  • Ron Paul 2012

  • anybody know when this speech was given?

  • @tomaswheaton15 September 9th 2009

  • Health Insurance (Medical Reform) should be Government. Hospitals should be Government. Medical School and Law School should be Government. Students who graduate Law School should work directly for the Government. There is no more Law Office on the corner street of your house.

  • Home's Built shouldn't be too large.  We reserve land for population growth. Farming for food may be crucial in the future. When population reaches Hundreds of Billions, most Homes will be Apartments.

  • Homes are for Sale however they are very very expensive. The percent of population that purchases a home is only 2.5%. Most people will think its too expensive and a rip-off. They will also believe that Land is For Everybody. That's because it really is. Since Rent is only $75 / month per person, it would take an entire life time's work to buy a regular house (1,750 SQ FT). 

  • When Students design and build new technology, they will meet with a committee. They will determine the Sale Price of that Product. This will lessen the materialism in country. Being mindfully aware of resources in this world is good. The Book Will List Products never to Exceed that price.

  • You will notice obama wants to take insurance from the private sector. Government will be in control of the health care = 666, you chip or your cut off.

  • Nobama 2012!

  • What exactly is affordable health care?... When I look at Canada with its poor quality of health care, I don't think this is such a great idea. Taxing the "rich" a lot to get this "great health care" and taxing everyone else a teeny bit is not fair. I have family members who are pharmacists, doctors, etc. who work hard, only to have a huge portion of their money taken away to support who knows what.

  • @shirayuki75 the way to make it most affordable is allow those who administer those services to compete openly AND keep more of their money.

  • Sorry if this makes me come off as feeble-minded, but I accidentally stumbled on to this: If you play this video at 5:24 then it sounds like Obama is calling out for "Beaker!". If you're a Muppets fan than you would know who I'm talking about. :-)... And if you keep repeating it then it looks like he's mentally challenged. haha

  • If you play this video at 5:24 then it sounds like Obama is calling out for "Beaker!". lol If you're a Muppets fan than you would know who I'm talking about. :-)... And if you keep repeating it then it looks like he's mentally challenged. haha

  • C'mon America - wake up; just in case you have not noticed you are now in the twenty-first century. Universal health care is as much a citizens right as law and order and education. No-one - no family of a modern democratic society should have to face the possibility of bankruptcy because of illness or accident. Period.

  • moving America foward!!

  • Great speech. There must be a lot of major shareholders of health insurance companies on youtube? Either that or a bunch of retards wanting inferior health care.

  • I'm not american ,but if I was and i was in a position of power ,surely the heath and well being of american people would be my priority (as opposed to building more weapons of destruction for more wars which only results in more death! at the end of the day ),it's only common sense after all ,this is the first american president that you've had in a long ,long time that I've seen from an outsider's point of view that is actually applying common sense in helping america for the better .

  • the that are claping are fake look at them clap its fake their clap sycning

  • how can ppl be against the health reform ???? here in norway it cost around 20 dollar for whaterver the problem it is !!!

  • God, liberals make me wanna puke!

  • everyone wants something for free, obamers is the guy for all those who like being told what to eat, drink, think,. i love my country and constitution, he needs to go back to what ever country he came from

  • Dang, they clap for a long time, do their hands ever get tired?? O.O they clap longer than the fans on the Ellen or Oprah shows. its been 4 minutes and 40 seconds. and then they clap agian? oh well.. I bet Obama is like "okay you can stop claping now." lol

  • Its nice to see our President taking action and doing something!

  • obama is a fucking porch monkey fucking nigger piece of shit fuck him he eats watermelon and drinks koolaid and eats fried chicken fucking slave god fucking dam him porch monkey nignog jigaboo clitoris fucking i hate niggers fcking slave ass nigga fuck fuck u obama nigger!!!!!! PORCH MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @planbkid23 - As a proud white American whose forefathers fought the British - and I myself was a Marine I think you are a piece of shit haha

  • @luvinwhitewomen your forefathers were the British - moron!

  • @planbkid23 Don't beat about the bush...say what you mean (between dribbles) lol

  • I'm not ashamed to be an American. I only regret what my country has done to others.

