McCain, Obama Differ Dramatically on Health Care

[hallonolove]

Idiots-for-obama, you and you're people are the idiots and redknecks in America who would do anything for a buck. I've seen you on TV, you're crazy people from the country side people. Learn to accept the change and don't fight with the government, beacouse now it's liberal. From an observer's point of view from europe you're gonna get in a thing much bigger then you.

[IdiotsForObamaDotCom]

HAHA WHAT A MORON...now he's considering mccains plan..libbs are so dumb

[ClaudiaHeidi]

I wanted to say that universal health insurance works great in western world. I know some people worry about the care they would get but,it is the best that can happen at last we the people the citizens get something in this spending spree,picture this;government has health insurance for free anyway that we pay for, also the poor have medicare that we pay for in taxes. And if we all got health insurance it would save us money... think about it, you wouldn't have to pay for your health insurance.

[gneilanaid]

I don't understand why anyone would disagree with you. Where in the world do they get the idea of receiving bad care if we are on a universal health care system. The care we get now is not even great! People need to wait on average for a month to see a specialist. They must have referral papers from their current doctors and most doctor visits are brief and short. 10-15 minutes is the max time your doctor will spend with you, and that is after you have waited for them for an hour.

[pballer1994]

or...people could get off their asses, get an education, get a decent paying job and pay for their own health insurance. this is the land of oportunity, it can be done. Unless you are disabled and can't work, THEN you can have free or subsidized healthcare

[gneilanaid]

Idiot! This is not only about receiving free subsidized health care. I have health insurance and I pay for it myself. I don't beg my employer to buy it for me. Do you really need to have one of your family member get their medical treatment denied before you understand what Obama is trying to accomplish. Our health care systems sucks. They actually hire people to review & deny medical claims. The more medical claims they deny, the more $ they are paid. Think about it!!!

[joeratti]

For Halloween, some kid cam up to me dressed as Obama. I promptly took his candy bag, took about 50% of his hard earned candy, and gave it to some kids that were too lazy to dress up and go trick or treating.

He thanked me, and came back a few minutes later dressed as McCain.

[bobbyseatbobs]

now many of you liberals say obama should be pres but he is a liberle muslem and as wee all know muslems are lesser people,

obam is also a terrorist he helped willam airs bomb the capitle building. he impercinated a secratary took top secrtet documents on the capitle building and gave tit to willam airs to help him bomb it. he is arab he was born in the middle east attended an exculisvly arab school and then converted to cristianity 12 days before running...

ok i know my speling is bad

[bobbyseatbobs]

please do note i am a democrat this is just somthing i hear to much i just wanted to put that in perspecive

1. he isnt muslum and being muslem isnt bad

2.obama was 8 i think at the time

3.hes not arab yet again not bad he didnt attend an arab school ( or a mulum one) and he converted a long time ago

[Jimill]

Not only are you not good at spelling, you're also not good at lying! You're not a democrat... :P

[bobbyseatbobs]

sarcasm does not go well on mr intenet (sadly) you liberal comunist

[Melpheos1er]

McCain is so dead...

[balteser]

Can someone explain this to me. 5000 dollar tax refunds, lets say 2 hundred million Americans pay tax out 3 hundred million rounded the population of the US, not counting Youth and people who just don't pay taxes. multiple that to 5000. That's 1 Trillion of refund. within 5 years that can cause a great amount of inflation.

[joeratti]

5000 is for the family not each individual. its still expensive but so is obamas

[Soberguysknowsbest]

NOBAMA!

NO MORE LIES!

Check my profile.

[sunni1102]

The Nov. '08 issued Consumer Reports shows

Mccain vs. Obama on health care..the facts.

I will go with Obama's health care plan, its

much better. Do the math, Mccain's plan will

actually cost more, and less benefits.

Obama's plan is more reality for what the

American people needs.

[victoria59]

There is something very wrong with a government that is willing to spend 120 Billion dollars a year and sacrifice the lives of its young men and women, to give Iraqis their "Freedom", but refuses to spend far less than half of this so that its citizens can have proper Health care and not worry about loosing their house because they or their child is ill!

That is discraceful for a country that calls itself a world leader. Demand more from your Government People!

[kyokasurimono]

Victoria59, you nailed it!

[acdxyz123]

good point!

[WoffWolf]

Obama has already won actually! And McCain is kind of losing it, NO question about it! 5000 dollars for tax refunds?! What on earth is he thinking?? He is just manipulating and bribing the electors so that they will elect him! America doesn´t need a war hero, they need a modern president who is liberal and above all humane. :)

[victoria59]

Mccains a Billionaire who Health Care is not an for & he would rather be known as the guy that won a war than the president who brought in HC.

Problem is many of these Health insurers contribute money to Mccains campaign so to think that he would set up a governmnet run and controlled Health Care system and put these crooks out of business is dreaming . Same goes with alternative energy. The Oil companies are Mccains biggest lobbyists, Alternative energy will cut into their profits!

[ricjl]

Britain has universal health care provided by the state. I live in Britian. I have lived in the states, and needed healthcare there. The British system is MUCH better. It is also much cheaper - Americans pay some of the most in the world per head , and still have one of the worst healthcare systems.

