  • These people are so fucking dumb it hurts. Their stupidty just gave me severe back pains.

  • What's all this about healthcare?

  • Let me tell everyone wha's going to happen. With absolutely no practical way of even beginning to activate this bill, it's going to be deemed a "long term plan" and fade into the sidelines for years and even decades. And by that time, the Tea Parties will have inevitablly created a new Republican majority in Washington that will kill the bill. And that will be the end of it. Questions?

  • As soon as anyone makes the Hitler analogy they lose all credibility in my book. Unless Oboma killed 6 millions Jews you have no ground to stand on. Hitler probably ate ham sandwiches does that make anyone who eats ham sandwiches Hitler?

  • stan brock: I need to be in haiti, i need to be guatemala, i need to be in zimbabwe

    holy fuck. that's about all that needs to be said right there

  • I have a friend whose wife has Breast Cancer and the medical bills are enormous. They have had to declare bankruptcy. Apparently medical bills will put you out on the street in this country!

  • Obamacare was signed on March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It’s unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it.” watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To It’s also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk

  • Should I press 'Like' or 'Thumb Down' ?????

  • I live in Canada and we've got socialized medical care. In many aspects it sucks but in all my life I've never seen a "death pannel" and there's no resemblance in my society to nazi Germany.

  • @georgekostaras Nor is there any resemblance in the United States. It is only in the minds of the very stupid.

  • i hope all the people who don't want health care and get sick then get deneyed coverage because there medicine is "experimental"

  • good idea. lets subside corn and make healthy food expensive as possible, but health care is free. so go ahead, everyone eat junk food and wait in line to get ur teeth pulled, i dont care. but seriously, stop relying on government for money, hand outs, etc

  • GOULD FOR PREZ

  • These people might be loons but so are the fucktards who think that ANYTHING progressive is somehow good and that no wicked people were ever labeled progressive in their time.

  • There is a special place in Hell for people like these, and all who support them because they will do anything to see Obama fail.....

    To the tune of 44,780 American souls a year....sad.

  • if you are in fact a supporter of people like obama i would suggest to you that condemning people who oppose him is dead end route. unfortunately something much for sophisticated is needed to defeat his opponents. again i would suggest that, in being a representative of barack o'bama in your community, you avoid using rederic to condemn your opponents as evil. the first step towards progress is fraternity and mutual understanding

  • @ :08 Hitler sets up a Commity that decides who survives!

    So now we have Death Panels......ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!

    We have REAL Death Panels now!

    It's called your "health plan's Board of Trustees"!

    You know the one's who stay up late at night finding new ways to save money by letting you die. Usually they stall you with paper work until you literally give up on life itself!

  • @TargetGuy2245

    Ok now I see it's an equivocation on the term "Progress".

    Or as you say "how germany "progressed" in the 1930s" Therefore Hitler was a "progressive"!

    Is that all you losers have is word games and Fallacies of Ambiguity?

  • Every historian worthy of the title will tell you that National Socialism was a progressive movement. Since when does a progressive movement have to be humanitarian or good for society? Hindenburg and others in the government back then were considered outdated conservatives (many still dreamed of bringing back the monarchy).

  • Not even Wikipedia confuses National Socialism with progressivism (a term that real historians take care to use correctly).

  • SO all the new ideas Germany had were nor progressive??? Get fucking real. Germany was considered a marvel of innovation in the USA before the war started. The concepts of everyone working and everyone belonging (grant it if they were racially preferred). Do you know who Gregpr Strasser was? What passes forl thinking today is a fucking joke.;

  • No, that's not what progressivism is, either.

  • Same goes for Stalin. Lenin and Tritsky were conservatives (right wingers) withing the communist party. Stalin was considered a progressive (left wing) communist.

  • @TargetGuy2245

    I can see that the strength of your Semantics are rooted in Fallacies of Ambiguity. They are nothing more than an Equivocation on several terms....

  • @TargetGuy2245

    Two guys walk into a church and open the confessional doors and start clubbing the occupants to death.