  • i still believe that we can act when it is hard

    on you

  • Notice the one thing missing here? We the people. Who in this room speaks for us and the constitution? We are locked out. We do have a presence in this room however, can you see it? OUR MONEY!

  • Try This

  • he care about the poor ,,,,,for one look at the soldiers fighting war of today they are of them poor he also took money from medical that i need im a disabled american and poor ,,,,manny cuts

  • who r ou lazyrat you dont like the world

  • Our existing health system needs help, and Obama is throwing money into it, sad, many simple solutions for the 30 million uninsured, but the most invasive has been chosen. The plan will create many jobs, 10 people to do what once only required one, healing jobs should be created if they improve health, not just to create inefficient jobs, pushing paper. I have personal experience with many nightmares which we will experience magnanimously, research and observe, to see reality. Regards =)

  • He's a great man.

  • @Choungui He IS a great man of vision - there is no way the US can stay with the George Bush style politics...that era is dead and gone thankfully

  • @bakerj02 john mccain wants to bring it back to life

  • @Gideon359 is he?

  • @bakerj02 both partys suck indapendent partys rule and obama hasnt done shit so id stop spreading your bullshit now right.

  • @hardkoregamer999 what bullshit??

  • @bakerj02 you what do you mean what?

  • @hardkoregamer999 In your post you said "id stop spreading your bullshit now right." I therefore asked you what bullshit. SO AGAIN I ask what bullshit are you talking about that I am talking about

  • @bakerj02 ummm what daves not here man.

  • @bakerj02 you have a point in one way but the truth is obamas just a poster child to the government!

  • @harrysmallsisskeptic

    Dunno what you mean??

  • @bakerj02 Who is? He's carried right along with Bush style governance. Handing out money to Bad banks and corporations, having our military stay in countries he campaigned to take us out of, and getting us in three more!

  • @Rensune Well...under Barrack US crime has plummetted so he must be doing something right and as for the banks - that's just them being fucking greedy cunt shylocks. Anyway it's the American Military/Industrial complex that's to blame and was it Roosevelt or Truman that warned of that??

  • @bakerj02 It's fallen because we're getting closer to a police state (and the modern American male is, let's face it, a pussy.) And the one who warned of the complex was Eisenhower. FDR and Truman Built It.

  • @Rensune I don't think a police state does that but I do agree that the US could be approaching that. I read somewhere that since 1960 about 50 federal law agencies have been set up and thanks for correcting me on the industrial-military complex

  • Here is how you resolve the Health Care Problem. 250 Million People x $35.00 / Month = $10 Billion. Case Closed.

  • @tnguyen318 Obamacare was an expansion of Bush's trial (Medicare Part D), which raised the cost of medicine (as third party payer mechanisms ALWAYS do). The only way to lower cost of anything is immediate cost and competition.

  • Wow... ObamaCare is about raising the cost of medicine to eliminate competition. Does that even make sense??

  • @tnguyen318 Look up the term third party payer mechanism and come back.

  • Third Party Payer Mechanism is Fake.

  • @tnguyen318 explain how (when most of the civilized countries in the world use it.)

  • People use it doesn't mean it's not Fake. This System is built upon the Stock Exchange.

  • @tnguyen318 perhaps you mean propped up artificially, but the fact that it's used proves it's very real (and a cancer). All forms of it (Insurance, public "universal" and private "corporate" as well as consumer loans and credit) should be banned.

  • The Market Value Price Guide will List all Merchandises According to their Value. That Book is kept by the Department of Commerce and can be purchased by people.

  • @tnguyen318 Value is determined by what most people are willing to pay for it, not a book.)

  • Price is based on the maker of the product or the seller, not by what people say how much it should be. The buyer is buying a product and does not set the price of the product. Not everything is in the mind. It's what I call True Market Value. A penny is worth a penny, not a dollar. A Nickel is worth a Nickle not $5 Dollars. Therefore Brand New Headphones are worth the Value of Brand New Headphones, not by what people say it is.

  • @tnguyen318 Economies exist to better distribute the limited items that exist in reality. Just because you're told a nickel is worth a nickel does NOT mean it is worth a nickel. (Don't believe me? Look at how much more a nickel could buy 50, a hundred years ago) That is because they were tied to a physical resource, establishing real value, and not worthless, as it is in the current fiat system.