[katiatomsk]

Obama is against free speech. Go to his new entries on youtube and try to put in a negative comment or click the thumbs down. Your negative comment will be reviewed and not posted while your thumbs down will not register.

Obama is AGAINST free speech.

[byrniemac791]

what the hell are you talking about!? this video is not monitored by obama!  its a SUPPORTER of his who chooses which comments he allows. I just gave my view(pro obama) on a mccain video on youtube, and it was REJECTED!

idiot.

[Pv8man]

Oh ya, lowering premium costs,

convert medical records to be stored on servers so they can be easily accessed, and reduce medical errors.

No body should be excluded because of pre-existing conditions.

Oh ya, sounds like such a horrible extremist leftist liberal sounding view of things...

/Sarcasm

[laniwilliamson]

McCain remembers me Calvin Coolidge the 13th president

[bestwayusa1]

Americans need to buy and support American made products. Many haven't and look at our economy. Start demanding stores to carry USA product's or shop elsewhere if they dont. Go on line for made in USA you can find great American product's there. Let"s put our fellow Americans back to work. The race to the bottom must stop! Honest, fare, safe, American made product's.

[byrniemac791]

yea good point. it used to be a point of pride that america produced the best goods in the world. but now big corporate executives would rather have products assembled in CHina for 25 cents, even if that means screwing entire communities out of a job

[ghettorose2]

Yes we are all living the dream!

Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States of America.

On November the 5th I will wake up and say thank you to America for making this dream come true.

Vote Obama 2008

[sniper6081]

First of all I'd like to say I hate both candidates. That being said, McCain is right. You are responsible for you. You are responsible for everything that happens to you including your healthcare. That's the philosophy of liberty.

[Fogslifted]

McCain is also gonna TAX your benifits as income for the first time in history! So, if health care through work is 12000 a year, and you make 40,000 a year, you'll be paying taxes on 52,000 a year! So right there alone your taxes will go up. You'll be paying taxes on money you don't even make! And he wants to eliminate Medicare and privatize social security. We're all in big trouble if McCain wins. Thats just a couple examples of the many ways we'll be screwed if he wins. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN !!!

[DRAKOJJ]

I think this guy has a point..... Mcain doesn't even know what he is talking about.

[daressalaamthegreat]

fuck mccain!

[djcharleyd]

How pitiful for Ralph Nader to have been excluded from this debate, even though the polls show that a majority of Americans wanted both Nader and former Congressman Bob Barr to be there.

Nader would have been the only one on stage to call for universal health care, an issue Obama has been running away from all year.

[isegoria1]

This is all the more reason why these candidates should have been working on electoral college reform together. The 3rd party has to come together first to stand in the same arena. The models of political party that people are used to seeing are hard set. There are somethings in the organizational level the 3rd party will have to adopt from the big 2 to get recognized.

Reform the voting process and the 3rd party will appear more valid. Not a suggestion - A request.

[sniper6081]

Nader doesn't want universal healthcare. That's socialism. He hates anything socialist including universal healthcare just like his friends in the campaign for liberty.

[djcharleyd]

You might want to check out the votenader08 channel, he has an entire video clip dedicated to his support of universal health care. But no, you're right, Nader is not a socialist.

I'm not a socialist either, and I still support universal health care. This statement is true for a majority of Americans, who want universal health care, and who do not identify as socialist.

[sniper6081]

But universal healthcare is a socialist policy. It makes everyone pay for something you're responsible for. Just like you're responsible for feeding yourself and getting yourself shelter you're also responsible for getting yourself healed. Also, how old is that video? One says it was a few days ago and another one from the same interview says it was from September. Last I heard he was for reforming healthcare, not socializing it.

[ZinayH]

McCain is not ho you want for a president!

[isegoria1]

McCain got his ass handed to him. Funny how he left right away and Barack and Michelle worked the crowd. Watch the post footage and you will see McCain has a fishy handshake. Watch Barack, he looks at every person in the eyes and talks real with them with a firm handshake.

McCain is a snake

[henryakaflywhiteguy]

yeah Obama is a real charmer but what the hell does that have to do with being fit to be commander and chief? i think that obama is going to win on charm then america is going to regret picking an un experienced neo democrat to lead the country.

[isegoria1]

I can only respond with I disagree with you on the lack of substance. How long do you think the American people are willing to allow a new President in office before they see change now? Honestly?

Sadly I think some people will be looking for microwave action with slow cooker results. And we all know that is just not anywhere near reality.

What needs to be changed will take time and effort from us too and he will have to work around the mess left behind.

[BLACKSareCANCERS]

You are probably the most ignorant fool ive come across in an hour. GO DIE PUSSY.

[isegoria1]

Look a moron who lives in his parents basement!

[vpew]

Wow, they sure differ a lot. I'd like to hear an unbiased view of both their policies. I'm all for universal healthcare, but is McCain's claim about Obama's plan true? either way, I'd like to be able to get healthcare and not get denied constantly

[isegoria1]

I would encourage you too look at sites like fact check and listen to both policies to make your own decision while keep a healthy skepticism. I am for Obama, but that is my decision, I encourage you to make your own.