    Attacker #1 renders thehis victim unconscious first so he doesn't suffer.

    Attacker #2 could care less about what his victim feels.

    You want to label attacker #1 a "humanitarian" because he was less cruel!

    "Lenin and Tritsky" (trotsky) and STALIN, were all Leftist Communists!

    Your equivocating on the terms "Liberal" and "Conservative"!

  • Comment removed

  • I guess republicans are COMMUNISTS! After all the Chinese call their country "the peoples 'REPUBLIC' of china!

  • ............It didn't matter that he only rounded up Foreigners, Minorities, Liberal Politicians, Labor Union members and leaders, Artists, Homosexuals, liberal members of the clergy, Liberal College professors, Intellectuals, Communists and of course "SOCIALISTS"! etc., etc.

  • @TargetGuy2245

    I love how These Am Radio University graduates like to compare Obama to Hitler through some supposed "Socialist' link!

    It Usually goes like this:

    Hitler created the Nazi party which gave us the term "NAZI".

    "Nazi" stood for National "Socialism".

    True Socialists are liberals politically.

    Therefor Hitler was a Socialist and a product of THE LEFT!!!.......................­.

  • I go by fact and the fact is that Obama is not using totalitarian ideas but he is advocating larger govt. Some people go extremes to protest. So what. No one believes them. The terms liberal and conservative really mean new vs. old so my arguments in regards to the dicatotors are valid.

  • Do you know anyone who is on medicare or medicaid or social security or welfare or veterans services?

    Do you know anyone who has ever sent a letter via the USPS, had their house fire put out, been arrested, gone to a library, gone to a public school, or taught in a public school?

    All of that technically makes the US a giant socialized gulag... right?

    Obama is not advocating larger government anymore than Bush was. In fact it seems like less government to me... and to actual facts.

  • It didn't matter that he round up Liberal politicians, Labor Union members and leaders, Artists, Homosexuals, liberal members of the clergy, Liberal College professors, Intellectuals, Communists and of course "SOCIALISTS"! etc., etc.

  • I love how These Am Radio University graduates like to compare Obama to Hitler through some supposed "Socialist' link!

  • Hitler and the Nazi party were considered progressives in their time. Time magazine even gave Hitler Man of The Year status. People marvelled at how germany "progressed" in the 1930s. A few saw warning signs but they were ignored.

  • @TargetGuy2245

    Yeah, real progressives...

  • Comment removed

  • Seriously, what is wrong with these people? What is wrong with trying to provide health care to everyone? People die everyday because they do not have the money to pay for the treatments they need. This is America, why is that happening here????

  • Just goes to show who these idiots only care about. I hear them get on people who can't afford healthcare saying their lazy/don't work. Are they for fuckin real?? It pisses me off because I've seen it and I'm blessed I don't have to live the way they do but I would love to do whatever I can to help a fellow American.

    These fools don't know how or refuse to walk in other people's shoes because their heads are just so far up their ass. It's utterly disgusting. So much for their... "Patriotism"

  • Ayn Rand

    Milton Friedman

    Ronald Reagan.

    That's why.

  • exactly right. if ppl dont believe obama himself when he says that there are no gov bureaucrats deciding who gets covered, then what the hell do we do? i mean the man himself is telling u otherwise and ppl dont wanna believe him. its not even that ppl dont believe him, its that ppl DONT WANT TO believe him.

  • @joinalbin

    It's called AM Radio!

    Rush and friends have a network covering every square inch of thisd nation continually pumping manipulated "statistics", half baked "logic"

    Goebels him self would be proud of the Propaganda network built by the Right in this country!

    There is no other way to sell their SHIT!!!

  • This is true, BUT...................many people bring bad health upon themselves and are wasteful with their money to begin with so I do not have a hell of a lot of sympathy. If someone smokes for 40 years do YOU want to pay for their cancer treatment and hospice??? What moral obligation do you have??? Did you tell them to smoke???

