American SiCKO Adrian Campbell Montgomery Continues to Put a Face on the Health Care Fight

[TRV950]

"where was I suppose to get 8000$" well you'd have that money if you didn't pay for health insurance

[moneybelt22]

@TRV950 IM FIGHTING MY INSURANCE IM PAYING 400 A MONTH ! NOW THERE SAYING I HAVE TO PAY 1200 A MONTH? WHAT THE HELL?

[MrFatbee]

Sorry baby it's business , it's capatalism , i'm sure you understand . You should get end of life counselling.

[newyorkeastside]

Obama is DONE! He will go down in history as the first black , facist pres.and the WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

[killerbandit]

As a Canadian I pay a higher tax rate and I know that I will NEVER EVER have to worry about going into debt because I got sick.

[jimmy27paul]

In any other country on earth there would have been a revolution by now.

[blanchelincoln]

This bitch is a media whore. Plain and simple.

[killerbandit]

Yeah! How DARE she get ovarian cancer, go $20,000 into debt because of a for profit healthcare system and then she has the nerve to complain about being forced into indentured servitude....

[ShiftyTakers]

GO ADRIAN!!!!!!!

[ANGLEBOOT]

What a damn bimbo. it's a bill, just like any bill. The only difference is, hospital bills can be payed, "what you can when you can". They can't come and repo your home or car. They can't come and put the cancer back in her.

But at $8000 sounds like her co-pay with Blus Cross.

Pay your bills bimbo and stop asking everyone else to pay them for you.

[darthnegate]

She didn't get the cancer removed because the INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED HER!

She got charged for her stay at the hospital.

[killerbandit]

She is now up to $20,000 dollars in debt, and it isn't over for her. What would be your limit? $100,000.... $200,000 in debt before we say it is not good to throw people into a debt it will take them 20 years to repay. Sounds like a great system.

[Chick6517]

Great moment caught on camera. =D Thank God for youtube in which we can upload all of our crazy videos like this. haha

[mufasa10811]

chick 6517 fuck off biatch!!!!!!!!

[Textynn]

Who are these people who don't have sympathy for these sick people. Something is wrong with anyone who doesn't care about this woman. I'm starting to believe David Icke.I think we might actually have reptiles among us. Your Chick6517 being one of the most probable.

[kahirah]

imo this woman is quite a powerwoman as we here would say. 2 jobs, school and a kid, if she can do it then be happy, every country needs more of that type of people. it's not her fault she got cancer, she didn't wake up and think "well, how can i make this more of a challenge? uuuh cancer!". she deserves to get help from the community she works, studies and has kids for.

[Textynn]

She probably got cancer working in some place with toxic chemicals. Did you know it is not against the law to have people working in bonified Superfund sites and not even tell them. I know it happened to me. Just think how rich you can get if you don't care who you kill or destroy to get that way. This country acts like the rich are special and that they have proved superiority with their wealth. This is not the case by a long shot.

[killerbandit]

You are right, to many Americans have this foolish idea that wealth follows merit. When in reality we all know that if you are lucky enough to get to a certain threshold you will have no more problems accumulating wealth.

[dimmutaker]

I love when the not so young people just tell it like it is lol.. "RIGHT NOW", u damn right someone needs to help that young lady.

[pimpinnevaslipin]

everybody just shut up and donate to her paypal account. . . she provides the link on her blog. . . go to it NOW!!!

in weeks she will get the money she deserves

[dlb86at]

the reporter said she is already gonna get the help she needs. my g.f and i have our own debts and problems, sorry but hell no

[alfrediscool]

im curious as to what her two jobs are, what she is getting her masters in and why her husband was laid off.

[hapagirl707]

Even if she didn't have kids, she was still trying to get her MASTERS. Not a bachelor's which she already had, her masters. That's tough for anyone at any age and very costly. I know that if I was diagnosed right now with what she has and denied by my insurance, there would be no way I could pay it off. I have a BA and work full time fyi.

[Deadhunter22]

maybe she shouldnt of had kids before going to school and getting a decent job. Just a thought, gonna get flamed though

[mrbuttercake]

I agree that she deserves help, but she'll be lucky to get it

[AryanaLand]

we are the most advanced nation on planet, we are the richest, yet our own citizens are denied health care.. what a shame.. this is not the America i know... :( spending billions on unjust wars, instead we can use that money here at home to cure our own citizens, or the billions of dollars we help Israel with.. for what? so what if they have problem, we cant help them all the time. fuck our government.

