Given the fact that I'm not wealthy I'm actually on the poorer end, you don't know what you're talking about. Hmm, perhaps I should have said that the U.S. healthcare WAS the best in the world.
Given the fact that you're not American, I'm not surprised at your statements.
@ManOfDeath567 Yes it is............ if you can afford it.
Barry Goldwater once said that people who work for a living should have a fruitful life and those who don't work for a living should not have a fruitful life.
Yet, working full-time at a grocery store isn't enough to make it in life. Workers in America are holding up their end of the deal for a fruitful life. Fat cats who need something to bitch about are another story.
See that's the thing. People never complain about the quality of healthcare they get...only how much it costs. That means it's an economic issue and not a health issue. There are several factors that go into the high cost of healthcare, such as inflation, lack of competition, and licensing.
@ManOfDeath567 You act as if people are complaining about the quality only. Nobody is arguing about the quality, but the quality you get is determined by how much it costs.
Insurance companies only have one concern.... themselves. They screw people over by fucking them out of coverage. Healthcare is not a priority for insurance companies.
Yes I knew from the get-go that people complain about how much healthcare costs and not the quality of care.
Talking about screwing people out of coverage...if health insurance companies go out of business then there'd be many people not covered anymore.
I am someone in the health insurance industry and I can definitely tell you that health insurance companies are not lilly white but it's a lot better than government run healthcare and government health insurance.
@ManOfDeath567 That is a silly statement. In a capitalist economy, if there is supply, demand always follows. Every single person in the country is in demand of healthcare, so there is no possible way that all "health insurance companies go out of business". The unprofitable ones will simply be replaced with profitable ones.
Furthermore, we already have socialized fire and police. It only shows that our society cares about property but could give a flying fuck about people.
@nekad2000 You know, I work in the insurance business and it really is disheartening how people do not understand us and how people demonize us.
Police and fire is a constitutional and local function. Government healthcare is not. It's failed all over the world.
And people never complain about the quality of their healthcare. Only how much it costs. Which means that it's an economic issue and not a health issue.
@MegaCrevice "Insurance companies only have one concern.... themselves. They screw people over by fucking them out of coverage. Healthcare is not a priority for insurance companies."
because of the shady practices of insurance companies i canot believe that anyone would not want universal health care i fell at work and the workmans comp carrier liberty mutual tried their best to prove my back injury was preexisting fortunately it did not work
too bad the best thing you can come up with is that hes fat (wow). My beef with him is that hes become over the top in his antics and became too partisan.
Free energy technology exists!But the coverup is very strong,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,Let the revolution begin!
here's what i don't get. and before anyone gets upset, try to understand that i'm just as much for reform as anyone else here. what i don't understand is why wasn't this matter handled in a court. it seems to me mr. donahue had a perfectly good reason to sue humana. in all honesty, while actions like moore's appear to be heroic, they don't really fix anything.
@cristoballs There is a really simple answer to this: because insurance companies have massive legal departments of top-notch lawyers, the guy in this video probably couldn't even afford a public defender. That's why.
If Jesus came down to earth he'd take Michael Moor with him and throw all of the conservative Christians to hell, they maid greed a vertu, I don't think Jesus said, fuck the poor like the republicans say.
He does not sound like a tough grizzled old soldier but some kind of dandified Nancy boy, who is afraid of wars and he is indubitably no sea-dog but the sort of pasty landlubber I have always despised. I'll warrant, the most exciting thing that has happened to this limpid prawn in a whole year, was the day when he forgot to put sugar in his porridge!
I wish I knew; it's this capitalism and personal freedom issue, I think. That works both ways, unfortunately. If someone is successful, great. If they're not and suffer from deprivation, then our attitude is "whatever". We've got our own problems trying not to sink into the same situation as that poor bastard. We can't be bothered to help others. It's scary, but most of us are too afraid to fight it. It's inherent in the system, and I take my share of responsibility for keeping it going.
So true, but it has been going on for so long--even before this TV show - search "medical tourism" and see how people will travel to other countries because they can get their treatment done affordably, even with the price of travel and vacation time built in. Right now, I think India's in the lead, but it is a lot of places that are marketing...
A qeustion to you Americans that wants the public option: Why dont you go out and demonstrate? A huge majority of you wants the the public option and I thinks its time for you to get the attention this crazy redneck tea party fanatics get.
The problem is the crazy Republicans have a monopoly on the media and their mouth pieces (Fox News, Washington Post, Glenn Beck Talk Shows) make it seem like the majority don't want health care reform when they do. That with the lobbyists throwing millions to make sure this doesn't get passed makes things extremely difficult.
I guess there are some basic things like healthcare or education that doesnt work on pure monetary approach and gets even worst combined with crony politics.
I'm an ordained minister who personally owes over three hundred thousand dollars in medical costs due to the highly deceitful policies of insurance companies.
I was denied coverage as spinal fractures were misdiagnosed (by the insurer's doctor, who avoided the cost of a CT scan) concluding my 25% spinal misalignment was pre-existing.
After two years of collapsing legs, (now permanent) a pre-surgical CT proved the injury was not pre-existing.
Funny how they ran Moore out of England because he FAILED, but also of his crappy treatment of employees. Watch the you tube video where the guy actually tries to get to see a doctor in Canada...and can... he has to wait months... it's all there on camera. Moore is a lying, manipulative sack of crap. But Lefties don't care...it's all about lying to get your way... so long as you are in a position of power when it all falls down, right?
Don't you think our rising medical cost and health insurance problems are bigger than just Moore's movie? Ignore his ass and focus on the real problem.
laughingtiger123: You're the one lying. I live in Europe and our health care system is far superior to your privatised crap that yous have over there. We can actually go to a hospital without worrying about how we're going to afford it. The spin on right wing television over there is ridiculous, and completely misrepresents what a universal health care system is really like.
