidel Castro, but the Cuban government was able to evacuate their citizens when Katrina swept through the Gulf.

[shudderbug]

Yes, I would like our healthcare to end up like Cuba's. It is free for all, and they actually treated some of the 9/11 rescue workers that couldn't get treatment in our own country. If you saw Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" you would already know that.

[lapinex]

Why don't you? Why don't you share that "little bit of research you did on that? Did you read a little paragraph in an American newspaper?

If you really are "bigandrich", it is no wonder you don't give a damn about this country creating non-profit single-payer universal insurance coverage for EVERYONE, NOT JUST YOU.

Don't know why Jesus said what he said about the probability of a rich man, versus a poor man, getting into heaven? Well, you probably don't get that either.

[lapinex]

I would advise not responding to him anymore now that I have seen his stream of circular comments. (If he ever had thought in his bigrichcountry head about cutting the huge profit margins on health "insurers" and pharmaceuticals out of the question, much less researched THAT, he might begin to climb out of his childish fear of "socialized" medicine. (Wonder if he turns away the many other "socialized" services offered by government, from police, to the FBI to emergency personnel, etc.)

[Countrymanbigandrich]

funny thing, he never mentions how our government is going to pay for all this healthcare. hmmm... maybe he is going to raise our taxes even more!!! also, if healthcare is going to be run by the gov. how the heck is that going to make our society more democratic. does anyone listen to what this guy sais or think of the consequences of his actions???

[dj4monie]

Why people always ask how its going to be paid for?? Does it even matter? I pay $184 for health care I barely USE with no children and no wife. Stop complaining about taxes. Europeans are relived to come to the States because about 40% of their normal tax burden they don't have here. There's a 4% tax on unleaded fuel and 3% tax on diesel fuel, we don't have that here, get over it.

[Countrymanbigandrich]

Im sorry, i didnt know you liked giving your money away to the gov. also, have you seen candas healthcare???????? because its free, everyone goes, which means people have to wait an insaily long time to have an appoitment, even when its an emergency. but hey, if you like lines and high taxes, this is the way to go.

[lapinex]

Folks, this uneducated bigandrich man obviously has no significant skills, much less debate skills. It is pointless to attempt to talk with him at all because I now see his continuous ignorant remarks show that he has never defined criteria acceptable to him for funding such a program. As such, no response will satisfy him, and he will just go on being contentious and stupid.

[AintThatTheTruth]

Um, Ron Paul doesn't even think women have the sensibility to make the right decision for themselves when it comes to having a baby! Are we really comparing Dennis and Ron Paul???

BastardJack-I'm with you. Let's start writing those letters. We've got to get some media attention for Dennis. I know he could win the presidency if people just knew everything he stood for and if he wasn't made out to be such a quack by the media.

[NapaSales150]

I'm sorry. I support HR676, but I believe restoring habeaus corpus, posse comitatus, and the Bill of Rights (not to mention the system of checks and balances) is of much greater importance than fixing the healthcare problem. It is simply a matter of priority, if given the choice of destroying the HMO's and destroying the Federal Reserve/IRS, I'll take the latter. RonPaul2008(dot)com.

ps I think Dennis would make a great Ron Paul VP.

[scj16]

it seems instead of having a common sense election, we have beauty pagent elections in which the media tells us who to support. and if they don't like someone, they just don't show him-which means they have no name recognitition, and can't get elected.

[Countrymanbigandrich]

yea really. did you see the comercial which just talked about edwards stupid hair on youtube??

[BastardJack]

Someone needs to start a letter writing campaign to the news stations to give Kucinich a fair shake in the media.

[linguy22]

I am absolutely convinced of Dennis Kucinich's victory!

merrybery 1234, iof I may say so, do not believe the polls. It would take me too long to explain, but polls are very biased things, intended partly (depending on how they are conducted) to make you feel hopeless.

Dennis is gaining by leaps and bounds. He speaks the truth and it goes straight to people's heart.

I am voting for Dennis Kucinich, the compassionate, caring, courageous candidate. Are you?

[einsteinstoe]

Kucinich has a REAL chance if as many of us as possible show up to our local democratic caucus's to show your support. Stand up and tell people why they should vote for Dennis. Get as many Kucinich delegates to the state conventions where the party platforms are developed and candidates are selected. Take over from the inside! See ya at the caucus!

[merryberry1234]

Does he have a real chance to win? It looks like everyone is ahead of him.

[tman418]

Dennis needs to get energetic like this on the televised appearances (the national debates perhaps) and people will start to notice him more.

[headybrew]

He is such a breath of fresh air, not just on this issue, but on all of them.

[EsoterikGirl]

I have a new idea for a primary that could blow "business-as-usual" out of the water!!!! Let's not leave it up to the states to fight over who gets caucus results first. Let's not leave it to the mainstream media to choose our next president through ridiculous claims and exclusions of viable candidates who truly speak for us (i.e. Kucinich!). And let's not leave it up to money to decide whose message gets heard the most. The Internet can turn that old notion on its head!