  • @mizzpriss02 dont worry, as long as we all vote we will get another democrat even if its not obama running... the republican party is split between conservatives and teabagging rascist idiots

  • @wildboy789789 You are right, the teabaggers are hiding behind issues they know nothing about. They need to quit hiding and just come out and say it, they are racist! They let it slip a few times already. Why do anglo people have so much anger towards President Obama? Our last president ran our country into the ground and their was NEVER this much anger!

  • @mizzpriss02 sadly it all comes back to taxes. i agree that if many other countries (not just developed core ones, but even the states people would consider "Third World") can do this, america should to. unfortunately, there is a sizable group of people here who just absolutely refuse to have govt get involved in anything...which really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me

  • Death Panel's To the TeaBaggers!

  • UMMMM????

  • I say put it out there for a national proposition as CA is so famous for doing. We'd have the PUBLIC OPTION. Done deal. Find something else of kevetch about.

  • penn state didnt put harvard out of business

  • The new health care plan may not be the best but I feel its the best thing we could get the way the systam was last time.

  • It's a start, however, we can do better only if people allow it to run its course and make improvements.

    People shouldn't knock it before they try it.

  • How much are the Repubs and the insurance co's paying these people?

  • In less than 48 hours of the Congress speech, more than 450,000 people signed messages urging Congress to pass the President's plan -- and donated more than $1 million to drive the campaign for change.

  • It all really doesn't matter anymore bush sent this country over a cliff along with our military. We are truly fucked,,,,,,,,,,,

  • how can someone be a fascist AND a socialist?

    [by the way, first person to say Hitler was a socialist by using the arguement that Nazi was short for 'National Socialist' is an idiot and need to read up on their history and political philosophy]

  • Where do all those people calling Obama a liar & Hitler come from? I mean, are they really that satisfied with their healthcare now that they have to call the President, Hitler?

  • Obama is a liar.

    He lied to us about keeping our health insurance

    factcheck[dot]org/2009/08/keep­-your-insurance-not-everyone/

    He lied to us that he could save $500 Billion on Medicare

    politico[dot]com/static/PPM124­_doc.html (page 2)

    He lied when he said that AARP endorsed the Democrats plan

    washingtontimes[dot]com/news/2­009/aug/12/white-house-obama-m­isspoke-about-aarp-endorsement

  • Your points are thin, to say the least. The Factcheck article, for one, mostly points out that it's not entirely clear what will happen as far as employers switching plans, but it also says that there will be no mandate for anyone to change plans.

    I haven't read the Medicare article yet, but the AARP has been quite supportive of health care reform thus far, though they might not have given a formal endorsement, as there's no final bill to endorse yet.

  • lol,for real.

    what the fuck?

  • Warm and hopeful? look at where theyre getting treatment! It should be in hospitals, I get Way better health care and i live in south africa! now thats what the fuck!

  • This is how the news should be reported! What The F@#k!!!!!

  • Obama is a liar?

    What does that make George W. Bush and DICK Cheney?

  • According to conservatives....Jesus and Santa

  • well according to Republicans they are "messengers from God"...

  • If George W. and Dick Cheney are messages from God, then the message to us is "Fuck you."

  • So, Obama is apparently a Marxist AND a Nazi at the same time?

    Hmmm.....sounds like someone needs a history lesson!

    Why would you ever WANT to pay THOUSANDS of dollars for healthcare? It's like the owman said: "Do I really need to go the hospital and rack up a ridiculous bill?" Hospitals won't admit patients until they're sure they have insurance to "pay" for care, and that very insurance which is SUPPOSED to help shortchanges customers by making THEM pay outlandish prices.

  • This is a CRIME, this is a DISGRACE, this is WRONG and America should be ASHAMED....

  • I'm more than surprised that Mr. Gould doesn't understand how the Haves could be so angry and the Have-Nots so hopeful. When have the Haves ever wanted the Have-Nots to have what the Haves have---or even a chance at it? Isn't any proposal to let the Have-Nots share in prosperity via ANY means, even the fairest or most innocuous, immediately seen as a threat to the Haves?