Health care in the states is shit. I am a RN of 15 years in American hospitals.
People die every day because of short staff. CEOs get rich, the people get get fucked. I dont know how but the rich and the CEOs have tons of lap dogs that hate Moore. Stupid American fucks, I would move the hell out if I could.
hahaha! your in here too. you know shit. instead of talking about how you lived in Canada why don't you talk about how you got kicked out of Canada? Why don't you talk about why you can't go back. no one listen to "llcontrall" he loved Canada but they didn't want him. hahahaha!
hahahahaha! u loved Canada but couldn't support urself there and had to leave. Guess they're not all sunshine and lollypops if you couldn't support urself there.
i don't know anything about ur personal life. i know you said you used to lived and loved Canada but not enough to keep living there. you called me an Idiot for suggesting moving back there because you love it so much. its not easy to move there but you go back all the time. next time you go back to visit just get a job and live there. you make it all sound like its all sunshine and lollypops
Obama's healtcare program will expand the privet HMO & Insurance industry which is going broke because of bad investments in the Stock Market. We will be forced to buy and carry insurance if we want medical treatment. A medical panel will determine who will get medical treatment based of cost effectiveness. Obama's program is just another Wall Street bailout paid for by us. Obama is a Wall Street prostitute that will give head to get ahead. Google Video: OTC PM Report September 10, 2009
go google "hoovers health care milton friedman" and read the first article that comes up.
educate yourself, the health insurance we have now was created by government more than 50 years ago.
Government created and subidized the employer provided health insurance model....lol "free market capitalisism created these monsters"....you really have been brainwashed.
And the first rule of pseudo-intellectuals is to ignore successful precedents such as Taiwan who had previously a system like ours (private insurance only) and then decided to make the switch to a BETTER (socialized, public, wtf ever you wanna call it) system and... IT WORKS! OMG
The USA, richest country in the world, can't even provide health for all of its citizens when a measly country like Taiwan or Japan or France or Canada can?
the first rule of leftists twats is to assume the current situation is free market capitalism. I don't like the health care in America because everything costs so damn much.Obviously there is no incentive to keep costs down in an insurance system. Do you have any idea why our health care is dominated by private insurance through large employers? Any idea at all? have you even thought about it? Is it possible that this systems was...gasp....created by government intrusion into the free market?
Gov't intrusion? What gov't, the one bought and paid for by...gasp...the private insurance companies?
"free" market capitalism created these monsters that destroy the little competitors... and in turn, these monster companies send lobbyists to make "contributions" to campaigns.
I'm talking about the FACT that GOVERNMENT CREATED THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE MODEL during the FDR administration when wage and price controls were implemented to combat the inflation that was threateninig to ruin America after they printed more money at one time than ever before.
Meanwhile since companies couldn't offer higher wages to attract the talented employees they needed, they offered health care as a fringe benefit instead. This also led to the government making employer h.c. tax free.
Some of this is inaccurate or exaggerated, and parts of the video are over the top like at 2:03 when you can hear the children laughing in the background. That said, the HMOs and drug companies have been buying out Representatives, paying for biased studies, and now they can even advertise drugs on TV, so I guess it's only fair.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fucking american idiots ,, they call them selves "americans/' jajajaja,,,,,, this is the most stupid shit ive heard in my entire fucking life, the empire will fall idiots,,musulmans will destroy your temple, builded with blood of inocents,,,iam talking about politics,
Nice spelling. We don't need a mongoloid telling us "the empire will fall", we already know, because we will destroy it, so shut the fuck up with your terrible spelling and bad grammar, and I don't care if it is your second, or thirty second language, give it up and start speaking french or something.
I'm writing the same contents to anyone tha is interested in the name Humana. I have now called that company over seventy times..... I still recieve a differenct answer every time I call Humana. I want to change health care, and I believe that can happen if we all band together as a whole. thanks, jenny
are most americans FOR free healthcare knowing that it will come from tax payers money and therefore means raised taxes for everybody ?
I mean.. its ridiculous that americans dont already have it but people also needs to understand how it works.
Its cheap to live in America exactly because the government dont take responsability for war casualties, powerty or healthcare. It costs a bit more in taxes here but it raises quality of life for everyone.
To ranmaraffo. Have you ever lived in Europe? Do you have any European friends? We are the only developed country that does not have national health care. And no, my friend, Western Europeans and Canadians are not flocking in droves to move to the US.
According to Fox News.. I know several Canadians.. one of them has dual citizenships and he assures me that he is going to Canada if he ever gets a serious illness
I had to cry after this. O my ~ This is such a moving story and I'm more than glad to see people standing up for their rights and succeed in the end!
Are we supposed to believe that the federal government would be more effective at managing healthcare than companies who have profit incentives? People aren't perfect.That's exactly the reason we shouldn't concentrate more power into the federal government. It's true that people are greedy, for money, for power..in government and business. Why would I entrust the government with my health when we all know they mismanage money to an extent that is far worse than any business?
Only 10% of the Americans are satisfied with their medical treatments. You know what this tells me? while those 10% of people who can afford expensive health insurance coverages, more middle class, average Americans die everyday because they just simply cannot afford to pay for their insurance provided by these greedy private insurance companies. Privatizing the medical industry only benefits those bastards at the private health insurance industry and congressmen who were paied by them.
My entire life, my dad has given me facts of life, words of wisdom, his everyday speeches and stuff like that. My 5 rules at school, which are pretty corny, and bunches of other stuff i just wished he would stop saying, lol. But there is one. I remember the first time he ever told me this, he was crying. It is SO simple, but for some reason it just hits me every time. He said, "Kerry... What our world needs today... Is good, smart people." Not just smart... good.