[EsoterikGirl]

We need an entity such as Yahoo or Google to take on presenting our country's very first Internet primary based not on name recognition or what a candidate looks like or how much money they have or how good their speech writers are...

[EsoterikGirl]

The idea would be completely and totally ISSUE BASED. This would allow citizens who don't have time or resources (or patience) enough to research each and every candidate the chance to indicate their feelings about issues they DO know about. We would get to rate or support or opposition for a long list of issues that affect us - issues we feel extremely strongly about, we rate as a KEY ISSUE. Issues we feel less strongly about we rate as IMPORTANT, but not a MAKE-OR-BREAK ... and so on...

[EsoterikGirl]

At the end of each of our opportunities to VOTE THE ISSUES, our candidate (the one who most closely represents those issues and the strength of those issues) is revealed to us AND TO THE OFFICIAL TALLY, which is then TRANSMITTED TO ALL MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Why do I like this idea? Because Rep. Kucinich is absolutely correct: When it comes to issues, HE most represents the regular working person - the majority interest.

[EsoterikGirl]

This sort of a system is already in development at the following address: SEE WHICH CANDIDATE FITS YOUR VIEW!

dehp(dot)net/candidate/index(d­ot)php

(sorry for writing out the "dots," but I don't know if YouTube would prevent me from offering another site on here, and this is very important to share!)

At the end, you see all the issues you don't agree on as strongly (either way) as you may have indicated.

[JuciShockwave]

I say yes to all four of your posts. Very well said. Thank you.

[underpantsjihad]

I just can't trust a man that hideous with a wife that hot. Fred Thompson too...

[nurseguy67]

Please vote and support Dennis Kucinich in 2008. End the war now, health care for all, Bring back the republic by respecting the US Constitution and human rights!!! Go Dennis go!!! You rule and you have a nice wife.

[nohealthcare62]

Native Americans are All voting for Dennis Kucinich

[DurShar]

Nobody but Dennis in 2008.

[RSchandel]

We need Dennis Kucinich as our president and Ron Paul vice president.

[VelocityTheory]

the two could not be more opposite. you know that right?

[tman418]

Ugh. Ron Paul definitely gets it when it comes to foreign policy but he definitely will not stand for universal health care in any way, shape or form. He would basically get rid of every governmental institution (I wouldn't be surprised if he got rid of the post office).

[EsoterikGirl]

That's right tman418. You never hear Ron Paul talk of the evils of the stock market. And if you are a woman, an immigrant or have a child in the public school system, you won't find a supportive spokesperson in Ron Paul. I thought human beings had evolved since the 1700s.

[tman418]

Yeah he'll probably get rid of the public schools too.

[Tyrvaldr]

I voted for Dennis Kucinich in the last Democratic primary and will again. I'm not registered with any party affiliation.

Why would anyone register as a Republican just to vote for Ron Paul? Disgusting!

[lc0149]

Dennis Kucinich is the ONLY HOPE for America. This man really cares about the PEOPLE of this nation and not the corporations or some free market capitalistic oligarchy. Ron Paul will destory the middle class and the working poor in this country if he gets elected. God help us all if he does!

[RudyCorrupt]

hmmm yea that's great Kucinich. But the American People are not that smart to recognize a true leader like you.

That is why they are voting for Hilary Clinton.

ComeOn.

Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton Again ?

Don't we learn?

in 2008 Do the Right Thing.

[RudyCorrupt]

Kucinich or Ron Paul for 2008.

Anyone would be a good change for the US.

[Tyrvaldr]

Americans who cannot afford healthcare are paying burdensome taxes, instead of multimillionaires paying for health care. All the wasted money could go to healthcare and not raise taxes, anyway! Ron Paul has his head up his ass and thinks it smells like the cold war. He doesn't understand that socialism is a tool of democracy and Soviet communism was an oligarchy, much like we now have under corporatism! We need eight years of Dennis Kucinich!

[lc0149]

But also 18,000 Americans die each year just because they don't have health insurance. People really need to look at the candidate's policies on ALL of the issues and not just one thing. Ron Paul has a good foreign policy plan but his domestic policies on education, healthcare, immigration, the economy, energy, and the environment are NOT good for this country.

[lc0149]

There are more important things than just the Iraq war and foreign policy we need a candidate that will bring change about on both fronts, both domestic and foreign!

[Ozz04]

Don't forget any one who registers as a Democrat can vote for Dennis Kucinich to win the Democratic primary.

Kucinich 2008

[BastardJack]

Hes way too good of a candidate to actually make it to the election, but I really hope he makes it.

[PaulLeary]

More and more I'm liking what this guy is saying... Do I see a Hillary/Dennis ticket in the future? Wow, that might just work?

[Isaac707]

Kucinich 08, I just ordered a buncha flyers and bumper stickers. Weeee!