  • Think of unions, the minimum wage, the right to go to the bathroom and lunch during your workday, occupational safety standards and their enforcement, the whole spectrum of civil rights (incl. rights for people of color, women, LGBT folk, the disabled, et al. et al.)---never forget how many people were maimed and killed in these struggles or to get these rights, precisely b/c the Haves wanted to keep excluding the Have-Nots. These rights were fought for EVERYWHERE but SECURED through govt.

  • cowboy hat in Alhambra? That guy is so out of place.

  • These fuckers were bussed in from Orange County. Alhambra is predominantly Chinese. They Republican slime machine fucked up there.

    I sincerely doubt these people live in Alhambra.

  • How is that Big business has your best interests in mind. Is insurance companies taking great care of you their number one goal? Forget billion dollar profits and CEO bonuses, they don't want that. It's not like it has been proven time and time again that profit maximization is the only option. Although you are right, the government wants to be totalitarian, fascist, Nazi-like and whatever other rhetoric you have to regurgitate.

  • I have health insurance through my employer. I pay $250/month and my employer pays 350/month. That is 250+350)x12 = $7200 per year. That would be the savings with socialized medicine.

    Lets hope that the people working on this are capable and objective.

  • We are talking about changine 1/5th of the economy to cover less than 5% of the peoples.

    it would be FAR cheaper to just open the VA and medicare to those who cannot afford insurance.

    the cost of this will be a new tax that will double your income taxes.

    Wake up. the gov't should regulate, not run health care.

  • It's really funny how brainwashed people are. We all pay an astronomical amount in taxes (I pay the most, living in So Cal with my income level) and anti-healthcare ppl are FIGHTING to have their money squandered by the Government.

    What about using it for services we need like healthcare? What's wrong with your mind? Do you seriously not understand that you're fighting with yourself when you argue for your money not to be used on services for yourself? Good morning. Wake up.

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone who opposed the healthcare reform is a racists abnd an ignorant, they saying no to a black president, sorry we elected Barack Obama and he is our president...get your channel change from fox news to pbs...they need the basic elementary information...:)**Brava**

  • The nay sayers have been miisinformed by the insurance company cronies-that have pumped over $200 million since March of this year to make sure this does not pass!

    People PLEASE, unless you can offer a better solution-support one that is trying to help the citizens of America!

  • WORD UP.

  • Wasn't everyone claiming that "If the government can't even run a Cash for Clunkers program how can they run our healthcare?" Now they're worried if their private insurance companies can compete with the government?

  • I get error message after error message.

    What a surprise. Haven't been able to watch anything on Youtube in days.

  • Comment removed

  • Amen to what stone dragon said. Stupidity must be stopped. We cannot afford it any longer. Even if we have to shut down Fox news for contributing to it with thier constant stream of LIES>

  • Why has America become so stupid!! Universal health care is something that most people in this country need. Drug companies and HMOs want you to stay uniformed so they can't keep stealing your money, but we got morons protesting for them instead of calling them on their bullshit. Get your heads out of your asses America!!!

  • what the fuck

  • I concur Doctor.

  • america is full of crybabies qtiyd

  • hel yea

  • NO SOCILIST

  • America is fucking doomed

  • NO SOCIALEST

  • LMAO WTF!!! didnt see that coming....but sooo true we need reform and we need it NOW

  • Republicans are destroying people power!

  • hooooly shit, the us truly isnt a 1. world nation anymore, i mean WTF mobile medical centers, the word DISGRACE doesnt even begin to describe what a fuckin DISGRACE this is for a "superpower". America, beacon of poverty,homelessness and stupidity.

  • Well said.

    I love America but don't understand those republican nuts???

  • Pretty much sums it all all these conservative assholes are trying to relieve the 80's or worse the 50's and they just don't understand that the rest of the world has passed them by.

  • This coming from a German - thats funny!

  • how so?

  • Oh I don't know - Fucking Hitler! Nazis, Neo Nazis, Skinheads.

    Take your pick douche bag.