  • It does not mean its worth a nickel however it establishes the foundation for what the nickel is worth. You can argue about something that goes nowhere forever. When I tell you the Universe has Planets in-it, you'd then question me how would I know if the Universe is an inside or an outside. Who would know? If I tell you the Universe is an outside that has planets in-it, would that make much sense? Although Value Lies in the Person, True Value Lies in Examination.

  • @tnguyen318 Which requires faculties to examine.

    Yes Epistemology is one of my hobbies.

  • There is no such thing as epistemology. It's a balogny word.

  • @tnguyen318 Do you mean balogna or baloney? ;p

  • It's what we call a question and an answer. There is no study.

  • socialism ftw :D

  • You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick. Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, are all okay with you, but helping other Americans...oh hell no.

  • @Freethinkersclubuk you implying that someone said you couldn't go to the doctor just proves your ignirance gg.

  • @sharingon47447 Ya what? You know exactly what I meant, I meant sick and don't have any health insurance or money to pay for it. I can see what side of the coin your face falls on, what a stupid comment to make, everybody can see my point, but you, search for the negative, go away.

  • @Freethinkersclubuk Everything you stated was negative... hypocrit much?

  • @sharingon47447 ignirance?

  • its not a matter of health care for all, but a matter how they wish to bring it about and the damages it can do to the economy. in new england alone insurances companies make up 10% of the employed population. obamas health care strargey could put 75% of those people to unemployment. its ok to live in poverty while the country triples its debt yet again, but dont worry you'll have socialised no choice allowed inurance while ur broke

  • i am greatly ashamed and embarrassed to be an american, that WE one of the wealtiest countries does not provide affordable health insurance, and yet they are quick to spend billions to help other countries.. millions for health charities.. where is all this money?? U.S too quick to kiss other countries ASS and treat thier own like SHIT...

  • @smylewithme ...and trillions on the military

  • @smylewithme That money bein' spent on health care for everyone ain't comin out of your uncle Obamas pocket. There is two sides to every coin.

    Reminds me of a joke I heard. It went something like...

    Obama Bombs: One part Jager, two parts hope. Everyone at the bar gets one and someone else always buys it for you.

  • @smylewithme which countries ass are we kissing? we still have one of the highest standards of living...

  • everyone who likes this man as our president is a complete idiot. this man is slowly taking away our constitutional rights. this health care bill is a violation of our constitutional rights and he should be impeached. do some research instead of watching cnn and thinking you know everything about obama. thats why you all are ignorant. people compare him to lincoln?......i compare him stalin

  • youre an idiot. im embarrassed that youre an American.

  • im a constitutionalists, because I believe in what the founding fathers saw in America, not what this cocky "president" believes in. its "WE THE PEOPLE" not "WE THE GOVERNMENT". you will be sorry when this government is even more screwed up because of this man. i only agree with one thing obama wants and thats to bring the troops home. everything else is a load, 1/3 of America is minorities and everytime i speak my mind about him im called a racist? thats American for you..

  • @tbon3r301

    everyone has a right to be cured if ill....this is the greatest country in the world ?? and we let our people die ?? why don't you get on a plane and see how the rest of wealthy nations live - go to europe and see how their government takes care of their people - people are scared of change ...I hope you never have to eat your words !!!!!!!!! before something happens to you - take care and open you mind a bit ...fellow american -

  • @Estherpatriarca im not worried one bit about myself. im a hard working american so i am not afraid if i becoming ill. theres a constitution for a reason. this bills been passed..thats one violation we are going to let just slip by? now the government knows they can get away with more. thats whats wrong with this government..we have strayed way off of what an actual government should be

  • @tbon3r301 The government does control most public services like the police dept, fire dept and shools just to name a few. Insurance companies make a profit when they are not supposed to make a profit because the money given to them should be to take care of the ppl. We don't see the fire of police dept trying to make a profit. Imagine if the fire dept was trying to make a profit when putting down a fire. Public services should be run by the government, so the middle man wont make a profit

  • @tbon3r301 how is he infrining your right?? Surely he's enforcing them?? "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" how can you encapsulate all three without good healthcare?? Here in the UK , as you know, we have the NHS - it's brilliant!!! You could have access to the best healthcare for free...that's civilised!