[se7endreams]

don't forget spending 12 million dollars to understand why pigs smell along with a huge number of other fucking bullshit this stupid nation spends its money on. just ridiculous.

[AryanaLand]

i know bro.. but i hope our next president starts to realize this.. i voted for him.. but now he is spending too much, on same old companies that fucked up the system at first place.. i just hope things change for the better in future.. because right now are fucked up badly.. and we owe chinesse.. so Imagen that.. in future.

[George21T]

lol i dont want to say billions to Israeli i want to say hey Israeli you owe us 4 trilliion in all them years of giving.

[AryanaLand]

yeah, but bro you know it very well, and so do i.. that the Jewish lobby in our majority Christian, and atheist nation is very strong.. why should we pay for Israeli wars? why should we pay for their children to have healthcare, when our own citizens are dying like this? this is really unfair.. one thing i love about Europe is.. when they dont like something.. they protest on streets like in paris.. and send a strong signal to govt.. that we rule over u.. not the opposite..

[pimpinnevaslipin]

well sir the most advance & richest planet on the earth . . is about to go to hell in a hand-basket. . . . let's enjoy the free fall!!!

[AryanaLand]

true :( its sad though...

[anona72]

thank you mike for doing the work that you do

[ibbirules]

oh god

[wackawacka14]

why the hell do you think you need to post things like that here really?!?

[IHateReligiousNuts]

LIAR! she doesn't have cancer.She doesn't even look like she have cancer.Her doctor probably lied to her so he could get more money.6 years ago my doctor told me I had penis cancer and guess what? I'm still alive.

[algernondejesus]

How did you know? Are you a doctor? Did you diagnose her cancer? Did you ever had a cancer?

[rockondon]

i was refused a wheelchair from kaiser they said i wasnt disabled enough for 1

i lost my left leg up to the hip,shattered pelvis a rod in the right leg..but i dont qaulify for a kaiser wheelchair?

[ladollyvita]

and economic growth in Canada is just fine too, in fact better than the US. because in the US economic growth benefits mostly the top 1%.

[HDgameplayvideos]

You kidding me? There is no such thing as economic growth. A simple analogy. I forge 100,000 USD and purchase land, employ employees, and manufacture goods, thereby "expanding economic growth" -- If the government found out that I had counterfeited that money, they would take away the jobs, land, etc, "economic contraction"... That is how monetary policy works. There is no real gain in any economy.

[George21T]

GOOD example on the big free auto industry in america they created millions of jobs.

[modelun12]

America rocks!

[TheRealCanadianBacon]

Canadians may complain about the healthcare... but ask if Canucks would like to trade the healthcard for an American Insurance card..... after seeing Adrian in SiCKO, Canadians would rather keep theirs.

[falseprophet000]

Do that shit to my family and your insurance building is going to end up another ground zero.

[wahod]

you need to be Arab, they have a free health care

American are being tortured by bills and whatever.. Damaged life

God Help her

[KamikazeKoscki]

Justice really means JUST-US for the Elites, this is outrageous!

[KamikazeKoscki]

No help for those who were injured on the job, our country throws you to the Tiger pitt=workers compensation pennies fund or worse UEF=Uninsured Employers Fund=zero money, you pay into funds yet are rated low disability ratings so you can't get your benefits! Time to Revolt against the Elites in Congress & Corporate Hitlers!

[TimeWarp66]

Dear Liberals:

Getting pissy at insurance companies for making profits off of sick people, is just as dumb as getting mad at grocery stores for making profits off of hungry people. Learn some economics!

[allgoo19]

TimeWarp66:

Your analogy is a bit off.

In this video, it's more like the grocery store taking money and not giving the grocery.

Aren't you going to be mad?

[TimeWarp66]

Well if contracts between consumer and producer were not upheld, then the government should step in.

I hate the HMO system, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the status quo, I'd like to see completely free market healthcare. Check out "Health Care The Singapore Model" here on youtube.

[AmericanPatients]

I didn't realize that Liberals were the only ones who get sick and get denied.

That means you shouldn't get pissy next time you go to McDonald's drive thru, and get shorted a large fry, or get cheese on hyour non-cheeseburger.