  • thx, youre making another excellent point, your school system produces so much trash like you, and i bet you actually think your intelligent and strong( metaphoricly) so yeah, drop dead :) no actually, get sick, and then be dropped from ,if any, healthcare insurance :)

  • No moron health insurance does not drop you when you get sick - it fixes you. Also shit head in America when you take a job you do not take a physical to get insurance.

    You should know this as Germany has a system of over 300 Health insurance companies.

    Fuckin Kraut.

  • @DirtyRedNeck100

    Yeah! You're right!

    Only those with jobs should have health care! The unemployed are fucking losers and should just die!

    Fuck yeah!

    ...

  • No shit head what I said is that when you get a job you don't have to take a physical for your health care insurance. Also fuck box when you get let go you do not need a physical for the COBRA package.

  • Read the post then compute the message and then reply. Try not to make up shit and then reply.

  • Also moron - no one can be denied care in America you fucking retard. Even the unemployed. Fuckin stupid dumb moron.

  • aha, so all those people how have lost healthcoverage when they needed it, all those 46mio how have no insurance at all, and all those guys who sell their home because of healthcosts are faking or what.....and yeah, we have a non profit market of insurance funds, and the great thing is, we dont get denied because of "preexisting condition", btw this is so fucked up, not even americans should have this shit, and we keep exactly the same coverage if we lose our job.

  • Yeah, and who pays for all those ER visits? YOU DO.

    Except that you pay much higher rates than for a clinic visit because the ER is designed for emergencies, not care of the uninsured. It's a huge fucking waste, and it doesn't treat people early on, when it would be the most cost effective.

    I'm afraid that you are the "fucking retard", who can't even piece together what's in his own financial interests...

  • So how does my taxes getting raised, my health care getting changed help me. I either pay for their ER or I pay for their insurance. Either way I catch it.

  • We pay LESS, as a society, if we don't pay for people's emergency care, but rather cover them earlier.

    ER costs 4 to 5 times regular clinic visit. Do you really want to keep the status quo? Ask any ER doctor.

    Quite apart from the fact that ER treatment is usually a last resort -- hardly the basis for sensible public health policy.

    America is fucked up because half the people get over-treated and half get no treatment at all.

  • Well i am over treated - you go take care of the other half - i will take care of me and my family.

  • @DirtyRedNeck100

    Yeah, Fuck society!

    Man, you give "greed" a bad name.

    Are you really this misanthropic? Or is it just an affect you picked up while spending time with the wrong kind of people?

  • Really shit head? Is it greedy to be concerned about my own family? Fuck off i paid for my own education. I bought my house. My wife and I work our asses off. Just like hundreds of millions of other Americans. Now not only do I have to pay taxes for programs I don't use, pay into bankrupt social security, bail outs, medicare medicade you want more from me!

    The amount I give to my church, charities and taxes is fine. Stop asking for more.

  • All this health care reform for you is a morality shower so you can feel better about having what others can't get for themselves.

    So when you go out at night to a nice dinner you are guilt free.

    I have no guilt. I served my country, I give to charity and I am honest and loving to my family.

    What is in your closet that demands such penance?

  • Ha! It would be a morality shower, except I don't hear about the immorality of the current system ever! When's the last time someone didn't talk about cost? Even Obama talks almost exclusively about reducing cost. Morality doesn't get any airing.

    Thankfulness and awareness is not guilt. I'm sorry you appear not to have much empathy. I don't see what good your church is doing...

  • You asked why trust corporations? I ask why trust the government. I have had no problems with my insurance company. The birth of my son cost me $15 in a co pay!

    The government can't even fix the fucking potholes on my street. Its been 8 years and they can't rebuild the world trade center.

    When I get into an accident my insurance company sends over an adjuster the next day.

    When a pipe bursts in the street it takes 4 days for the town to come and stop the flood.

  • Congrats. It sounds like you really enjoy your insurance. Can I please have good coverage? Government or Blue Cross, Ill take either one

  • How about we cut taxes for the health insurance companies and let them use that money to pay for the uninsured?