  • @bakerj02 in the UK you don't have health insurance to go through either dim wit. Obama is forcing you to get insurance not taxing us for HC like so many other nations

  • @sharingon47447 Either way, I have to pay a tax, an insurance on my earnings which cover my health needs..from the cradle to the grave since 1947. I don't pay excessively and when I'm unemployed and not working I still get premium healthcare...now if you want to talk about a forced tax it's the BBC license fee

  • Barak's Health Care Legislation... Will you support this administration's policy? Visit my utube profile and See just why Americans thoughts are important !!

  • this is not the bill obama wanted to originally pass, thank god...at least with this one, u MUST get insurance or get a fine, and u must pay for that insurance...its WAYYY cheaper tho, but yes u still have to pay...i love correcting all my friends that think people are going to get FREE HEALTHCARE ...people need to actually read the bill instead of hearsay.

  • Finally a President that cares about the other 98% of our country that doesn't make over 500 thousand dollars a year. Finally a president that wont be bought by the 2% of our country that owns just about every one of us that has or ever will comment on this video or any other video on youtube. Look back 50 years when our country taxed those 2% of us that made more money then the most of us could even fathom, when our country had money to build roads and fund hospitals.

  • When reagan lowered taxes for everyone, we could do that too

  • Personally i see this going completely wrong. This will cause lay offs even if he says that's not what he is trying to do. the government health care will become a monopoly moving us one step closer to socialism. However making health care companies reliable is a good idea.... Why can't he just do that and be happy?

  • It's saying something when the people who passed the healthcare bill, won't even take the health care, but take a different care for them and their family... It's also saying something when Biden whispers, "this is a big f**king deal into Obama's ear... well at least we know Biden has somewhat of a brain considering this bill is going to f**k us all...

  • It's a big f***ing deal because no president for the past 70+ years has been able to do so. Ever since FDR our country has ben trying to get universal health care and has been shot down by our capitalist corporations looking for any way to make another buck. I bet at the most you make 100 grand a year and the health care CEO's wipe their ass wih that money. Why don't we go back to the days of old when our country taxed our most richest citizens 90%of their income and see how our country fairs.

  • i don't think you understand your countries foriegn intrests and the expendable income it creates to fund your country.

  • Question? What is an afordable cost of health care covrage? Over the last year I have not heard this number. I have heard about the number of people covered already, not covered, the amount it cost insured becuse of uninsured, how much it will cost the country or save this country. Nothing on how much it will cost the citizen.

  • I'm from the UK and I' like to congratulate you guys on getting this Health Bill!! Obama ROCKS!!!

  • @bakerj02 yea he totally does wish everyone would see what a big step this is for the middle class family.

  • @dutywine1221

    Are you being sarcastic buddy??

  • @bakerj02 no Dude i'm actually saying he ROCKS.........and being a woman that is from the middle class family I know that health insurance is a big deal and he is doing something that is needed..........SO NO I'M not being sarcastic

  • @bakerj02 I double this. Congrats from here as well - I´m from germany and think this step was really overdue in the U.S. Healthcare should be a fundamental right for everyone and not only a privilege of the wealthy ones. A healthy country takes healthy citizens. A chain is just as strong as its weakest link. Becoming ill is something that can happen to everyone and everyone deserves help. Obama rules!

  • these people just want to feed him grapes and fan him with palm leaves. He's trying to take our minds off all of the jobs he still has not created, and gas prices on the rise again. Of course our health care needs some changes, but to say the government can do better. Please. Tort reform for one, would be the place to start, but I'm sure most Dems dont know what that means. As long as he just looks good standing up there and speaking, that's their man. Suckers.

  • @ceddy1968 If government would have enforced the Anti Trust laws it would never have come to this.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, sure he does, as long as the teleprompter does not break down. LOL

  • Ceddy Ceddy Ceddy, after the comment you just made, we all know why you are upset..... And it has nothing to do with health care. SO OBVIOUS.

    Can you cover it up just a little?