Obama's healtcare program will expand the privet HMO & Insurance industry which is going broke because of bad investments in the Stock Market. We will be forced to buy and carry insurance if we want medical treatment. A medical panel will determine who will get medical treatment based of cost effectiveness. Obama's program is just another Wall Street bailout paid for by us. Obama is a Wall Street prostitute that will give head to get ahead. Google Video: OTC PM Report September 10, 2009

go google "hoovers health care milton friedman" and read the first article that comes up.
educate yourself, the health insurance we have now was created by government more than 50 years ago.
Government created and subidized the employer provided health insurance model....lol "free market capitalisism created these monsters"....you really have been brainwashed.

And the first rule of pseudo-intellectuals is to ignore successful precedents such as Taiwan who had previously a system like ours (private insurance only) and then decided to make the switch to a BETTER (socialized, public, wtf ever you wanna call it) system and... IT WORKS! OMG
The USA, richest country in the world, can't even provide health for all of its citizens when a measly country like Taiwan or Japan or France or Canada can?

the first rule of leftists twats is to assume the current situation is free market capitalism. I don't like the health care in America because everything costs so damn much.Obviously there is no incentive to keep costs down in an insurance system. Do you have any idea why our health care is dominated by private insurance through large employers? Any idea at all? have you even thought about it? Is it possible that this systems was...gasp....created by government intrusion into the free market?
stick1to2the3issue 2 years ago
Gov't intrusion? What gov't, the one bought and paid for by...gasp...the private insurance companies?
"free" market capitalism created these monsters that destroy the little competitors... and in turn, these monster companies send lobbyists to make "contributions" to campaigns.

I'm talking about the FACT that GOVERNMENT CREATED THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE MODEL during the FDR administration when wage and price controls were implemented to combat the inflation that was threateninig to ruin America after they printed more money at one time than ever before.
Meanwhile since companies couldn't offer higher wages to attract the talented employees they needed, they offered health care as a fringe benefit instead. This also led to the government making employer h.c. tax free.

Some of this is inaccurate or exaggerated, and parts of the video are over the top like at 2:03 when you can hear the children laughing in the background. That said, the HMOs and drug companies have been buying out Representatives, paying for biased studies, and now they can even advertise drugs on TV, so I guess it's only fair.

are most americans FOR free healthcare knowing that it will come from tax payers money and therefore means raised taxes for everybody ?
I mean.. its ridiculous that americans dont already have it but people also needs to understand how it works.
Its cheap to live in America exactly because the government dont take responsability for war casualties, powerty or healthcare. It costs a bit more in taxes here but it raises quality of life for everyone.

Check your facts.
Thailand gets more foreign patients than the USA.
Also, the rate at which patients are LEAVING the USA for OTHER COUNTRIES to get care is RISING.
not to mention, premiums have gone up 3x as fast as the avg wage.
We pay more for prescriptions than any other nation in the world. By a factor of like 2 LOL
This is unacceptable, and any attempt at rationalizing this means you are cheering for THE WRONG TEAM. Are you happy you've become a corporate shill?

Are we supposed to believe that the federal government would be more effective at managing healthcare than companies who have profit incentives? People aren't perfect.That's exactly the reason we shouldn't concentrate more power into the federal government. It's true that people are greedy, for money, for power..in government and business. Why would I entrust the government with my health when we all know they mismanage money to an extent that is far worse than any business?

Only 10% of the Americans are satisfied with their medical treatments. You know what this tells me? while those 10% of people who can afford expensive health insurance coverages, more middle class, average Americans die everyday because they just simply cannot afford to pay for their insurance provided by these greedy private insurance companies. Privatizing the medical industry only benefits those bastards at the private health insurance industry and congressmen who were paied by them.