  • How about you quit pulling shit out of your ass and prove to me that this scheme would actually work.

    You really trust corporations over your government, eh? Wow, no wonder fascism was so easy...

  • Comment removed

  • You are a poor caricature of yourself. Not even funny.

    The irony is that it was people just like you who willingly cheer-lead Hitler into power; no self-awareness, no self-irony. Sad.

  • That's funny - it was my people who were killed by Hitler! But nice try. Government run health care is a step towards socialism - and as you know Hitler was a Socialist. So the comparison is towards you.

  • If it is true that "your people" were being killed by Hitler, whatever that may mean, then it is a sad reflection on you and your upbringing that you are so out of touch with the narrative and historical context of your own "people".

    If you made some effort to get in touch with the narrative of your people, you wouldn't be quite as cavalier about spouting bullshit as you currently are.

    "step toward socialism"? By your standards, the USA is already Socialist!!

  • My ancestors fought for freedom - when the Germans came they fought. After the government surrendered they took to the hills and kept fighting. The Germans dealt with partisans by killing all the civilians in the local villages. My Grandfather lost all but 2 brothers in that.

    Another brother was killed after the war by commie partisans. We lost 27 family members there is a shrine in my grand fathers home town commemorating them.

    I am proud of that - as I am proud of our self reliance.

  • I'm sorry to hear your loss, and glad that you can be proud of your family members. Now if only you spent a little time reading up on the facts surrounding the politics as a whole...

    In my experience, the people who tout self reliance the most are those who are successful and don't want to thank anybody (or any luck) for their success.

    As someone who lost so many family members in the wars, you should know that people do NOT get what they deserve. That applies to success as well.

  • Thank you - i am sorry for swearing at you - your kindness has humbled me. I don't want to argue with you.

  • I appreciate the sentiment.

    I understand that people are worried about change. I just don't understand how universal health care--something our allies do all over the world--is suddenly identifiable with Nazism, while, for instance, invading a country and openly torturing people is somehow not.

    Coming from people with family connections to the war troubles me further. I don't know how to square this circle.

  • how about all the fat people lose weight that will help the problem.

  • 1:08 it's cause you're over weight - lose some and you'll be healthy.

  • KnightBoi83: "lose some [weight] and you'll be healthy"

    Can I call you a "Nanny State" for that statement?

    Tyranny! Tyranny! Ruuuun!

    WTF. Can we have some consistency please?

  • you fail

  • KnightBoi84: "you fail"

    Brilliant. Exactly the quality of argument coming from the 'Hitleristas' in the video.

  • Tell me this how do americans expect to pay for this?

  • By printing money and taxing us all into the poor house. We are trying to multiply wealth by dividing it!

  • You are already paying for most of it.

    Who do you think is paying for the treatment in ER that most uninsured end up in?

  • Ofcourse but at the same time they're going to be adding services I don't approve of. That doesn't justify forcing us to pay for people who can't take care of themselves.

  • You are paying more for emergency room care now for the uninsured.

  • Alright, so are you willing to work on the details of what should and shouldn't go into the services, rather than blocking any form of reform?

    If you care about costs (leaving aside morality for the moment), you should be in favor of reform.

    Only reason to block all reform is if you are rich and don't care about costs, and are ideologically against the idea of further government intervention into health care.

  • Yup - you hit it right on the head of the nail. I believe in less government - if they can't get tarp, car bailouts right, cash for clunkers. what would make them be able to fix healthcare.

    you don't solve the problem of our economy by spending your way out - it doesn't work that way. do you know the value of our dollar?

    also, there are members of congress like darrell issa who have come up with ways to provide healthcare to all without raising anyone's tax.

  • " I believe in less gov"

    Fine.

    "they can't get tarp, car bailouts right, cash for clunkers"

    And the best you can do is cite programs that are either not finished yet or actually are moderately successful?!?

    You could have chosen Iraq, the school system, the response to Katrina, ... but wait, that would have required you not to be the partisan hack that you expose yourself to be.