  • This comment is for the person who commented above this paragraph, ceddy 1968. You made the statement that (Obama should start with tort reform, and that a lot of democrats don't know what that mean.) I'll have you know that I am a Democrat, and if you read through the bill precisely then you would have interrupted that tort reform is one of the options that the secretary is pursuing. Clearly you didn't do your research. By the way Obama does look professional when he's speaking.LOL

  • he is also a total liar and people believe him....

  • what the heck. our nation would be better off if barack and his whole cabinet jumped off a cliff.

  • I am confident the new health system will be a superbly managed, adequately funded, unabused social service. Just like Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, and Social Security.

  • Free Health care seems to be working for... -England -Canada -Denmark -Finland... -Germany -Ireland -Italy -Netherlands -Scotland -Wales -Australia -New Zeland -Greenland -Well, basically all of Europe and many other countries around the world. If it works great for them, why shouldn't it work great for us? Why not partake in the system that the majority of the 1st-world countries find better?
  • The only country in this world that has a healthcare for profit is the US. If japan and canada and others can provide care to their people why not the US?

  • @unixjpn Read above statistics its better here.

  • @unixjpn Monoploies and government not enforcing antitrust laws was the real issue. Taking it over and creating a new tax we ALL have to pay was a prefferable solution to them, then doing what they were supposed to.

  • @cchege It depends on who you talk to. Statistics for you. Those who see a specialist within a month US 877% UK 40% Canada 43% Number of MRI's per million US 71 UK 14 Canada 18 SR's who recieve hip replacement within 6 months US 90% UK 15% Canada 43% Cancer survivors after 5 years US 65% UK 46% Canada 42% Patients diagnosed with diabetes who recieve treatment in 6 months US 65% UK 46% Canada 42%..You may also look at debt to GDP very disturbing when this burden is put on a government.

  • completly agree with you and as usual the REPUBLICANS are morons and don't know these faccts it's all just about the DOLLAR sign and they need to remember that it was a GOD DAAMN REPUBLICAN is the reason we don't have jobs........THE COUNTRY GOT SCREWD ON THE REPUBLICANS WATCHES.

  • Fuck the two party, it's the federal reserve that's really running this country.

  • @cchege

    and Norway

  • @cchege

    You are absolutely right, just wanted to add Norway to the list also! :)

  • @supportourtroopsman lmao sorry. I'm not as smart as you. I've never heard of the term country pumpkin before. I have, however, heard of the term country bumpkin. Look it up, mr. Country bumpkin.

  • @supportourtroopsman you sir a narrow minded country bumpkin bafoon

  • And you are the idiot who spelled !PUMPKIN! wrong. moron

  • @Supportourtroops watch the documentary outfoxed. That may change your opinion of your beloved fox news

  • shut up. Does it sound like I'm a damn liberal like you, NO! You people think that there should only be one party huh. People like you should stay out of huge issues because not only do you cause them, but you tend to make them worse! Like I'm going to change my mind on anything, PLEASE! I'm conservative, not a democratic, liberal commie! I'll give you this one quote from the liberty group as I have said to others" I'll keep my Freedom, guns and money, you can keep the CHANGE!" recognize it.

  • your country is doomed anyways, you all want to be bigger and better than everyone else, you fight wars that are not yours to step into. create profit from war. your government prints its own money to get out of the shit. wake up and start to do something about it

  • @killerchin007: once we deal with these pathetic liberals/commies in our nation, we'll be back. This nation has more opportunity and talent than any other in the history of mankind. If we waste it, then shame on us, but our destiny won't be up to anyone else.

  • Obama is one big disgrace to the USA

  • @hafaskater: Obama is a disgrace to the USA, because he never had any qualifications to be president....never had one ounce of executive experience....never even ran a hot dog stand...disgraceful. He is the typical liberal/socialist, and this policies will be disastrous. He'll be a one-term disgrace, thank God!!

  • you said it.

  • Health care reform had been debated for 50 years, it is about time to vote. Republican don't want reform. Bush had both houses, they could have reformed it the way Republican wanted. Republican DON'T WANT REFORM PERIOD. Insurance is the master of Repulbican party.