[kindmomof2]

No One But Kucinich in 2008! Strength Through Peace

[peacelf]

Kindmom, Peace through justice! should be we Kucinich supporters mantra. Strength through Peace was the Roman empire's mantra.

[kindmomof2]

The Roman's mantra was Peace Through Strength the same motto that the current administration is using. The motto for the Kucinich campaign is Strength through Peace. :o Don't be scared of Peace :o will be a virtual march led by Kucitizens to show that we are not scared. I hope someday you all join us! Peace, Love, Unity, Tolerance! :o I'm not scared :o

[peacelf]

Kind mom, yes, I had it reversed. I've been reading a lot of history on the Roman empire lately. Thank you, and yes, Kucinich 08!

[mythmanjay]

It's a shame that most politicians let their back-pockets win the conflict against the best-interests of the people.

[DoubleSuited52]

Good for Dennis for speaking out against the corporate healthcare system in the united states.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

If they can reform healthcare without raising my taxes I'm all for it. If not - back to the drawing board.

[lc0149]

Oh, don't worry I don't want my taxes to go and pay for your healthcare! Can we boot you out of the country?

[lc0149]

Someone told me once it's better to keep quiet, and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Each time you post, you show more and more that you are a fool. Oh, by the way, there is no way in hell I am going to vote for Ron Paul. Even if Hillary ends up winning the Democratic nomination, I will be voting for her (even though I don't think she is the best choice) before I EVER vote for Ron Paul!

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

How am I a fool? If you want to vote for another Hillary Clinton that is your choice. I support Dennis Kucinich first however if he Dennis doesnt win I will switch my time from helping his campaign to Ron Pauls campaign. I disagree with Ron Paul on many things however I'm willing to overlook it and focus on the bigger picture at stake.

[peacelf]

leftlib, I have to agree with Ic that equating Kucinich to RP is like comparing apples to...horse apples. Both are rights libertarians , however their economic policies differ greatly. Kucinich is for securing a saftety net for all Americans that include healthcare for all. RP wants to make every government service part of the free market, so that all gov't services are paid for by citizens. Personally, I don't care ho you vote for, just that your vote should be informed.

[KIDiotequeA]

I feel the same way, but er....opposite. Im a big fan of Kucinich, but Im supporting Dr Paul. Part of me wishes they would run on the same ticket when they're inevitably excluded from their respective parties.

[lc0149]

Well, LeftLiberalSoCal, I don't see how you would want to support Dennis when he seems to be the complete opposite of your beloved candidate Ron Paul. Also, in your post you make it clear that you don't agree with Dennis's policies for this country. Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate running for president out of the democrats and republicans! He is the only TRUE HOPE FOR AMERICA!

[lc0149]

I called you a fool because you seem to be on the wrong side of the fence in supporting Ron Paul! Ron Paul will destory this country if he gets elected. I am looking at the broader picture at stake! That is why I can never vote for someone like Ron Paul!

[TERRAN1212]

Kucinich 2008!!!!

[JWH8sGW]

Given the choice between my tax dollars being spent on healthcare or a war, guess which one I'll choose? I have no problem with taxes when they're used properly.

I'll take a little elf over that Col.Klink lookalike Giuliani any day. His rehash of Bush's so called healthcare plan is a joke.

[litterit]

Can anyone even tell me where Dennis, the little elf, plans to get money for that type of nonsense?

And, as I knew I would, I answer myself: taxes.

And who says that it's even a good idea? The term 'not-for-profit' is not what I want to describe anything involved in my health care.

He certainly has a flawless southern baptist preacher stereotype going doesn't he. Look at him herd those simple-headed sheep.

Bleat away.

[hirokatasugiyama]

What makes you say or believe 'not-for-profit' health care won't work? Maybe you prefer to have 'for-profit' police and fire fighters as well?? Imagine that!

[mythmanjay]

He's not saying the medical professionals aren't getting money; Their slice won't change. He's talking about eliminating the money-launderers (a.k.a. the for-profit, private insurance companies)

[lc0149]

Well, see my taxes already pay for your safe food and clean water, and safe bridges. I wish could take my tax dollars back and allow you to build your own bridges and highways, check the safety of your own food, and get your own clean water. I mean after all you don't want to pay a little more in taxes for my healthcare so why should I pay for your needs?

[V2impeach]

NATIONAL IMPEACHMENT DAY is this TUESDAY AUGUST 21st!!

Spread the word and search "v2impeach" on YOUTUBE now!

[cjfriz]

When are democrats going to actually take a look at the candidates--anything more than a cursory look reveals that none of the top-tier candidates are truly anti-war or pro-universal health care. These are the issues we care about the most. Let's get out the word!

[Wolfiemouse]

Great video ... great man! Dennis makes good common sense ... the truth does matter!!!

Join with other Kucinich supporters ... it is time for a Dennis Kucinich!!!

Bravo Dennis ... Go! Go! Go! He will deliver too!!!