You need to learn some economics too, and learn that single payer healthcare would be a boost... a much needed boost to this economy.

[TimeWarp66]

(facepalm)

Is it a rule you HAVE to be an economic illiterate to be on the left?

1) If you think we have free market healthcare in this country, you're insane. Check out the Singapore model here on youtube.

2) forcing everyone to pay a 50% income tax to pay for socialist healthcare, severely weighs down economic growth, investment, and job creation.

[ladollyvita]

People in Canada don't pay 50% tax. It's nowhere near that for the average person you fucking moron.

[TimeWarp66]

ugh, I've lived in Canda.

They sure do motherfucker, and that isn't including sales taxes.

Eat a fat dick.

[killerbandit]

If grocery stores started charging you so much for food that you would need to go into debt in order to eat.... then yes that would be a problem. Learn some human decency.

[TimeWarp66]

Learn some BASIC economics!

Why don't they charge such high prices? (After all they're just an evil "for profit" industry") Because their competitors will run them out of business! Duh! If Calmart charges $20 for a can of coke and Safeway charges me $1, then I, along with everyone else will go to Safeway, running Calmart out of bloody business! Same concept applies to healthcare. Where their's competition, their is price control.

[music4life345]

THIS IS BULL SHIT

[pboogie1023]

Taking care of the sick should not be run as a competitive business. All health care providers and administrators should read and practice the principles in the Hippocratic oath. Dropping sick patients is a diabolical practice.

Excerpt:

"I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick."

[JaylaScousa]

My uncle was diagnosed with cancer two weeks ago. He was operated on last week and is now clear of the cancer and will visit a specialist for checkups and follow up treatment for the next five years. There is no charge for any of it. He's in the UK.

My heart felt thanks goes out to all the staff of the NHS, you provide a wonderful and vital service.

There has been a long history of our government trying to slowly edge us for the failing model in the US. The driving force is greed.

[widgit007]

Dear USA.

Socialised universal healthcare is actually much cheaper, with far better outcomes than socialising profits for private companies. Imagine a nation where you actually had access to universal healthcare and paid much less for it.

[collegeman1988]

Fuck Blue Cross and Blue Shield. We have them here in Colorado and they suck. They have a program called Anthem, which should be renamed Anathema.

[nohealthcare62]

I had BCBS @ 17 yrs @$7500 I used it one time The OBGYN gave me VIOXX and then Liquid Narcotics for female cancer I begged for a operation and it took a Ultra Sound probe to break off inside of me to get the cancer removed .Then they told me they would never cover me for that again and dropped me 3 months later after the check up .

[AmericanPatients]

Did you see Adrian in SiCKO?

[creedstat]

we are very lucky here in Canada I couldn't imagine it any other way..

everyone who needs it should have acsess to care...it just shows you how greedy the americans are..can't afford it you can just go die for all they care

[everybodysfavourite]

the "american dream" does not include health care for all.. americans are too concerned with creating wealth and too greedy to share a penny of it.

[salvadorsalvona]

healthcare should not be a profit making org.

[WKaliber1]

Jose Mourinho supports universal health care

[GustafSjoblom]

We have a very simple system in Sweden, those in the most immidiate need of care gets it, for free. We call it "Basic Medical Triage". You should try it.

[allgoo19]

It's pretty scary having health care policy doesn't guarantee that your treatment will be paid.

So, what the point of paying insurance premium?

[ojmardueno]

You or you're employment is supposed to pay for your healthcare insurance so that the top executives can make millions of dollars. How can they make all that money if they accept to pay all the healthcare insurance claims??

In this economic crisis, even they are hurting, so we must help them, let's all donate so that they can still afford to keep their rich lifestyle. Call 1-800-YEA-RITE

This is sarcasm by the way! lol ;-P

[pongman]

I agree with you the former CEO of United Healthcare Corp retired with four billion at the age of forty. I wonder how many people he killed to get that?!

[katerock12]

The more i hear about america, the more its great image of community and team spirit fades away! I applaude michael moore for all his work and wish luck to all those suffering from the bad decisions of the american government!

[saxmanchiro]

America should be ashamed of itself for allowing it's elected officials to have come this far, as a 1st world nation, to this level of immorality regarding access to health care for everyone. This should have been fixed decades ago, as other nations have done. Shame on us for not demanded more from our government. Health care for profit NEVER worked well, anywhere.