    "darrell issa"

    Good Lord! your trust in Issa tells me everything I need to know about your judgement...

    sorry...

  • Ok how about Medicare, Medicade, Social Security, The Vietnam War - the list of government fuck ups and defaults are on going and expensive.

  • So you rather trust corporations?

    Just askin.

  • in all actually i believe people should have the ability to live comfortably and healthy, but we must take responsibility for ourselves. we must be responsible for our own lives and not feel entitled to anything.

  • Alright, so how much government is OK?

    Or are you one of those anarcho-capitalists who have this ideology that basic economics can be deduced axiomatically?

  • legalize marijuana, tax it. and boom. you got funds for a government health care system, and a much more relaxed general population.

    :)

  • If Republicans really wanted to do something about the health system in this country they should of done it when they had control of the House the Senate and the White House. Truth is they don't want to because their party is funded by health insurance companies.

  • Agreed .

  • Did he really just say it's a republic not a democracy? He and people like him are the reasons why I really wish Obama's plan really did deny healthcare to the retards of our country

  • Is that *ALL* retards? Or just retards like the guy you're referring to...specifically, retards with a better grasp of American civics than you have?

    Out of that torrent of bullshit in the beginning, you took the one thing that actually made sense and singled it out for ridicule...totally owning yourself in the process.

    Nicely done.

  • Please think before you speak.

  • Google the number of people immigrating to Canada and UK vs. United States.

  • Thank God I'm Canadian.

  • It seems very strange to me that the same people who are against free health care are some of the same people who are eager to support the spending of billions to go overseas and kill millions of people for a bullshit war. This is madness. You are the ones who are creating fear with your bullshit historical comparisons. I do not hear the Canadians or the British citizens complaining to any large extent about their socialized health care system.

  • The British in particular are getting more and more upset by the lies about the NHS that are floating across the pond.

    The British Conservatives, who support the NHS, are being hurt by their perceived connections to the Republicans.

    The GOP might just save the election for the British Labour Party.

  • Why are people who already have so selfish? For those people who claim to be Christians, I remind you of your own Bible passage in Isaiah 10 verses 1 and 2. Free health care for poor people will not have any more affect on the rich aside from a few more taxes. Most of the rich can make up for these higher taxes somewhere else anyway. Let the poor at least have the option. You are always complaining about how the money sent abroad should be spent at home, well now is your chance to deliver.

  • not to 40 plus million that arent even Americans but im glad to see you like paying for other people, hey how about next time u get paid just give away your whole check, i mean you will be basically doing it anyways once this new health care comes into play, why should the rich make up for it? why dont u get off your ass stop being lazy and make enough money to have healthcare

  • tallysblakboi, that is the dumbest thing I've read all day. Healthcare is hugely expensive, and I know people who work near 70 hours a week and can't afford the treatments they need (and they're not overweight).

  • I did not like paying for the A.I.G. and General Motors bail outs, but no one asked the poor about their tax dollars being spent for that. As far as getting off my ass. I fought in Vietnam and worked since age 14 and the Government took my Social Security money and now that I am disabled your tax dollars have to pay for my free Medicare. I hope you don't think I should not get medicare because the Government spent what I paid into the system.

  • So a few people have to wait for free health care, and it's more because it was in California, the most liberal state, than anything. Not to mention all those people were probably too cheap to go out and pay their own way. All Obamacare would do for us is make ALL of us wait 4-8 hours for any treatment. Leftists keep referencing Canada and how great theirs is, fine go there and find out. I'm not saying that we can't change our health care for the better, but Obama's "Change" isn't the way to go.

  • fundamentalist= retarded dumb-ass

  • I keep hearing how private insurers won't be able to compete with government-run healthcare, but If private business is so much more efficient and cost-effective than government-run-anything, then what's the problem?

    Surely these efficient and affordable private insurers won't have much trouble competing with the big, bloated socialist healthcare system, right?

    Americans are beyond hypocrisy now on this issue. At this point, we're virtually fucking retarded.