  • He is NOT A BLACK PERSON AND NEITHER WERE THE PEOPLE WHO RAISED HIM !!!!

    They were PINK...well kinda Tan...cause they lived on the Beach...

  • Obama is not a comunist nor a socialist. He's a progressive.

  • Is just a matter of time now. Eventually Obama health care reform plan will pass. The health care reform bill is already constructed and is just waiting for President Obama to sign it. This health care reform plan will benefit the poor and rich.

    The only people who hates Obama health care reform plan are the greedy people and greedy business.

  • well, well, just like every time we itiots give in and give another blue lips a position in power, they either rob someone, get caught in a bribe, drugs....it goes on and on....when are we gona stop. lets stop playing games, if he was red, blue ,yellow and MYBEE white, he would never ever had got in, in actuality he sucks at all, all, its not his color, its him! he got in office like all get postal, firefighters, and any job that must hire minorities, then once they get in...fraud, drugs......

  • Fuck them all. All of them are god damn liberals and commies. I say burn them all and send them to HELL! We should impeach this fucking scumbag! He is by fare the worst, if not, THE worst president in History! I hope someone kills his sorry ass, AND I Freeking tired of hearing them clap for this scumbag as Im Typing this comment!!!! AAAAHHH!!!! >:(

  • @supportourtroopsman

    I'm surprised you're even intelligent enough to type that comment

  • How so?

  • And Why is that?

  • @supportourtroopsman

    You are what can be classified as an extremist. You equate seemingly all liberals and democrats, especially obama, as communists. Never mind all of Europe has universal health care, and they hate communism much more than America (they had to actually experience it).

    Also you equate Obama as the worst president in history based solely on this. Ignoring all the other achievements he has done in the last 18 or so months

  • I have a freedom of speech. If obama takes that right away from me, I'm still gonna do it weather they sue me or jail me.

  • @supportourtroopsman what about your right to privacy? pretty sure Bush took that away.

  • @supportourtroopsman. What? How is Obama taking away or even attempting to take away your freedom of speech? What evidence leads you to believe you will go to jail for speaking your mind as you are doing right now?

  • @supportourtroopsman: I guess you have the right to be a misinformed idiot. Health care reform will benefit you.

  • prove that fact. How will it benefit us, the people, here in America? So far he has taken money away from small businesses and has taken our saving from our pockets and put it to the government to give to those who are needy and dont work or people who are not insured. It has already happened to me once. And when I run out of life savings and money that I have earned, then how will I be able to afford life insurance and medical bills when there is no money in my pocket, hmmm? Think about it.

  • @supportourtroopsman: That's completely untrue. I have a small business and I can say the only change is that business is better. No one has taken money out of my pockets, in fact the stimulus money seems to be reviving the economy. I don't know what you're talking about really.

  • Well Why dont you look at the poles and the stats of the economy and see why people are loosing there money. In fact, why dont you just watch the damn news instead of this C-Span crap. Watch fox instead of those lying left news broadcasters like cnn or nbc. Why dont you chat with Mark Levin and he'll tell you why you are completely wrong. Try doing that! unless your soooo smart and think that what you hear from our president is going to help ALL of the people here in the Unites Sates of America.

  • @supportourtroopsman: You really should work on your spelling. How can I take you seriously?

    FOX? You do know that Fox channel is just a mouthpiece of corporate interest funded by their dollars, don't you? It's not news, it's ENTERTAINMENT. They lie, lie, lie. I think I'll go with legitimate news networks.

  • NO, you think? ooohhh, im so sorry, I didnt know you knew so much........ REALLY? You think that fox is a bunch of lies and an entertainment program?! REALLY? And you know that how? Then how come FOX news broadcasts all political speeches of both parties while cnn and nbc only broadcast on party, the democratic party. Why, BECAUSE CNN AND NBC ARE A BUNCH OF LYING SCUMBAGS AND DONT BROADCAST WHAT IS FAIR OR RIGHT! AT LEAST FOX FIGHTS AND CNN AND THOSE OTHERS WHINE! think about it watch FOX moron

  • @supportourtroopsman: Fox attaches opinion to their "news." The other networks do not attach their personal opinions. I say opinion, it is basically what the corporations pay Fox to say. Please wake up.
